They JUST caught one of this country’s biggest all-time rapists and serial killers over forty years after his rampaging
It was suspected even back then that he may have been a cop, and it was noted that he had a knack for evading his victim’s guard dogs.
And it turns out he was indeed a cop, who was fired from his cop job mid-way through this murder spree, because he was caught shoplifting dog repellent.
NOBODY investigated that any further at the time??
It’s also worth pointing out that Michelle McNamara’s book about the Golden State Killer, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, just came out recently. Michelle researched tirelessly to investigate this serial rapist and murderer, and after her death, her husband (Patton Oswalt) made sure her work was published.
It is NO COINCIDENCE that the surge of interest in this case, and the ultimate action and arrest by the police is due entirely to Michelle’s work. And the police refuse to acknowledge it. They are patting themselves on the back for finding and catching this man when it’s clear that they sat on evidence implicating him for years – because he was a cop.
Patton has said (via twitter) that Michelle was not interested in fame or glory – that she would just be so proud to see this man finally being caught and made to pay for his crimes. But I think it’s worth acknowledging her work. (and, as Patton pointed out, the police are now using the name she coined for this killer – but, you know, she had ‘nothing to do with it’ 9_9)
Once again it’s women to the rescue for the Star Trek fandom😍

@drfitzmonster THE EVIL HAS BEEN DEFEATED! Tarantino is NOT directing the next Star Trek film
It sounds like Tarantino is still working on a Star Trek related project, it’ll just come out after Star Trek 4
If I could ask only one thing of the community, it would be that we stop arguing over what ‘bi’ and ‘pan’ mean. they can have heavy overlap – they can have the same fucking meaning, even – and still both be valid identifiers. I identify as bi but others might have the same attraction experiences as me and identify as pan. it’s fine! they are both fine! can we stop arguing about this please? especially people who are neither bi nor pan???
Rain on your wedding day is NOT ironic. Ironic would be moving the wedding indoors because it’s supposed to rain and having the sprinkler system malfunction and turn on; meanwhile it never actually rains outside.
