business hammocks posted:Batman actually engineered a coup in order to stop an entire country of child pornographers: I've actually read that book, it's interesting since the author is a child protection advocate and you can tell he's really passionate about his cause. I mean, it's not the best written but at least the author has decent intentions which more then what I expect from a novel based on a comic book.

Slowly dying of a radiation poisoning in a repurposed furniture store is peak NuclearWar.txtquote:While government officials would have been rushed by helicopter to Mount Weather, FEMA also devoted extensive planning in the 1980s to scout where the civilian population would live after a nuclear attack, embarking on a top-secret effort with the FBI known as Project 908 (or “Nine Naught Eight,” as it was called) to map the nation’s commercial buildings for possible refugee resettlement—all part of a larger 1980s program, known as Crisis Relocation Planning, that calculated how to evacuate the nation’s major cities. https://www.wired.com/story/the-secret-history-of-fema/

I do have to wonder if the idea of American PoWs ending up in the USSR after WW2 or kor a holds any water. https://mobile.nytimes.com/1996/07/19/world/decades-later-tales-of-americans-in-soviet-jails.html The Times cites a Rand report from 1994. (Here for free https://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR351z2.html ) but I wonder if any more recent research revealed anything.

Celery Face posted:Back in 1974, a young woman was found murdered in the Stanford University campus church with an ice pick embedded in the back of her head and a three foot long candlestick in her vagina. There have been a shitton of speculation throughout the years, ranging from a satanic cult being involved to her husband (unrelated but he later became a psychologist who worked with traumatized children) or a flutist who was seen in the church on the night of her murder. The truth is far simpler. Earlier this week, a more advanced DNA test proved that the murderer was the campus security guard who discovered her body. Unfortunately(?), he killed himself when the cops showed up to arrest him. Wasn’t there a goon who knew her?

Oh hey, it was recently the anniversary of the crash of TWA flight 800, one of the most horrifying plane crashes on record. A short circuit caused an explosion in mid air which severed the cockpit and first class from the rest of the plane the rest of the plane continued to ascend for 30 seconds before crashing downwards into the ocean a minute later. The passengers were conscious and alert the entire time. https://m.imgur.com/a/d2jg1

One More Fat Nerd posted:After the DSA conference thing got into the news a while back (i dont know enough about what happened to say if the reaction online was overblown or not), i saw quite a few people online (here and twitter) with interesting perspectives on situations like this. Apparently groups with a focus on intersectionality and accessibility have a strong appeal to Narcissists, so those groups have to stringently self police for bad actors. This gets more and more difficult to do, the larger the group is. That’s a really good question. I know Koinonia Farm’s been going ok more or less but no idea how they and others like them manage to keep it up. https://www.topic.com/the-75-year-and-counting-christian-interracial-farm-experiment

Pvt.Scott posted:This reminded me of that kerfuffle a few years back where a black man suspected of a crime had his picture on the news. He was shirtless and maybe something else, but it was argued that the picture had been chosen to prejudice the public against him, and surely there were more neutral photos to use. His Facebook profile pic was him in a hoodie, mean-mugging, pointing a gun at the camera. Anthony Stokes?  Also, gently caress the “charming and noble(!?)” serial killer trope.

Even among the pantheon of villains that were his contemporaries, Doihara stands out as a particularly loathsome individual. His rise to infamy began with tricking his 15-year-old sister into posing nude for some photographs. Armed with the developed pictures, the loving brother touted them to a Japanese imperial prince who was so impressed he made her his number one concubine. In return for this favour, Doihara was posted as an assistant to General Honjo, military attaché to Peking...  Imperial Japan only uses the most wonderful people

Paul Powell was a racist pedo rapist who attempted to rape and then murdered his neighbor and actually raped and nearly murdered her sister after he found out she had a black boyfriend. He was an utterly odious person and boasted about his crime in prison along with mailing mocking letters to the victims mother. He was sentenced to death but the Virginia Supreme Court overturned his death sentence on the ground that there was no proof that he attempted to rape the girl he killed. Well, there was no proof until Powell decided to write a letter to the prosecutor gloating about the overturned death penalty. quote:” “Mr. Ebert, Unfortunately for Powell he misunderstood the law and with his confession in such graphic detail he was resentenced to death and executed a few years later.

A few years back I read a article collecting survivor accounts from Cordova ,Alabama after it was hit by two tornadoes twice in one day in 2011. I remember one was from someone in the city hall basement who saw someone in the doorway get sucked out. Unfortunately Google isn’t helping and I can’t for the life of me remember where I read it. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
