Milestone Monday

On this day, April 3 in 1895, the trial in the libel case brought by Oscar Wilde began, ultimately resulting in his imprisonment on charges of homosexuality. Wilde brought the suit against the Marquess of Queensberry who, angered by Wilde’s apparent ongoing homosexual relationship with the Marquess’s son Alfred Douglas, had publicly accused Wilde of sodomy. Wilde dropped the suit, however, after being confronted by the possibility of witnesses who could potentially prove the Marquess’s accusation. After winning a counterclaim against Wilde that left the writer bankrupt, the Marquess of Queensberry then presented evidence against him, and on April 6, 1895 Wilde was arrested on charges of "gross indecency," a coded term for homosexual acts. He was convicted on May 25, 1895 and sentenced to two years hard labor. Much of his sentence was spent at Reading Gaol, where he was addressed and identified only as "C.3.3" – the occupant of the third cell on the third floor of C ward. The harsh incarceration broke his health and eventually led to his death in 1900.

After his release, Wilde wrote the long poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol, which was published in London by Leonard Smithers on February 13,1898 under the name "C.3.3." While in prison, Wilde wrote a long letter to Alfred Douglas that was not delivered. It recounts their relationship and extravagant lifestyle, as well as Wilde’s spiritual transformation during his imprisonment. Wilde entrusted the manuscript to his loyal friend and sometimes-lover Robert Ross, who had it published after Wilde’s death by Methuen and Co. in 1905, giving it the title "De Profundis" (”Out of the depths”) from Psalm 130.

To commemorate this milestone, we present the title page from our first edition copy of The Ballad of Reading Gaol, limited to an edition of 800 copies on handmade paper; the title page and cover of our first edition of De Profundis, with the gilt device of a bird leaving a circle of bars designed by Wilde’s friend Charles Ricketts; and illustrations by the designer and artist John Vassos for an illustrated edition of The Ballad of Reading Gaol published in New York by E. P. Dutton & Co. in 1928.

i wonder if, had they continued the series and had they covered the Green River murders, would they have inflicted Douglas's near-death at the hands of encephalitis on Holden or was the development of a panic disorder effectively their substitution

When a Killer Calls by John Douglas & Mark Olshaker 5/5 ⭐️

Wow, this was a really good non-fic, true crime book. I loved John Douglas’ narration of the internal work within the FBI and his criminal profiling team, to the inside look of what was happening in the homes of the two victims, and the integral role the grieving Smith played to catching the killer. Seeing justice served is always so bittersweet - as stated in the book, wounds can heal but the scars remain. It was good to see how faith and religion helped the Smith family heal. It renews my faith in our legal system and the support of communities. The story rings with the truth that all wrong deeds done, eventually and inevitably, be held accountable.

MindHunter - John Douglas 🩸

The post Former Van Halen Bassist Michael Anthony Forms New Band with Members of Bon Jovi, Aerosmith appeared first on Consequence.

Ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony has revealed that he’s formed a new band with Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X and current Aerosmith touring drummer John Douglas. There’s also a “really cool singer” on board, but Anthony is choosing to keep that a mystery for now.

Anthony, who’s currently the bassist for Sammy Hagar and The Circle, opened up about the project in a new interview on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk. When asked about his career trajectory if Hagar were to retire from performing, Anthony let the cat out of the bag.

“Well, I wasn’t going to mention anything about it,” Anthony said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth], “but there is a little side project thing that I’ve kind of been speaking to some people, and might be doing a couple of things with. I don’t wanna get ahead of myself and mention too much, but it might involve Phil X and John Douglas.”

Anthony elaborated: “I’ve known J.D. for many years, since he’s worked with Van Halen… What a great guy. And we do have a singer. I don’t wanna mention any names, but a really, really cool singer. And we’re recording just for fun right now, some stuff. That’s all I can say.”

Anthony appeared on SiriusXM to promote the Save the Heartbeat benefit concert on Saturday (March 25th) at Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California. The bassist is set to perform along with Phil X, Hagar, and John 5, among others.

Aside from working with Hagar, Anthony has remained estranged from the Van Halen camp for years, having not been invited on the band’s reunion tour with David Lee Roth in 2007 and being subsequently replaced by Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang on bass.

A prospective Van Halen tribute tour was slated to feature ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, though the lineup never came to fruition. Adding fuel to speculation, Roth posted his ideal Van Halen tribute lineup, which happened to include Newsted and Anthony.

El Arte del Boxeo: Historia, Evolución y Maestría en el Ring

El boxeo puede parecer un deporte extremo, pero las reglas lo mantienen dentro de lo civilizado… la mayoría de las veces. A muchos no les convence la idea de ver a dos personas golpeándose en un ring, y algunos ni siquiera lo consideran un deporte. Pero lo es, y no solo eso: es mucho más antiguo de lo que imaginas. Los griegos fueron unos de los primeros en formalizarlo, aunque su versión era un…

January 1947. If the cover of PLANET COMICS #46 isn't directly related to any of the stories inside, it does nonetheless capture the vibe. Here's a sample of a story from that issue, a chapter of the Futura serial by John Douglas and Chester Martin.

So, for my birthday, I asked my parents for a Masterclass subscription to learn from the likes of @neil-gaiman , Margaret Atwood, and more.

I have it now, (yay!) and I'm scrolling through classes to add to my list, and I find John Douglas' "How to Think Like an FBI Profiler."

Hehe, I may skim this one ASAP, just to help writing Will Graham. 🤣 with possible deeper looks later, cause help understanding people would be nice!

”#never change darling, #bisexual disaster watson, #he's dead dear don't get a crush on him now”

Douglas was a remarkable man, both in character and in person. In age he may have been about fifty, with a strong-jawed, rugged face, a grizzling moustache, peculiarly keen gray eyes, and a wiry, vigorous figure which had lost nothing of the strength and activity of youth.

Watson: it is so important I tell you how attractive this murdered man was
