On October 24, 1961, the quiet town of Lincoln, Massachusetts, became the center of a strange mystery that has been likened to the plot of "Gone Girl" when 31-year-old Joan Risch vanished from her home under inexplicable circumstances.

Joan lived with her husband, Martin, and their two young children. That morning, Martin had departed for a business trip to New York, leaving Joan to care for their 4-year-old daughter, Lillian, and 2-year-old son, David. The day began routinely, with Joan running errands and tending to her children. After putting David down for a nap, she sent Lillian to play at a neighbor’s house, unaware that this would be the last time anyone would see her under normal circumstances.

Later that day, Lillian returned home briefly before reappearing at the neighbor’s house in distress, crying that her mother was missing and that there was "red paint all over the kitchen." Alarmed, the neighbor rushed to the Risch home and quickly realized that what Lillian had described as paint was actually blood.

Investigators were called to the scene and discovered that the blood seemed to originate from a superficial wound. It was splattered across the kitchen, leading to a chilling trail that wound through the house, from David’s nursery to the kitchen, and out toward the car. There were signs that someone had attempted to clean up the blood, but no one had called for help—although the phone had been ripped from the wall, and the phone book was open to the emergency numbers page.

Authorities initially suspected an abduction, but the investigation soon took a strange turn. A neighbor reported seeing Joan earlier that day, outside her home, looking disoriented and running in the yard, possibly after one of her children. Meanwhile, motorists claimed to have seen a woman matching Joan’s description walking near a highway construction site with what appeared to be blood on her legs.

Even more puzzling was the discovery that Joan had recently checked out several library books on disappearances and murders, including one about a woman who faked her own disappearance, leaving behind blood to make the ruse more convincing.

These revelations led to a compelling theory: Joan, possibly dissatisfied with her life after leaving a publishing career in New York City, might have staged her own disappearance. However, this theory remains speculative, as no concrete evidence has surfaced to confirm it. Joan Risch was never found, and no one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance.

Yes, that random green-haired girl from ep 1 is related to the servants from Astreas. Plum is going to be the Witch from the Kingdom and cause another Great Calamity, calling it now.

Kaili Joy Gray at Daily Kos:

The Wall Street Journal published a seemingly damning story on Tuesday night about President Joe Biden’s diminishing mental acuity, with a headline guaranteed to cause panic: “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.” With a header like that, you might think the Journal really has the goods on Biden this time, with quotes from dozens of sources within the White House, likely speaking anonymously for fear of appearing to betray their boss with the damaging confessions about how he, in fact, is too old and unfit to be president for another term.

But no. Who does the Journal have? Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. And former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And Idaho Sen. James Risch, who is—as you might have guessed—a Republican. Contrary to its terrifying headline, what the Journal has is a blatant hit piece from Republicans who are shamelessly pushing the Republican talking point that Biden—who is only four years older than Donald Trump—is oh so very, very old. Concerningly so.

[...] Well, there was The New York Times, where the opinion pages were filled with hand-wringing about Biden’s age and how voters are so much more concerned about the 81-year-old president than his 77-year-old opponent.

The Wall Street Journal wrote a brazen hit piece attacking Joe Biden’s supposed diminishing mental acuity by citing Republican sources and ignoring Democrats who praised Biden.

Republican office holders are all Trump's bitches now.

The problem for them is that after Trump is gone, their self-abasing, grovelling, and humiliating comments will still be on the public record.

An unequivocal defeat for Trump would send the GOP into a vortex of chaos. That's even more of an incentive to make sure he's beaten.
