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

Startled hiker and dog encounter a personified October emerging from bare woods — a small green-faced witch with a broom flanked by jack-o'-lantern figures and a ghost; caption reads, "They were shocked to have met October coming out of the woods already."

It's the start of the 2026 Hallowmeme Countdown. 🎃
The "Back In My Day" Simpsons meme that usually shows Grampa regaling Springfield's younger residents, (who are all sat at his feet in a semi-circle), with tales of how things used to be. Grampa is now Captain McCallister, the kids are still the kids, but the daytime and rolling green hills have been replaced with a beach under starry skies. The wording at the top reads "JOHN CARPENTER'S THE FOG". I was going to replace the drink in the captain's hand with a pocket watch, but couldn't be arsed, so feel free to imagine it for yourselves.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

It's Monday! Let's start week off with a map & some eels! Here is John Speed's 1611 map, "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland." There are Dutch eel ships on this map. Can you find them? (the answer is at the end of the thread) Wait, you ask...WTF is an eel ship? 1/5 🗃️🧪
A map of of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. It is quite busy with roads, and towns, and counties. There are monsters in the sea, and several ships. There are 2 large insets, one showing the a view of the city of London and one showing the city of Edinburgh. There is a smaller inset above the Edinburgh one showing the northern tip of Scotland and the Orkneys. Above the inset for London is the coat of arms for the Order of the Garter, with a lion and unicorn. The arms have the order's motto around them: "honi soit qui mal y pense" (shame on him that thinks ill of it), and below it the popular Puritan phrase, "Semper Idem" (always the same). It is a very detailed and pretty map.

"Always the same" and "shame on him that thinks ill of it" is strident rejection of the Growth Mindset ideology, and I am here for it.
