Hey guys fun fact I've been thinking about Detroit: Become Human again and I blacked out while watching a jacksepticeye playthrough and began a false charcoal portrait on my phone.

10 hours and 56 minutes elapsed later: Connor, the Android sent by Cyberlife :)

The notebook was surprisingly full. It seemed to be a complete work, as opposed to the encrypted log retrieved from Rupert’s apartment, which Connor suspected to have been an ongoing journal. From the crime scene photos, the notebook had been found in plain sight at that—perhaps even left out intentionally. 

Metaphorical gears spun, tractionless, as Connor attempted to reconcile the possibility that this deviant had wanted to send them a message. Premeditation, planning, arrogance—how could errors and instability in an android’s code produce such sophisticated behavior? Or even a simulacrum of such?

Connor blinked down at the open page, realizing he’d become distracted. For now, his primary focus needed to remain on cataloguing the contents of the notebook. He had just enough bandwidth to run the start of a codification analysis in the background, but nothing more. 

Save for a few dozen interspersed blank pages, the notebook was all but overflowing with writings, drawings, and pasted in cutouts. While Connor could not yet parse the meaning of what he found on each page, the cutouts appeared to be primarily sourced from print books. The writings and drawings were produced with precision only an android could replicate, all in ink from a pen so common that several of the same model could be found strewn across the Lieutenant's desk. Other than those belonging to Detective Collins, there were no fingerprints anywhere within the notebook. 

There were, however, traces of evaporated thirium splattered and smudged across several pages. Primarily those with handwritten—

Connor’s focus broke. Shattered, violently. 

The notebook had been ripped from his grasp.

Did you ever see a video game character and immediately like them because of the way they look/their design without actually knowing anything about the game they are from?

Speed ball

In case you don’t believe that the new baseball rules are, indeed, lighting a fire under the torpid old game, consider this: 

On Tuesday the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Indians played a double-header - two games, back to back - in 4 hours and 14 minutes. The first nine innings took 2 hours and 24 minutes; the second game took a mere 1 hour and 50 minutes.

In three different cases last season, single nine-inning games took longer than 4 hours and 14 minutes. The longest nine-inning game on record - between the Red Sox and the Yankees, on June 24, 2016 - lasted 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Then chief time-saver, among others, is the pitch clock. Pitchers now have 15 seconds to deliver a pitch (20 seconds when runners are on base). Violators get charged with a ball.

By the way, the Tigers won both ends of Tuesday’s double-header.

THE GORE-SOAKED "WOLF'S BLOOD" YEARS -- THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE MISFITS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on "Earth A.D."-era MISFITS (and some shots of Glenn Danzig), playing the Graystone Hall in Detroit, Michigan on October 29, 1983, and one of their final shows just before their breakup later that same year. 📸: Eddy Portnoy.

"When they pull out her tongue, Pull off her face, pluck out her eyes, Well, the blood runs cold for,

When it drips from the mouth, Be forewarned, be prepared, For a grisly bloodfeast.

[CHORUS]

And that blood is just so real Because you just can't fake it And that blood is just so real Because you just can't fake it."

-- "Bloodfeast" (1983) by THE MISFITS

Some would say that the Dodge Dart was not a "Muscle Car", or even a "Pony Car".

The term pony car is used to refer to sporty compact cars that are usually fitted with a performance small-block V8 engine.

Muscle cars, on the other hand, were bigger than pony cars, with the mid-size chassis and a big-block V8 under their hood.

Well - I might be compelled to say that one specific Dodge Dart was the best weapon ever built by Detroit!

Was the 1968 Dodge Dart is the ultimate muscle car?

The 1968 Dodge Dart's small chassis and short wheelbase make it lighter than its siblings, and power-to-weight ratio goes a long way fast with a factory 426-CID Hemi shoehorned into the small engine bay.

80 each were produced

Performance: 0 to 60mph: 3.6 seconds

Quarter Mile: 10.50 seconds

Top Speed: 140mph

Gear Box Differential: 4:88.1

1971-73 Ford Mustang Mach 1

In the heart of Detroit, amidst the roar of engines and the scent of gasoline, there was a legend. It was the 1971-73 Ford Mustang Mach 1, a machine that embodied the spirit of the open road and the freedom of the American dream.

With its sleek lines and powerful V8 engine, the Mach 1 was a force to be reckoned with. It prowled the streets, its growl announcing its presence long before it came into view. It was a car that demanded respect, and it got it wherever it went.

One day, a young man named Jack came across a Mach 1 sitting in a used car lot. It was love at first sight. The car was in rough shape, but Jack saw its potential. He bought it on the spot, determined to restore it to its former glory.

Jack worked tirelessly on the Mach 1, pouring his heart and soul into every detail. He replaced the engine, refurbished the interior, and gave it a fresh coat of paint. Months passed, but Jack never lost sight of his goal.

Finally, the day arrived when the Mach 1 was ready. Jack took it out for a spin, and it was like nothing he had ever experienced before. The power, the speed, the thrill of the open road – it was intoxicating.

From that day on, Jack and the Mach 1 were inseparable. They tore up the highways, leaving a trail of dust and awe in their wake. People would stop and stare as they passed by, their eyes wide with admiration.

But it wasn't just about the speed and the power. It was about the freedom, the sense of adventure that came with every journey. Jack and the Mach 1 shared a bond that went beyond metal and rubber – they were kindred spirits, united by a love for the road and a thirst for adventure.

And so, the legend of the 1971-73 Ford Mustang Mach 1 lived on, a testament to the enduring spirit of American muscle cars and the people who love them..
