#FionaDavis is known for taking a landmark in #NewYorkCity and weaving an #historicalfiction tale around it. Her latest book, #TheSpectacular, is just that. It's about #RadioCityMusicHall, home of the #Rockettes. Part #history, part #Mystery #Bookreview
New York City, 1956: Nineteen-year-old Marion is over the moon to have been selected to be one of the Rockettes, Radio City Music Hall’s glamorous precision-dancing troupe. It’s an honor to perform in the world’s most spectacular theater, an art deco masterpiece. But with four shows a day as well as grueling rehearsals, not to mention exacting standards of perfection to live up to, Marion quickly…

Between 2015-2018, police looked into the deaths of over four hundred cats in London attributed to the Croydon Cat Killer. Having spent over £130,000 investigating, they concluded foxes and road accidents were the primary culprits.
At one point, the police issue a suspect description of a white man in his forties, with short brown hair, with possible pockmarked acne scars and dark hooded clothing. He was said to have no discernible accent. Psychological profiling also emphasised how the Cat Killer was murdering for personal gratification, perhaps due to trauma in his past.
Andy Collins, police detective: "Cats are targeted because they are associated with the feminine - the killer can't deal with a woman or women who are troubling him. The concern we have is that if it isn't a particular person - who will be at some risk eventually - then at some stage he'll escalate or feel brave enough to move on to vulnerable women and girls, either elderly or very young women.”
Pippa Gregory: “Your offender is getting gratification for what he is doing, and it’s a question of how long does that gratification last. That’s where the danger comes.”
Dr Caoimhe McAnena: “It’s safe to say it’s unlikely to be someone with a fulfilling social life, a happy relationship and would seem to me to be sometime with deep seated psychological disturbances and needs and they’re meeting that in a very extreme and very unusual way.”
Dr Adam Lynes said the Cat Killer was "enjoying the cruelty and pain caused during the deaths.” "Some serial murderers are like addicts. They are hooked on killing and can't get enough. The recent spike in cat deaths in Croydon suggests that is the case here. The more they kill, the more they want to kill. Unless the person responsible is caught soon, I think it's very likely they will continue to kill more cats - and they could even make the leap to attacking humans."

Mildly Autistic Super detectives….troupe
(Asking as an Autistic.) Anyone know any facts that go with this?
Are there any Autistics that are genuinely good at investigating serial murders?
or is this all just due to Sherlock holmes?

Omggggg I'm in love w your teen Bruce au!!! Do you have any teen!Bruce and Duke thoughts? Or how teen Bruce would interact w Hal? I'm ahshshshd
OOo, I think Duke would be a bit of an enigma for a teen bruce; He's a nice boy. That's why Bruce is inclined to believe there's something seriously wrong with him.
" What's the ultimate goal here?"
" Are you asking because you want to know, or because you're looking to burn bridges? Cause that doesn't work on me."
Secondly. He doesn't take any of his shit.
" Yeah, you're not really the angry type," Bruce likes the hatch; perfect place to read psychology reports on yourself, if he has to say so himself.
Let no one say Duke isn't accurate,
" Very nice dissection of me, by the way. Self-esteem deficiency, self serving, -- I've never been called a hyperbolic altruist before. That's new."
Duke shrugs, " I learn as I go."
" I think you forgot stupid."
" I don't believe in that."
" Of course you don't," his mouth tugs upwards, just slightly, " seriously, thought. Why protect this city? What's the gain here?"
"The same reason you do It. "
" What? Love?" Bruce snorts, " No one protects their parents' killer out of love. You think I do this cause I'm good? I do it because I'm angry. "
" Gotham killed your parents. Not mine. It's never been about the city. It's about people. I'm not going to be bullied into not caring about people. Because you refuse to do that."
"A whole lot of good that did. I have a fucked up boxing match I'm destined to lose until I snap, and 7 kids who hate me."
" We don't hate you. You hate you."
He can't argue with that.

Deduction Tips #16
The size of a bag is indicative of how much a person needs to carry, and usually we prefer to carry less things. When you see someone with a bag (be it a backpack, a purse, or anything else) think about why this person needs a bigger one rather than a smaller one, and what that says about the contents of the bag and the situation of the person carrying it

What brought you to bring your book on heads? I just finished Stiff by Mary Roach, and it’s super cool to see someone interested in the same stuff!
I’m just starting on Over My Dead Body by Greg Melville, which you may like - it seems like it will cover a lot of the same questions about the meaning behind the different ways we treat human remains
i've always been fascinated by death, i think partly because it's always been a strong presence and influence in my life (even my birth was heavily surrounded by the shadow of death and there was no certainty that i would make it), and partly because i've always gravitated towards things that other people turn away from, to the taboo and the macabre and the horrifying, because i don't want other people's judgements to inform my opinions on and understanding of something without getting any firsthand perspective, because i find that hypocritical and impossible to justify to myself, and because i know how it feels to be misjudged and shunned and told that it's just because you're inherently offputting and wrong. i have this insatiable need to know things and an obsession with trying to understand what compels people to behave and think and feel the way they do. it's never enough for me just to accept what i'm told about something and not question or examine it at all. also i'm just a little bit of a sicko who likes weird freaky shit and gets a thrill out of treading the fine line between disgust and excitement and testing my personal boundaries.
and i guess death is something i'm particularly drawn to because it's the ultimate combination of the taboo and the unknowable. it's an extremely personal, polarizing and influential part of life, society and culture. there's just so much there to study and question and interpret and it's continuously evolving, and its inevitability and significance in our lives means that will always continue to be the case. death is also very influential in all of my favorite subjects - english literature, history, psychology, and philosophy - so it overlaps with a lot of my other interests.
stiff by mary roach was actually one of the first books that got me hooked on reading more about death, dead bodies and dying, actually! also ask a mortician on youtube, and to be honest, the tumblr bone stealing scandals. autonomy, consent and self control are very important to me, and being denied them is something i personally find especially horrifying, so when confronted by the realization that the dead are especially vulnerable in that regard, and the ethical debates as to what is an acceptable way to treat the body after death, i became obsessed with learning as much as possible. i wanted to master my fear rather than letting it control me.
thanks for the book rec! that sounds really relevant to my interests ^_^

HEADCANON TIME: Crosshair's inhibitor chip.
I've seen a lot of theories that Crosshair's chip is actually still in his head. That he is still affected by it, and since the end of the S1 he was dealing with the consequences of chip malfunctioning.
Okay, but... Imagine how much worse it would be if the chip was actually removed.
His chip was removed after the mission on Bracca: at first, the Kaminoans were worried that the resulting injuries could affect the effectivity of the chip; secondly, they wanted to do a valid experiment with their own hands - after all, both clones that underwent the removal of the chip were dead, and both operations were carried out unauthorized.
And after removing the chip, Crosshair faced all the consequences of this experiment.
The insomnia that haunts him from that moment on is an operational complication, because despite all the available data, equipment and experience, the operation still carried risks in his condition. And this insomnia has not left him since that moment. It will not disappear if something is cut out of his head, because everything is already cut out.
His mind was free again, but at what cost? When first activated, the chip genuinely made him believe in the need to follow the order, but left him with some free will. But after enhancing the chip on Kamino Cross was literally locked in his own head. He was a tool in the hands of the Empire, whose hands brought order through pain, and he could not do anything about it. After the chip was removed, he again became "himself", but the memory of the time when he was not in control of himself did not disappear anywhere. And every night, when he manages to fall asleep, he will wake up from these memories: from Depa's heart-rending scream during Order 66, from the screams of civilians in the camp on Onderon, from all the blood that was on his hands. He will be forced to live with the knowledge that the shed of this blood will forever remain on his hands.
And he tried to force his brothers to join the Empire not because he was sacredly loyal to the command and the new alignment of forces. He just knew that at least that way they wouldn't be on opposite sides of the barricades, and he had a vague hope that at least that way he wouldn't have to become their enemy again.
And all the mistakes, all the choices made after Bracca, are his own mistakes and choices. Not the chip. Not the Empire. His own.
And he will have to live with this thought until the very end.

When it comes to the observation weeks in the training program. Could you elaborate on why we shouldn’t deduce then? Is it only about the time when we are doing the exercises?
Hello! great question, i gotta say i didn't write that program, but i did follow it, so i can only give you an answer based on my experience with it and with deduction as a whole. Unfortunately L isn't available to give you the original reason, but if i get in contact with them i'll make a post with their answer.
So, there's this quote from Sherlock which sums up the reasoning behind this very clearly:
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."
During this stage of the program it is assumed you're coming into deduction as a complete beginner, and therefore that you haven't honed your observation skills yet. This means you'll inevitably be at a point where if you try to deduce you'll be doing so while missing a large amount of information, and fall into the trap of not knowing you're missing information and trying to work with what you have, which leads to often taking big leaps in reasoning to reach conclusions, because you don't have enough data to work with.
This is also why when i teach people i make sure they're at an acceptable level in their observation skills before i move onto other stuff. Later on in the process you learn how to make the most out of a situation where you have little to no information to deduce from. But that's a bit too complicated for a beginner, so it's important that they don't try to deduce until they have a solid grasp on what information they can gather
Aditionally, the training program, as incomplete as it may be, attempts to separate the process of learning deduction into manageable chunks. That program was written during a time where the community was much bigger and everyone attempting to find some way of learning this skill. Everyone was coming up with solutions to their problems and sharing them in the community, and that program is an attempt to solve the overwhelming feeling that comes with trying to learn a massive skill with multiple possible points of entry. It segments it into manageable, organized chunks for people to have a neat way of getting started with deduction, and one of those chunks is just observation, since it's complex enough of a base skill to have its own section

Out of my never ending curiosity when it comes to Kai Hiwatari, I searched for his name on that AI chat thing. And it got so awkward during the first minute, it wasn't even 10 sentences and the bot already asked if I had a boyfriend. There are two more bots and I want to try them too, but the one I did talk to was so OOC... (I don't believe Kai would ask anyone to be his girlfriend that fast. No way in hell. I would have a much easier time writing all of my fanfics if he did.)
Update: I made the other bot blush with my 3rd response
Update 2: the last bot was the most challenging but I still managed to break it and make it be nice to me. Summary: AI Kais start acting OOC as soon as relationships are involved.
