The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

Friction is underrated for psychological health. Some small stuff needs to be annoying so we can practice resilience for the bigger stuff. And that's why my midweek hangover is good actually. I'm basically doing excellent psychological work on myself by struggling to get out of bed.

Is the surprise going to be that the film tells a complete and satisfying story and doesn't wind up feeling like homework for a film as yet unmade?

I maintain that MJF is a fantastic midcard act. He should be used like Jake Roberts or Kane as a jobber to the stars, running his mouth and dabbling in psychological torture before always losing the blow off match. Not least because his selling is his best in ring work.

Watching an old Ospreay Vs MJF match and the one skill they both have in spades is combining a terrible haircut with facial hair that is somehow even worse.

Rewatching some later PAC matches and the thing that strikes me as unique about him was the way he was able to use jaw dropping athleticism as a heel. The huge moves didn't read as playing to the crowd, they read as sadism so the crowd popped for the unlucky face taking the move as much as PAC.

This afternoon I properly broke ground on my new gamebook The City By The Sea Where Doomed Gods Still Dwell which is a lot more influenced by Megaman than the title would suggest. So far it is only medium levels of unnecessarily intricate design.

Absolutely devastated to hear that AEW stand out Pac has died at only 40. In terms of pure athleticism he is in the conversation for greatest high flyer of all time and his character work was also great. An amazing career for a lad from Newcastle ended way too soon. An awful week in wrestling.

Sure the early church fathers had some tough times but I bet none of them had to walk 45 minutes in the rain to get to an acceptably high Anglican service of mass in a depressed Northern town. They probably just said mass themselves wherever they happened to be. Pricks.

AITA for correcting my girlfriend's family every time they mispronounce my turtle's name?
I have a turtle named Geoff. Yes I know Geoff is normally pronounced Jeff. His isnt. My girlfriend's family knows this and still calls him Jeff basically every time his name comes up.
His name starts with /dz/ instead of the normal American English J sound /d3/. So regular Geoff/Jeff is roughly /dzef/ and his is /dzef/. They are similar but they are NOT the same consonant. /d3/ is a voiced postalveolar affricate and /dz/ is a voiced retroflex affricate. Basically you make the beginning of "Jeff" with the tongue farther back/retracted, which gives it a harder, deeper "dzh" sound.
I'm really into etymology and historical linguistics so the spelling was intentional too. Geoff is already a weird spelling from a modern English perspective because gives you basically no reason to predict /dzef/ unless you already know the name. Obviously I am NOT claiming medieval Geoffrey was pronounced / dzef/. I

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

Wide shot of the BRITISH MUSEUM. There are suggestions of fascism around the streets - tanks, barricades, an Orwellian 'Big Brother'-style poster on a wall. A voice of a TOUR GUIDE emanates from the museum:

TOUR GUIDE:
So the Tapestry tells acrucial chapter of our nation's history...

[Cut to interior of museum. A long Bayeaux-style TAPESTRY is on display, and the Tour Guide is speaking to a tour group]

TOUR GUIDE [smiling]:
How modern fascist Britain was created.

TOUR GUIDE:
The Tapestry begins here with the 2008 Crash, then austerity, then the AI Crash...

TOUR GUIDE:
...and by the end of the room it's just full-on fash.

Here's the media saying the government have got to do something about the legitimate concerns...

CHILD:
...About the failure of capitalism?

TOUR GUIDE:
No about brown people on boats

8
CHILD:
[pointing at boats crossing the sea on the tapestry]
Are these boats the mega-dinghies?

TOUR GUIDE:
Not all of them

9
[we see one of the boats  is a giant yacht]
TOUR GUIDE:
That one's a superyacht,
carrying money from the American fascists to the British ones.

TOUR GUIDE:
You see really it's as much a story of convergence as it is of conflict.

TOUR GUIDE:
Ok, tour over everyone

I've started reading the current Flash Gordon webcomic and 4 panels a day is such a fascinating format. It makes an issue of 2000AD look like War and Peace. I've dabbled in trying to write comic scripts for my own amusement and I've no idea how I'd approach that much compression.
