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

I read a reaction to a YouTuber who admitted to sexual assault that said something like “just goes to show, these people are strangers to us” and that’s true, but I think misses the mark about sexual assault. Which is to say, you 100% have friends or family members who have assaulted people.

Not totally the point, but remember when Newt Gingrich (or an affiliated pac) was running attack ads against Mitt Romney for speaking French, a language Newt Gingrich also speaks?

I have one last thought on Iced Coffee job interview discourse which is that I simply don’t believe you. If the iced coffee guy is clearly the best candidate I think you’ll hire them.

chess is too simple to serve as a background for gay sex: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position. hockey addresses these limitations.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Personally I think everyone should have a photograph of themselves looking skeptical in Marrakech from when they were in college that they colored over in MS Paint back when they first got twitter in like 2010.

It’s genuinely difficult to distinguish between what is foreign policy incompetence from the GOP and what is foreign policy malice, which I think is more damning than if it was clearly one or the other. Either way, you can’t be saying this.

There's a brief 60s X-Men plot where Jean leaves the team for college and has a normal guy boyfriend. He gets sorta forgotten about but I like to think years later Dark Phoenix is hovering over NY screaming that she is fire and life incarnate and he's like "oh that's crazy, I used to date that girl"

I’m not super worked up about whether I live in a bubble or not. But like I work with teens in Texas and I heard old town road all the time and I like country and I’m trying to listen to newly released music this year. So yeah it is weird to me that I have missed this one so far.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
A digital illustration based on a scene from the German Expressionist silent film Metropolis (1927). What we see is a robot woman seated in a chair, colored in gradated maroon shades. She's a shiny brass color in a sculptural art deco style staring implacably or incomprehendingly outward. Two sockets on either side of her head and many such other sockets on the chair have wires leading away out of frame. The background, colored in shades of blue is divided into radial sections with lightning bolt edges. (All these colors are purely notional as the source material is all black and white.)Around the chair and the robot are four sets of equally-spaced concentric triple rings or some sort of energy or electricity. Riding the top edges of these rings is jaggedy, electric lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

I’m sorry, but if you bring gypsum - or any damn mineral below 3 on the Mohs scale at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

I will say about this that if you are the kind of person who would bring an iced coffee to job interview, you wouldn’t want to work for the kind of boss for whom that is disqualifying. Maybe better for everybody. IDK.

"make AI companies financially/criminally liable for what their models do" seems like an underrated way to get them to take safety seriously that doesn't require much regulatory oversight from a shrunken and corrupt US government.

If “allow”-ing Donald Trump to “save face” is worthwhile goal (?) start the impeachment hearings and allow him to save face by firing people before they get impeached.

The only good reason not to impeach, at the very least Hegseth, is if nothing matters and we’re all gonna die anyway.
