Fake anti-Pabloite fulmination
LOL. Imagine writing stuff like this, all but un-ironically.
Also, Manouchian seems to have been a Stalinoid and so was the French Communist Resistance, so why does the super-duper-Trotskyite "World Socialist Web Site" express political support for him all of a sudden? Shouldn´t this notoriously sectarian group vomit all over Manouchian, too?
I link to this stuff for no particular reason at all. Just killing time at 4:15 AM local time...
Macron pays false tribute to French-Armenian resistance fighter Missak Manouchian
Oh, those Russians
Crazy Russian scientists try to grow vegetables in Antarctica. Because of course they are. If they also tried to revive Lysenko is less clear, but maybe he doesn´t like watermelons?

Celestial hide and seek
It seems the James Webb Telescope has confirmed at least one scientific theory, LOL. Yes, there are neutron stars in the middle of the remains of supernovae...
Glad to finally have *that* sorted out, at least. Dude!

Inadvertently
We kind of knew that already...
Germany appears to have inadvertently revealed the UK and France have soldiers in Ukraine
Chimps with the gorilla mindset?

| "Where´s the Bili Ape at, we have unfinished bizniz!" |
They are big, they are bad, they have a taste for leopard flesh, they sleep on the ground in Africa´s most dangerous forest and the only man they suffer is Tarzan himself. When they´re not busy howling at the moon!
Or is it just media hype as usual?
Three somewhat different takes on the "Bili Ape" below, the chimpanzee with the gorilla mindset!
Unmasking the Congo´s giant chimpanzees
Found: the giant lion-eating chimps of the magic forest
Collectable demons
The Faroe Islands are a Danish territory in the North Sea, where the population speaks its own distinctive language. When not busy slaughtering pilot whales or banning the film "The Da Vinci Code", they apparently put demonic entities on their postage stamps?!
Which makes me wonder why they banned the Dan Brown movie, but whatever. Karl Shuker has the story below.
Friendly ghosts
I don´t like chimpanzees (they lack the Gorilla Mindset), but here are some interesting blog posts by Karl Shuker, a British cryptozoologist and frequent writer on the weird and wonderful. The topic? You guessed it: aberrant chimpanzees.
The "ghost" chimp of Nkata Bay was real and apparently quite friendly to humans, but strangely out of place. There are no chimpanzees in Malawi, where Nkata Bay is located. Koolookambas are also real, but probably not chimp-gorilla hybrids (thank God), but simply unusually looking chimpos from Gabon.
"Ape-Man" Oliver was a strange-looking but genetically perfectly regular chimpanzee hyped by the American media as some kind of "missing link", humanzee, or what have you. Oliver´s life was hard, at one point even being sold to a animal testing facility, but he was eventually saved and placed in an sanctuary. Interestingly, the ape was fully bipedal, the result of training and habituation, not some hideous mutation or hybrid origins.
The extraordinary creature mentioned in the fourth link is probably a hoax. Ahem, a spiny backed chimpanzee that walks upright on two legs? Shuker is very nice, as usual, trying to come up with alternative explanations, but unless this troglodyte shows up at the White House lawn, I refuse to believe it!

When Aslan met Bagheera
From the X account Legendary Cryptids: "One of the only known cases of multiple cryptids being friends are the reports of black panthers and maned lions in America traveling together. A pair were spotted near the Illinois Indiana border in 1948 and in Arkansas in 1977."
They say Aslan and Bagheera are on the move...
