"Children of Blood and Bone" author disavows film adaptation as first images released

The first official images from the film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi's fantasy novel "Children of Blood and Bone" have been released online. Adeyemi publicly stated she has not seen the film and does not plan to, and reportedly blocked star Amandla Stenberg on social media. Director Gina Prince-Bythewood has presented a contrasting picture, saying the collaboration with the author went well.

Should a novel's author have veto power over its film adaptation?

Promoter: Joshua vs Itauma in Nigeria would top Ali's 'Rumble in the Jungle'

Promoter Dr Ezekiel Adamu says a fight between Anthony Joshua and Moses Itauma held in Nigeria would generate more global interest than Muhammad Ali's famous 'Rumble in the Jungle'. He describes the potential matchup as a "blockbuster fight" and a "perfect story", noting both fighters have Nigerian connections.

Would a Joshua vs Itauma fight in Nigeria surpass the 'Rumble in the Jungle'?

Scientists drill 1,268 m into ocean floor, find system powering the Lost City

Scientists completed one of the deepest ocean-floor drillings in oceanographic history, boring 1,268 metres into the rock beneath the Atlantic Ocean. They discovered the hydrothermal system that powers the so-called Lost City — a remarkable field of carbonate chimneys on the seafloor. The find sheds new light on deep-sea geological processes and conditions that could support life.

Should deep-ocean exploration be funded at the same level as space missions?

Ukrainian drones hit oil depots and logistics hubs near Moscow

A massive overnight Ukrainian drone offensive struck the Moscow region, igniting fires at strategic oil depots and major logistics centres. Thick smoke drifted over the Russian capital itself. The attack is part of a sustained Ukrainian campaign that has also targeted Russian military bases, airfields and tankers in the Black Sea in recent days.

Are Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian infrastructure an effective war strategy?

Gen Z's fear of going viral is reshaping nightclub culture

For many Gen Z clubbers, the greatest fear is no longer embarrassing themselves on the dancefloor but accidentally ending up in someone else's viral social media video. This anxiety is reshaping how young people behave in clubs, making them more guarded and self-conscious about being filmed without consent.

Should filming other people in nightclubs without consent be banned?

Olomouc: the Czech city where art takes over public space

Olomouc, a city in the Czech Republic, surprises visitors with art woven into everyday public spaces. The author describes being startled by an art installation depicting an apparent theft, having grown unaccustomed to encountering art outside gallery walls. The city prompts reflection on how rarely people engage with art beyond dedicated venues.

Should public art have a greater presence in Polish cities?

South Korea's "dopamine sites" let you shop without spending or receiving anything

South Korea has given rise to so-called "dopamine sites" — platforms that simulate online shopping without any real transactions. Users can browse, select and "order" products, getting the psychological reward of the shopping process without spending money or receiving any delivery. The trend taps into the dopamine hit associated with the act of choosing and buying.

Are "dopamine sites" a healthy alternative to impulse shopping?

Reddit gamer creates physical Steam game cartridges using external SSDs

A Reddit user has built a DIY physical "cartridge" system for Steam games: each game is stored on a separate external SSD, and plugging it into a docking station triggers a script that launches the correct title in Steam. The setup is elegantly simple and saves space on the main drive. It does not, however, grant true game ownership independent of Steam — GOG's offline installation option remains the better alternative for that.

Should digital platforms like Steam guarantee full game ownership to players?

Pesticides on fruit and vegetables: how to wash them off effectively

Fruit and vegetables — including organic produce — carry residues of pesticides applied both in orchards and in storage facilities as preservatives. Rinsing under running water removes some residues but not all; scrubbing with a brush or soaking in a baking soda solution is more effective. Complete removal is impossible, as some chemicals penetrate into the flesh of the produce.

Are Poland's permitted pesticide limits on food strict enough?

Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov: I wrote down my nightmare to overcome it

Georgi Gospodinov, one of Bulgaria's most celebrated writers, tells Newsweek about a childhood nightmare he wrote down instead of telling his grandmother — and which never returned. He recalls the absurdities of communist Bulgaria, where even basic goods like oil and peppers were scarce. The interview explores literature, memory and writing as a way of processing trauma.

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2027 set to lose horsepower per homologation documents

Homologation documents suggest the 2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 will produce less power than the current model. The news has upset the motorcycle community online, though the bike will still rank among the most powerful production superbikes available. In reality, most riders never come close to exploiting the machine's full potential outside of a racetrack straight.

Is losing a few horsepower in the Ninja H2 a serious issue for riders?

A psychotherapist explains that even a serious relationship crisis need not spell the end — it can become a catalyst for addressing accumulated problems. Couples often struggle not with infidelity but with the slow erosion of daily life and poor communication. Facing those difficulties, however painful, can be the path to healing the relationship.

Should every couple experiencing a crisis seek psychotherapy?

Lycopene from tomatoes shields neurons from Parkinson's-like brain damage in mice

Scientists fed lycopene — the natural red pigment found in tomatoes, pink grapefruits and watermelons — to mice with artificially induced Parkinson's-like brain damage for three weeks. The compound appeared to support the dopamine transporter (DAT) protein, which recycles spent dopamine back into neurons. Mice receiving lycopene showed markedly better brain function than the control group.

Do mouse study results justify recommending lycopene as a Parkinson's preventive?
