In the 1985 Doctor Who serial Vengeance on Varos, an authoritarian regime run by a weak man keeps the downtrodden population in line by broadcasting public executions to distract from the fact that it has tanked the economy through a combination of incompetence, arrogance and institutional cruelty.

I dunno, there are a lot of bible stories where he did some pretty sketchy stuff. A secret bribe seems possible.

I don’t believe that was God talking to the CEO. I doubt that even he believes it, because the whole story sounds made up.

Yes, the state capitol building has a few underground levels in the old building, and the entire extension (built in the 80s) is completely underground.

People who get so angry about having to share the road need to have their licenses revoked. Let them walk or take public transit. They’re too dangerous behind the wheel.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing.

Biden took over during the COVID response where prices were low because nobody was buying anything or going anywhere. The economic stimulus to restart the economy caused a temporary spike in inflation but also greatly reduced the problems caused by demand collapsing the pandemic.

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

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

Having read the book, it would have been pretty difficult to turn into a movie. Spielberg has some talent in film adaptations, but maybe he couldn’t make this one work, even though he got so far as casting it. I think the Michael Bay version if it’s ever filmed will be vastly different.
