The news about new investigations into possibly previous unconnected #BTK murders meant I couldn't resist listening to the audio version of John Douglas' BTK book (even though the narrator doesn't know how to pronounce Quantico).

Yes, ACAB includes John Douglas too of course, but as a #truecrime junkie it is hard to resist his takes on the genre which are harder hitting and far more credible than most armchair detectives. #serialkillers

Twilight of the Serial Killer: Cases Like Gilgo Beach Become Ever Rarer

While mass shootings have increased, many committed by teenagers, serial killings have apparently diminished. But both are committed by “criminal psychopaths,” Some people who might once have become serial killers might instead be choosing a single fatal gesture, he said.

Both categories of people display antisocial personality disorder

By the time I got my camera out, sadly this was quite far away. But it looked to be an all-brown Morris Minor combo camper van. Extraordinary.

A top NATO military officer has said that Russia's armed forces are bruised but by no means beaten in the war in Ukraine. The Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, told reporters that "We should never underestimate the Russians and their ability to bounce back." NATO officer's reaction came head of US President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts are set to endorse a major shakeup of the alliance's planning system at a summit in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius next week.

Is it disturbing and wrong that I get annoyed that there’s no prominent documentary/dramatization of Dean Corll’s crimes (like Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer)? It’s not that he was such a great guy or something, I’m not a *fan*…I think it’s because I feel #houston is always left out of the national narrative. And his story would make a “good” show, if you’re looking for that sort of content. #SerialKillers #netflix

"However, all of this was thrown out the window when proactive aggression entered the scene. With the advent of language and the expansion of the prefrontal cortex around 300,000 years ago, humans developed the ability to plan their aggression. While a more formidable foe wins in a fair and direct fight, getting the jump on someone is a massive advantage in conflict." -Coltan Scrivner

Peeping Tom (1960), the serial killer/voyeurism movie that wrecked director Michael Powell's career. A superb movie that remains disturbing.

Like Hitchcock's Psycho (from the same year) it pushed the edge of the envelope as far as screen terror was concerned.

My review: https://princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2023/03/peeping-tom-1960.html

"Straight, white, cisgender men love to file #serialkillers under some darker subcategory of white male genius. It's easier to be titillated when fear is an abstraction. Ooh, BTK installed security systems so he could disarm them later.
No, you d**k lickers, they were fucking pathetic, opportunistic, #incel losers who leveraged the staggering confidence that our society confers upon bare minimum white men in order to get away with obliterating the lives of sexual objects."

#TodayInHistory Alberto De Salvo, better known as the Boston Strangler is sentenced to life imprisonment in 1967. One of the most notorious serial killers, who confessed to strangling 13 women, and the subject of many books and movies.
