• What are you reading?
Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach, by Kelly Robson, for SF book group. I am loving it.
• What did you recently finish reading?
A Right To Die, by Rex Stout, from one of the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
A Taste of Honey, by Kai Ashante Wilson, for SF book group. (We're reading two short books this month.)
• What are you watching?
Still watching Dispatches From Elsewhere and still loving it.
Started Everything's Gonna Be Okay on a recommendation from
jesse_the_k. The main cast is two teenagers and Josh Thomas, who has made a career of awkward, so there is a lot of potential for vicarious embarrassment humor, but it is always handled gently and realistically. Autistic character played by autistic actor is excellent.

It's brilliant, that's for sure. Have you been tempted to enlist the Canine Company in a task?

The description of the task will stay at the front of the Taskmaster youtube channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT5C7yaO3RVuOgwP8JVAujQ until the results show up there.
People post their videos to twitter? (don't really understand twitter) and then Alex Horne (the guy with the front-tooth gap) picks the best ones and edits them into a montage. Greg Davies (the guy with white hair) is officially the Taskmaster, so he reads out the rankings.
