Architectural beauty and practical faults can be opposing points of discussions. For example, FLW buildings (while appreciated for design) are leaky (e.g. Fallingwater). Brutalist classics have structural problems due to the concrete. Movie (2024) will cause revival. @cryptozooloren.bsky.social

The Copycat Effect is real despite how many have ignored it before 2004. Then Simon and Schuster boldly published The Copycat Effect in 2004, and people began to become aware. www.amazon.com/Copycat-Effe... @binnall.bsky.social @cryptozooloren.bsky.social

The New Orleans attack (1/1/2025) follows car rammings in Dec 2024 in Germany (Magdeburg), UK (London), New York (NYC), and Israel. For readers of The Copycat Effect (Simon & Schuster, 2004), there are no surprises to their timing. @cryptozooloren.bsky.social www.amazon.com/Copycat-Effe...

Two Portland OR men died while searching for Sasquatch in eastern Skamania County, the local Sheriff’s Office told the media on 28 Dec 2024. The unnamed men, 59 and 37, were found dead in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest after a 3-day search. @cryptozooloren.bsky.social

There are some images in cryptozoology that retain permanency equal to that of the Zapruder Film’s headshot frame. They include Bluff Creek’s Frame 352, Loch Ness’ Surgeon Photo, and Lake Champlain’s Mansi Photo.

The iconic imagery represented on the Big Muddy Brewery signage almost certainly is copied from the “Design Toscano Bigfoot the Garden Yeti Statue” of the DesignToscano company, 1993. This Bigfoot is duplicated widely but I bet Toscano has it copyrighted. @cryptozooloren.bsky.social

Murphysboro IL’s Big Muddy Monster brewery’s sister Root Beer certainly should have started a trend but it didn’t seem to.

Amazing Brutalist architectural wonder is worthy of being revisited before it’s torn done. So I did on 29 Nov 2024. The former UMaineLaw Building in Portland ME. I worked at the #MuskieSchool 5th floor here for almost 15 years. Someone should have made souvenir replicas. @cryptozooloren.bsky.social
