To our dearest Curious Nerds, it has been an emotionally draining week. If you don’t know, I live in Houston, so you can imagine what the last few days have been like. This was partly why our lovely Rach took over news for me last week while I prepared for Harvey. I have been very fortunate, but many I know have suffered loss. If there has been a silver lining in all of this, is my faith in the people of this city. Regardless of our differences, people pulled together. The most diverse city in the USA has lived up to the inclusivity and southern hospitality it’s known for. I’d like to share the following links if you are able of donating, please do.

Let’s continue shining light in the dark, and talk about some nerdy news bites for the week.
10. Misty Knight
The first image was released of the epic Misty Knight and her new bionic arm. We were all wondering when Misty would get her upgrade, and after that Defenders scene, there’s no denying we’ll see her new arm in action in Luke Cage Season 2.

9. Gunpowder
We have to wait a long, long, long, long time for the final season of Thrones. WTF is going to happen? I’m not going to lie, I was one of many Houstonians Sunday night whose priorities included viewing GoT uninterrupted by Harvey. It was spotty there, but It distracted me from my anxiety for 79 minutes. If you would like to quench that Jon Snow thirst, then keep an eye out for Kit Harington’s Gunpowder. See the BBC One teaser below.

1. Force Friday
Seeing as it is Force Friday, I wanted to include this awesomeness from Lego. Over 7,500 pieces and $800 of worth it, the Millenium Falcon. See more here.
Here’s to brighter times after the storm. Love to you all. Please like, follow, subscribe, and let me know what you’re excited about from the bites above.
