Afghan Man Arrested For Series Of Rapes Of Goats And Sheep In France
Via Remix News, A 19-year-old Afghan national has been arrested and charged following a series of brutal sexual attacks on goats and sheep in Pennes-Mirabeau, a municipality in Bouches-du-Rhône, near Marseille. The suspect was taken into custody by the anti-crime brigade (BAC) on the night of April 9-10, 2026, after local sheep and goat owners alerted police. Since early 2026, several owners had discovered their animals injured, with incidents reported in both February and March. The animals had their legs tied and showed clear signs of rape, according to French newspaper La Provence. After multiple similar episodes, the owners installed motion-sensor cameras on their properties in an attempt to identify the perpetrator. The footage revealed the silhouette of a young man visiting their livestock at night, and the images were handed over to police, who were eventually able to identify a matching suspect. The man appeared before a judge on Saturday, April 11, who ordered his placement in pre-trial detention. He was set to appear in court on Monday, April 13. He faces up to three …

Ireland’s native goats date back to Bronze Age
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Some 3,000 years of history is locked inside the DNA of a single species—the old Irish Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus). This rare indigenous breed is Ireland’s only native goat species and shares a genetic link to goats living across the country during the Late Bronze Age. According to a study published today in the Journal of Archaeological Science, understanding this genetic time capsule reshapes our understanding of Ireland’s agricultural past and supports goat conservation efforts as a living link to prehistoric farming communities. “This research is a huge milestone for the Old Irish Goat, and provides powerful scientific validation of what local communities and conservationists have long believed—that the Old Irish Goat represents a living piece of our ancient heritage,” Sinead Keane from The Old Irish Goat Society said in a statement. “It also underscores the urgency of protecting this critically endangered breed, which carries within it a living genetic record of Ireland’s ancient past.” The old Irish goat …
Eyewitnesses, AI, and Inflatable Goats
Eyewitnesses, like all the rest of us, don’t see the world around us merely as it is. Our ideas about the world influence how we interpret everything we see (e.g., Sharps, 2024). Take Christopher Columbus, for example. Like many seamen, he knew stories of mermaids; but unlike many seamen, Columbus actually reported seeing them, although he said they weren’t nearly as attractive as he expected (e.g., Bergreen, 2011). He was actually looking at West Indian manatees; but he’d never seen manatees before, so he interpreted them in terms of his prior frameworks for understanding (e.g., Bransford & Johnson, 1972). Those frameworks included mermaids, but lacked manatees. The same psychological factors still influence us today. There is a wonderful ancient bas-relief, held today in the British Museum, depicting what are frequently characterized as “ancient divers.” It includes images of men swimming with their mouths pressed into what appear to be inflated goatskins. The basic concept on many internet sites, and on a variety of “documentaries,” is that this relief depicts ancient people diving with, essentially, an …

The beauty and serenity of laundry : Goats and Soda : NPR
A boy does laundry near the Siem Reap River. Macy Castañeda-Lee hide caption toggle caption Macy Castañeda-Lee In early February, Macy Castañeda Lee took a motorbike ride along the Siem Reap River out to the large green swaths of rice and lotus fields that pepper the outskirts of the Cambodian city. Miles from the city center, they stumbled across a booming industry that filled the streets, homes and riverside. “There was laundry everywhere,” remembers Castañeda Lee, a Filipino photographer who was in Siem Reap for the Angkor Photo Festival and Workshop. “Visually, it was very striking.” Camera in hand, Castañeda Lee started documenting the varied loads of laundry, and in the process learned what laundry means to the community: “Laundry is a symbol for Cambodian and Khmer people of their economic and health standards.” Invisible workers A new photo series from Filipino photographer Macy Castañeda Lee showcases the beauty in the mundane task of doing laundry and the role it plays in the rural Siem Reap economy.
