A Siberian corespondent made this chart showing the relations/alleged relations between the various cryptids and folktales of African swamps.

In a new quantum experiment, scientists saw something that challenges everything we think we know about time. Instead of flowing forward like a river, time seemed to loop and fold back on itself. Particles behaved as if their future could affect their past, blurring the line between cause and effect in ways that defy ordinary understanding. This strange behavior was observed through quantum entanglement a phenomenon where two particles remain mysteriously linked, no matter how far apart they are. When scientists changed how they measured one particle, it seemed to alter the history of its partner retroactively. It’s as if “now” and “then” exist together, constantly reshaping each other in a single, connected moment. The findings hint that time may not be a one-way path but a flexible structure that bends and connects distant events. Your choices don’t rewrite your past, but on a quantum level, the universe might not follow the rules of linear order at all. Reality could be stranger than we’ve ever imagined.

As a chick who grew up in South Africa and if you are in the slightest bit arsed, here’s some education for you. Apartheid South Africa and the Israel–Palestine conflict are not the same thing. South Africa’s apartheid was a single-state system of explicit racial laws denying citizenship, votes, and rights to Black people within one sovereign country. Israel–Palestine is a territorial and national conflict, not a racial hierarchy. Arab Israelis vote, serve in parliament, and have full legal rights. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are not Israeli citizens but live under different authorities, Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in parts of the West Bank. Calling it “apartheid” isn’t just wrong, it cheapens real apartheid and misrepresents a complex national conflict. The two situations are morally, legally, and historically different. Pretending otherwise just distorts history and is a lie. Just saying … for the MPs at the back who don’t know what they are talking about.
