So it is no secret that I have been developing a Sherlock Holmes level skill set for decades now.

Jeffrey Dahmer is one of those people that, after looking at the professionals who have published papers online about him, seems to be unconfirmed. They disagree about his causes and his effects and in all this, the one person who doesn't seem to disagree is Dashmer himself.

Most days I am sent something from the main stream media to peruse and most of the time they are disregarded simply because celebrity scandals are the least interesting thing ever. Sad for the folks involved, but as I am not involved, I think it is ok to say that.

As there is so much we can look at we will turn this into kind of a mini series of sorts. We also have an unbo...

News of the tragic death of The Queen broke a few moments before we started the stream for this one so we thought it best to start by talking a little bit about her and the implications surrounding her passing.
