Trans woman dressed up like Blues Brothers allegedly murdered millionaire developer in LA
NY Post | 3/17/26 | Titus WuA transgender woman dressed up like a Blues Brother allegedly murdered a millionaire developer in his Los Angeles home before having an hours-long standoff with a SWAT team, authorities said.
Eleanor Beaulieu, 39, was charged Sunday in the killing of Demetrius Doukoullos and is being housed in Los Angeles County’s Men’s Central Jail, according to inmate records.
Neighbors reported a foul odor coming from the Hermosa Beach home, along with sightings of a suspicious person…
Cops responded to check on Doukoullos around 12:30 p.m. Saturday after his realtor hadn’t heard from him for about a week, police said.
I had no idea you were supposed to check in with your realtor more frequently than once a week.
“Eleanor, come out with your hands up. This has been going on long enough,” the officer yelled repeatedly, the Daily Mail reported.
About sixty years too long.
Photos show Beaulieu surrendering to police after hours of negotiations, wearing a peculiar outfit that included a fedora, suit, sunglasses, and black tie.
Police cautiously approached him, cuffed him and walked him south to one of the dozens of police vehicles.
The reporter jotted down the direction after a glance at his compass? Impressive.
To be honest, the whole incident went south.

Scientists Find Clue to High-Temperature Superconductivity in Quantum Materials
Gadgets360 | January 20, 2026Scientists have recently discovered the underlying hidden magnetic order in the pseudogap phase of a quantum material. The peculiar phase exists immediately above the superconducting transition. The research team employed an ultracold-atom simulator. They were able to detect a hidden antiferromagnetic order even when the material lacked electrons.
This is referred to as doping.
Oh. Which I thought was quite different.
These discoveries are reminiscent of strange occurrences found in ‘spin ice’ magnets. The basic structural units of spin ice crystals are frustrated tetrahedrons of magnetic atoms that do not form a traditional order.
My plan for a government grant: spin some ice made of ultracold atoms into a pseudogap. That should frustrate the hell out of tetrahedrons who were expecting a real gap.
