The Norwegian spiral anomaly of 2009 appeared in the night sky over Norway. It was visible from, and photographed from, northern Norway and Sweden. The spiral consisted of a blue beam of light with a greyish spiral emanating from one end of it.ping in mid-air, and starting to spiral outwards. A similar, though less spectacular event had also occurred in Norway the month before. The phenomena is still unexplained as of today.

Alright, this one is for all the people who read my 'spatula' and 'roommate emergency' posts. Because if you suffered trough those long whiny posts you deserve to know the insane continuation/ending to the story. Warning for high levels of drama and plot twists. Under cut because long.

So, after all of the emergency and spatula debakl, I was starting to feel slightly less warm to my roommate; not enough to be mean, but I decided to focus on my own stuff and not give her as much attention. We were still saying hi and casually chatting, but I wouldn't take food if she offered. She bought some fruit juice and told me to drink it, and I didn't wanna be mean so I just said 'you should drink it too', and ignored it. I will not be mollified with some fruit juice.

I felt happier focusing on myself, but I also started to get a little anxious, because what if the roommate gets mad at me, and then moves out? And then I thought, wait, that's an insane thought. Nobody moves out of a place because their roommate is a bit withdrawn and depressed, and doesn't give them tons of attention. Besides, I haven't done anything ever to cause her harm or distress, I'm just living my life and leaving her to hers. I'm fine.

So yesterday late evening, I went to the bathroom and noticed all of her shampoos and shower gels were missing, and immediately got worried about it. Why would she remove all her bathroom stuff, unless she is actually moving out? But she never said anything. It was already so late at night, I couldn't go bother her about it. It was 11 pm. I tried to not worry about it and fall asleep, but I couldn't. Thinking how maybe she's moving out, and then I'd be alone looking for a roommate in January when the bills are the worst, filled me with anxiety. How would I pay my rent? I heard her then, leaving her room and going into the bathroom. I made a split-second decision to get up and confront her about it. I needed to be sure.

I caught her in the hallway, and asked 'Hey, I saw you took all of your shampoos, are you leaving? If you're leaving I need to know.' She smiled at me and then reassured me that if she was leaving, she'd tell me. She then showed to me how a lot of her hair started falling out, and she thinks it's because of the shampoo, so she threw it away and now needs a new one. Oh okay, I thought, that's a relief. I told her thanks for explaining, and how I got so worried I couldn't sleep. She laughed at me for being silly and worrying, and I grumbled 'don't laugh at me' as I went back to my room and wished her a good night. She seemed so happy I talked to her, probably because I wasn't initiating any conversations lately.

Next morning, I woke up sad, so I was moping in my room, and at one point she stopped by my room asking if I was okay, and if I'm going to work. I replied weakly that I was fine (I wasn't, I was kinda sobbing and forgot my room door was open) and that I didn't have work that day. She said okay. I heard her leave.

After I calmed down from my sadness, I realized I needed to contact her employer, because she was supposed to pay her share of the bills, and even though I reminded her two days ago, she forgot, and I needed that money. I hate bothering people about money, so I just sent a little 'how about today?' message thinking that was friendly enough. Her employer responded with 'sure I'll send you the money via [roommate name], she still isn't at work.' I responded with 'she left, she should be there soon'.

And then I thought, maybe I was wrong when I heard her leave, so I got up, knocked on her door, and said her name to check if she was still there. No response. I pushed the door open.

My heart sank to the bottom of my feet.

The room was empty. The bed was empty. There was a mess on the floor but mostly trash. Her things were gone. Her clothes were gone. The key to the apartment was on the table.

I was immediately stricken with shock, and the realization that she lied to me yesterday, when I anxiously asked if she was leaving, she smiled and reassured me that she wasn't leaving while she was already packing her bags! But why?

I panicked then, thinking what I should do next. Was she okay? Was she safe? Did she go to a friend's place? Should I call her employer and check if she still went to work? But that's probably not what the roommate wanted, I needed to find her and ask her why, and what to tell to her employer, because I didn't know the right answer. I grabbed my bike and headed outside and tried to find her in the city.

No luck. After half an hour I understood too much time has passed, she could have been anywhere. She's left and cannot be found. I couldn't call her, because her phone doesn't have a real SIM card so calls don't work. I relented and called her employer to check if she was at work, and to try and find out what happened.

I needed to be calculated in order to get any kind of information, so I called and said 'Hi, just checking if [roommate's name] got to work safely?' And employer says 'No, she's still not at work'. So I go 'Did something happen yesterday? Something is wrong'.

Her employer was extremely evasive on what exactly happened. She started listing events like 'she wouldn't clean the windows, we had a media day yesterday and she had to talk to the cameras, she got mad about something, said she didn't want to work, that her head hurts, but wouldn't sign the form saying she's quitting, then she changed her mind and asked for a free day, but she already had two free days, she was unreasonable' it was a mumble-jumble of events I couldn't put together right. And then I finally told her that [roommate's name] is gone. She took her things and left the key. The employer didn't even seem that shocked. I was still in shock. I asked her to call me if she managed to get in contact.

I was still struggling to accept just what had happened. I then remembered that even though we never used it, at one point I added her on facebook, and maybe this could be our point of contact. I wanted to talk to her just one last time, to find out what happened at work that forced her to leave, and to say goodbye. I couldn't accept that she is just gone after all that, with no explanation, no goodbye.

I went to the park, connected to the internet and frevently searched for the little icon in my messenger. I found her. I sent her a message saying 'Hey, please tell me why you left. I won't bother you, I just need to know why.'

No response. She was online. I knew she saw it. But nothing.

I couldn't accept it. I tried calling her on facebook. She immediately blocked me.

I was left staring at my phone in disbelief. This was it. This was all I would ever get for closure. I'd never find out what had happened. Not from her employer, and not from her.

I felt heartbroken but at the same time had no time to deal with the emotional impact, because I had incoming panic about rent and bills! Her employer would definitely not want to pay her dues now that she was not even living there anymore, and I needed a roommate to stay afloat. Then I remembered, there was one person who viewed the apartment a month ago and wanted to move in, but wanted a solitary room – maybe she'd be interested in it still, since solitary room was now free.

I took my luck and called the woman. After I'd explained who I was and why I was calling, she was delighted. 'I thought about you every day!' she said excitedly. As a lesbian, I love a woman saying that to me, but, it was not the time. She's a 60yo divorced straight lady and I have to keep it together. She said she would move in tomorrow evening, and I said okay, not believing her fully because honestly who can you believe? 'I would tell you if I was leaving' was still ringing in my ears.

I knew now what I needed to do. Go home and... clean out the apartment.

It was as sad as you can imagine. I had to take down the christmas decorations that we had put up together, because the new person would surely find it odd to see a christmas tree at the end of January, and I just think it's nice so why take it down. I had to go clean out roommate's room, which had a fair amount of trash in it, and I realized, some stuff from her work, the key to her workplace, her working clothes. I understood I'd have to return those to her employer, who later called me to ask about it. I said I would bring it immediately.

Her employer wanted to talk to me, but only to convince me that the roommate was a lazy, messy, unmotivated and disobedient slob, which I didn't believe. I knew this lady was abusive and mean to my roommate and likely the reason roommate left. She was trying to paint my roommate as the villain so badly because she wanted to cover up her own abuse. I didn't believe any of it and I left. She didn't give me any money for bills. She promised to give it later.

I went home, and continued with my cleaning journey. I found some interesting things my roommate left behind. She left some random food items, like some oil and pasta, and then one transparent produce bag filled with something white. Rice, I thought? It was salt. Then, while clearing out her table, I found 3 pens, and realized all three were mine. Later I found a 4th pen, also mine. There was also some stationary paper from my desk. This explained why I could no longer find a pen in my room, they were all somehow ending up here. But I never invited her to just take my pens? It seems that every time she needed to write something down, she'd take a different pen from my desk, and never returned any. Well, that's not a horrible crime, I thought, it's just pens. None of them worked anymore, even though I made sure to only keep working pens on my desk.

I thought about what her employer said, about her being messy and leaving stuff everywhere, and even though I argued back and said to her my roommate was nice, some of it didn't feel so true anymore. She was leaving stuff everywhere, and created lots of messes. The first week she arrived we cleaned together, but that was the last time she cleaned. Every other time it was me cleaning alone. And she would sometimes spill stuff on the floor, or on the stovetop, and leave it. Or leave all counters cluttered to the point where I had to move her stuff before using them. But I thought she was just too busy to pay attention to things like that. Then while cleaning I found one of my fanciest kitchen cloths, with several holes burned trough it. That is a bit too chaotic, I thought. Why must you burn my cloth?

I was riddled with a lack of understanding of what happened; how could she have been here in the morning, talked to me like everything was okay, and now I will never see her again in my life, and never know why? Why would she do that? I have in the past, helped roommates flee from abusive situations, and if they had to quickly move, I would help them pack, lie to their abusers for them, hide their stuff they couldn't take with, so they could come get it later. Why would she find me unsafe to tell the truth to? I would have helped. I would have told her employer whatever she wanted me to. I've been on her side and advocating for her from the start. I convinced the employer when she was sick to let her off work, I held her hand when her eyes were sick, I bought her medicine, I offered to go anywhere and everywhere with her to translate and speak on her behalf when she needed anything. It couldn't have been just because I was moody and sad for a few days. I couldn't understand it.

The only reasons I could think of why she did that, was either she was worried I'd be mad she's leaving, worried I'd try to stop or follow her (which I wouldn't), or someone else instructed her on what to do and they spelled out to her to tell nobody.

The lady who wanted to move in called me again, and said she actually wanted to come and sleep here the same evening, and I now only had a few hours to clean everything out. I was exhausted, shaken, emotioanlly in shambles. But I washed all the windows, cleaned the fridge, washed the furniture and the floor, changed all the decor, put my spare cover and fresh bedding in the other room so the new roommate could sleep there without having to buy anything. The new lady has a list of red flags on her too; some of her behaviour is what I wouldn't want in a roommate, however, what choice do I have. I welcomed her, made her tea, explained all the rules, and then witdrew to my room to eat some peanut butter because I had forgotten to eat all day due to stress and shock.

And then I wrote this down! It's still the same day as I'm writing it. I talked to my roommate in the morning and now a new person I don't know is in that room, and I'm still stunned. What on earth happened today? I still want a phone call with an explanation. I didn't deserve to be left like that. I can't make out what to think of her now, this has never happened to me before. I had people leave on short notice, but never secretly, never while lying to me about what they're doing.

I still feel like she'll come here any second! Like I'll hear her voice again saying hi and how are you. But I never will again. It feels so weird. I'm both sad and relieved. She must be in a better place, far from her employer and with her friends who understand her and can help her find a better job. I'm relieved she's probably safer. But I'm sad about not getting a goodbye. Sad about being blocked, when all I wanted was an explanation. Sad about 'I would tell you if I was leaving'. How many times in life do you get anxious, then reassured that you're worrying for nothing, but then the anxiety turns out to be correct and the person purposefully lied? That doesn't bode well for future references.

I can't figure out if she was a nice person, and there were good reasons warranting her leaving like this, or whether I just misjudged her.

So yeah, unsatisfying as it is, this is the end of my Nepali roommate era, we sure had,,, times, and it sure did, end. I would like to apply for the drama free life from now on please.

DOGMAN

The Dogman is a cryptid that has been reported primarily in the United States, particularly in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other parts of the Midwest. It is described as a bipedal, wolf-like creature with the body of a man and the head of a dog or wolf. Here are some detailed points about the Dogman: 

Origins and History: The legend of the Dogman dates back to Native American folklore, but it gained widespread attention in the late 20th century. One of the earliest modern reports came from Michigan in 1887. The story was popularized by a song called "The Legend" by Steve Cook, which aired on a Michigan radio station in 1987.

Physical Description: Witnesses describe the Dogman as standing around 6 to 7 feet tall, with a muscular build and covered in fur. Its eyes are often reported to glow, and it has sharp teeth and claws. The creature is said to walk on two legs, though it can also run on all fours.

Behavior and Sightings: Sightings of the Dogman often describe it as a nocturnal creature that is elusive and shy, yet potentially aggressive if provoked. Many encounters occur in rural or forested areas. Witnesses have reported seeing the Dogman crossing roads, lurking near homes, or even peering into windows.

Explanations and Theories: There are several theories about what the Dogman could be. Some believe it is a misidentified animal, such as a large dog or wolf. Others think it could be a hoax or an urban legend fueled by mass hysteria. Cryptozoologists suggest it might be an undiscovered species or a relic population of prehistoric creatures.

Cultural Impact: The Dogman has become a part of local folklore and has been featured in various media, including books, documentaries, and television shows. It has a dedicated following among cryptid enthusiasts and paranormal investigators. The Dogman remains one of the more mysterious and intriguing cryptids, with ongoing reports and investigations keeping the legend alive.

Picture this: it’s 1798, the French Revolution is simmering down after years of chaos, and Jacques-Louis David—THE rockstar of neoclassical painting—is at the height of his game. The guy’s brush practically drips with gravitas, turning historical scenes into jaw-dropping propaganda for liberty and virtue. But then, out of nowhere, we get Portrait of a Young Woman in White, a piece credited to the “Circle of Jacques-Louis David.” It’s soft, intimate, and downright gorgeous—nothing like the stern, toga-clad revolutionaries he’s famous for. So, what’s the story here? Who painted it? And why does it feel like a secret whispered in a room full of shouts? Let’s dive into this art world enigma with a cup of coffee and some curiosity.

First off, Jacques-Louis David wasn’t just an artist—he was a cultural force. Think of him as the Steven Spielberg of 18th-century France, directing blockbuster paintings like The Oath of the Horatii and The Death of Marat. His style was all about clean lines, dramatic poses, and a vibe that screamed “nobility through simplicity.” He didn’t mess around with frilly details; he went straight for the soul. But by 1798, David wasn’t working alone anymore. He had a posse—a “circle” of students and assistants who orbited around him, soaking up his techniques and sometimes picking up the brush when the master was too busy plotting revolutions or dodging exile.

Enter Portrait of a Young Woman in White. This painting is a stunner: a young woman gazes out at us, her white dress glowing like moonlight against a dark backdrop. Her expression is calm but piercing, like she’s sizing you up and knows something you don’t. The brushwork is delicate, the colors muted yet rich—it’s got David’s DNA all over it, but it’s not quite his handwriting. Art historians call it “Circle of” because it’s likely the work of one of his talented understudies, someone trained in his studio, maybe even guided by his eagle eye. But who? That’s where the intrigue kicks in.

David’s studio was like an elite art school crossed with a bustling startup. He had heavy hitters like Anne-Louis Girodet and Antoine-Jean Gros in his orbit—painters who’d go on to make their own marks. Could one of them have slipped this gem onto the canvas? Girodet, for instance, had a knack for dreamy, poetic vibes that vibe with this portrait’s softness. Or maybe it was a lesser-known pupil, flexing their skills under David’s shadow? The lack of a signature keeps us guessing, and honestly, that’s half the fun. It’s like an unsigned love letter—you know it’s from someone in the inner circle, but the mystery makes it irresistible.

Now, let’s talk about the painting itself, because it’s more than just a pretty face. The white dress isn’t just fashion—it’s a symbol. In post-Revolutionary France, white was tied to purity, renewal, and a fresh start after the guillotine’s reign. This woman isn’t just sitting there; she’s a quiet testament to a society trying to heal. The way the light hits her, the subtle shading—it’s technical wizardry that only someone steeped in David’s neoclassical playbook could pull off. Yet, there’s a warmth here that David’s own works often skip. His stuff is usually all about duty and sacrifice; this feels personal, like a moment stolen from the chaos.

So why does this matter to us in 2025? Well, for one, it’s a reminder that even the biggest names don’t work in a vacuum. David’s circle shows us how talent ripples outward—how a master’s influence can birth a dozen other masterpieces. Plus, it’s a lesson in looking closer. Next time you’re scrolling through life, wondering who’s behind the scenes, think of this painting. Sometimes the real story isn’t in the spotlight—it’s in the shadows, waiting for you to notice.

If you ever get the chance to see Portrait of a Young Woman in White (it’s bounced around collections, so keep an eye out), stand there for a minute. Imagine the studio it came from: David barking orders, paint fumes in the air, and some unsung artist pouring their heart into this canvas. It’s not just a portrait—it’s a window into a world of ambition, skill, and a touch of rebellion. And isn’t that what art’s all about?

Seriously though where the hell did the human i PMD Explorers come from.

In Rescue Team and Gates the human is summoned from a parallel world to help save this new one.

In Super the human is from the ancient past, where they were presumably also summoned, or maybe humans just still existed back then.

But like??? In Explorers, they just exist???? Just a human in the future in a world where humanity isn’t a thing? They were never summoned or anything, they just got the whole amnesia Pokémon treatment because of a freak accident.

Name your PMD Explorers Hero Cotten-Eyed Joe because where did they come from, where did they go?

Victor Noir’s Magic Boner: The Parisian Grave That Promises Mind-Blowing Fertility

In the heart of Père Lachaise Cemetery, where legends like Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde rest, one grave gets far more action than the others. Victor Noir, a 19th-century journalist, met his end in a duel—but his bronze effigy lives on in infamy, thanks to one very prominent feature: his impressively sculpted bulge.

But this isn’t just an artistic choice—it’s a supernatural sex charm. According to Parisian folklore, if you place a flower in Noir’s hat, kiss his lips, and rub his well-defined package, you’ll be rewarded with a sizzling sex life, heightened fertility, or even a husband within a year.

This isn’t just a forgotten myth—it’s an ongoing ritual. Over decades, so many hopefuls have caressed Noir’s eternal erection that the bronze in that particular area has been worn smooth and polished to a golden sheen.

Tourists, locals, and the occasional bachelorette party all make the pilgrimage to Noir’s tomb, eager to test the legend for themselves. Some claim it works, others just enjoy the thrill—but one thing’s for sure: Victor Noir is getting more action in death than most of us do in life.

So, if you find yourself wandering through Père Lachaise and looking for a little extra luck in love, you know where to go. Just be gentle—he’s been through a lot. 😉🔥

[marcus-x-shaw]

Picture this: it’s the late 18th century, somewhere in the fledgling United States. The air smells like woodsmoke and revolution, and a painter—known to us only as the Sherman Limner—picks up his brush. He’s not a fancy-pants artist with a studio full of apprentices or a name that echoes through history books. No, he’s a traveling soul, a jack-of-all-trades with a knack for capturing faces on canvas. And sometime between 1785 and 1790, he paints *Portrait of a Lady in Red*. It’s a stunner—a woman with a gaze that could melt iron, draped in crimson like she’s daring the world to look away. But who was she? And why does this painting still feel like it’s whispering secrets across centuries?

Let’s start with the Sherman Limner himself. “Limner” isn’t even a real name—it’s an old-school term for a portrait painter, often an itinerant one who roamed from town to town, offering his services to anyone with a few coins and a story to tell. Think of him as the 18th-century equivalent of a wandering Instagram influencer, except instead of selfies, he’s lugging oil paints and a rickety easel. We don’t know his first name, his hometown, or even if he liked his job. All we’ve got are the canvases he left behind, and *Portrait of a Lady in Red* is one of the gems.

Now, the painting itself—it’s a knockout. The lady’s dressed in a rich red gown, the kind of color that screams confidence and maybe a little rebellion. Red wasn’t just a fashion choice back then; it was a statement. Dyes like that were pricey, often imported, and tricky to get right. So this woman? She’s not some wallflower. She’s got presence, maybe money, maybe attitude—or both. Her face is serene but sharp, with eyes that lock onto yours like she’s mid-conversation, about to drop some tea that’d scandalize the neighbors. The Sherman Limner catches all of this with a style that’s rough around the edges but brimming with life. His brushstrokes aren’t fussy—they’re bold, almost impatient, like he’s racing to pin her spirit to the canvas before she strides out of the room.

So who was she? Art historians love to speculate, but the truth is, we don’t have a clue. She could’ve been a merchant’s wife, a tavern keeper with a wild streak, or even a Revolutionary War heroine who ditched the musket for a moment of glamour. The Sherman Limner didn’t leave us a diary or a handy label on the frame. What he *did* leave is a mystery that’s as delicious as it is frustrating. It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to time-travel back to 1785, sidle up to her at some candlelit supper, and ask, “Okay, spill—who *are* you?”

What’s wilder still is how this painting fits into the bigger picture (pun intended) of early American art. The late 18th century wasn’t exactly a golden age for highbrow portraiture over here. Europe had its Rembrandts and Gainsboroughs, but in the States, we were still figuring out how to keep the paint from freezing in drafty log cabins. The Sherman Limner and his ilk were the unsung heroes of the era—self-taught artists who brought a raw, unpolished vibe to their work. They weren’t painting for kings or cathedrals; they were painting for everyday folks who wanted a little immortality on their parlor wall. And yet, *Portrait of a Lady in Red* has this magnetic pull that feels timeless. It’s not just a snapshot—it’s a story with no ending.

If you ever get the chance to see it (it’s bounced around private collections and small museums over the years), take a minute to stand in front of her. Notice the way the light hits that red dress, the subtle quirks in her expression, the slightly wonky perspective that reminds you this wasn’t some polished pro at work. It’s imperfect, human, and alive. And if you’re like me, you’ll walk away wondering what she’d think of us staring at her now, 240 years later, still trying to crack her code.

So here’s your takeaway, friends: next time you’re scrolling through history—or even just your own family photos—look for the mysteries. The unnamed faces, the half-told tales. They’re the ones that stick with you, the ones that make you feel like the past isn’t so far away after all. The Sherman Limner’s Lady in Red? She’s proof that a single painting can keep us guessing, gossiping, and dreaming for centuries. And honestly, I’m here for it.
