Even people who are decidedly not into cars tend to be familiar with the Hummer. Released with a whole a lot of fanfare back in the early 90s, the Hummer was effectively a civilian version of the Humvee, a military vehicle basically designed to roll over everything in its way. Though it’s been a little less than a decade since a new Hummer model rolled off a production line, an electric-version of the once-popular SUV may be coming sooner than later.

According to a recent report from Reuters, GM has concrete plans to introduce a brand new lineup of all-electric pickup trucks and SUVs in the next few years. And though nothing is official just yet, a revamped Hummer may be a part of that plan.

I have some fond memories of trick-or-treating as a kid every Halloween like I’m sure we all do — one of those great holiday traditions when your life is still hopefully pretty innocent and mostly stress-free, and you can roam the neighborhood dressed up and knocking on doors asking for candy. Besides the fun of racing home and dumping it all out to check out the totality of your haul, one of the other fun things I remember is the extent to which some neighbors would go all-out, adding scary decorations outside and maybe even greeting you when you got to the door with spooky sound effects.

Especially if you’re one of those homeowners who gets into the spirit and likes adding lots of Halloween-themed touches to your home this time of year, Google has just added a delightful treat to its Nest Hello video doorbells that will help you do exactly that.

Thrill-seekers be warned: If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, jumping off the top of a cell phone tower might give you that pulse-quickening buzz you’re lusting after, but it’ll probably be cut short. A 20-year-old Wisconsin man experienced that unfortunate disappointment last week after attempting an illegal BASE jump from a Charter Communications tower, only to be snagged by a guy wire.

The man scaled the tower to a height of 300 feet before jumping off. He was apparently unable to avoid the wires below, however, and found himself hanging helplessly 50 feet off the ground.

The end of the Skywalker saga is right around the corner, and tonight, the final trailer for the ninth movie in that saga aired at halftime of Monday Night Football (between the Patriots and the Jets, if you’re curious). Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will not only wrap up the story that J.J. Abrams began telling in The Force Awakens in 2015, but should also put a bow on the entire franchise, going all the way back to 1977’s A New Hope.

I have counted way too many news outlets in recent days finding an excuse to use the same playful language to describe one of the current box office favorites in the US — the Joaquin Phoenix-led Joker, which has been making money hand over fist since its release earlier this month. The film is (sigh) laughing all the way to the bank, everyone notes. For good reason.

Weeks after its premiere, with apologies to everyone who rolls their eyes at cliches like this, it seems that Joker is still laughing — nay, cackling, at this point — and still very much headed to the bank. Because if the current trend holds true, the movie (directed by Todd Phillips) could end up bumping off the Merc With the Mouth and replacing Deadpool as the biggest R-rated box office earner of all time.

Tesla has a few intriguing vehicles in the pipeline, including an all-electric pickup truck and a crossover version of the Model 3 which will be called Model Y. That said, the Tesla vehicle most people are excited about and eager to see is the company’s next-gen Roadster, a vehicle that Tesla CEO Elon Musk boasted “will be the fastest production car ever made.”

Originally introduced alongside the Tesla Semi at an event back in late 2017, the specs on Tesla’s Roadster 2 are absolutely jaw-dropping, to say the least. At the unveiling event, Tesla boasted that the Roadster 2 boasts a 0-60 MPH time of 1.9 seconds and can reach 100 MPH in just 4.2 seconds. What’s more, the car will boast a top speed in excess of 250 MPH and upwards of 620 miles of range.

Blizzard had a rough couple of weeks, having to deal with the Heartstone situation in Hong Kong, which couldn’t have happened at a worse time for the studio. That’s because Blizzard’s annual BlizzCon event is about to start, and the last thing the company wants is backlash from fans. That’s on top of last year’s uproar from a specific set of Blizzard customers, the Diablo players who had been waiting in vain for a Diablo 4 launch announcement. But a leaker said on Twitter that Blizzard will deliver this year, claiming that a Diablo 2 remaster is in the works in addition to Diablo 4.

You don’t have to be an astronomer to enjoy sky gazing, and that’s especially true during annual meteor shower peaks. Right now, the Orionid meteor shower is approaching its peak, with tonight being your best shot at spotting the “falling stars” associated with it.

The Orionids have been appearing in the night sky since early October, but as with any meteor shower of this size, it is expected to have a well-defined peak. On particularly active years, the peak of the meteor shower has provided upwards of 60 bright streaks per hour, making it well worth your time to gaze skyward tonight.
