Having recently finished @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social's "The Woman in Cabin 10," I took a peek at the trailer for the new Netflix adaptation. It appears like they took more than a few liberties with the story, but then, it is Netflix we're talking about.

tl;dr Read the book, skip the TV series.

I've got an audiobook! And it's read by Harry Kane! OK, by brilliant actor Will Close, who won an Olivier Award for playing Harry Kane in Dear England. But still. Thrilled with it. Have a listen.

It's OK to DNF a book.
It's also OK to not leave a negative review of a book you DNF.

Who wore it better?

Javier Milei, president of Argentina, sporting...what shall we call it...a "unique" hairstyle.

Actor Joaquin Phoenix in the movie "Inherent Vice," sporting a...what shall we call it..."period-perfect" hairstyle for the film set in the 1970s.
