The comic book "Do Adolfów" can be naive in its dramatic plot twists, but the reviewer argues that its very melodramatic excess is the source of its strength. The work explores the theme of the name Adolf and its historical baggage. Despite some narrative weaknesses, the review is ultimately positive.

Should you overpay your mortgage in 2026? Experts say calculate before you act

Until recently, overpaying a mortgage whenever possible was the obvious financial move in Poland. In 2026 the picture has changed: interest rates have fallen, inflation has returned close to the NBP target and the cost of money has stabilised. Experts now say the decision requires careful calculation weighing the mortgage rate against potential returns from alternative investments.

Plant these in your garden to naturally repel black flies

Poland is currently experiencing peak black fly season — these insects are smaller than mosquitoes but cause more painful swelling and can lead to infections. Planting certain species such as lavender, mint, basil and marigolds in the garden or on the balcony acts as a natural repellent. This approach allows gardeners to avoid chemical insecticides entirely.

Are natural insect repellents as effective as chemical ones?

Galaxy NGC 1052-DF9 lacks dark matter — the third such case found

Astronomers have identified NGC 1052-DF9 as a third galaxy whose movements can be explained without invoking dark matter, joining the previously known DF2 and DF4. All three objects are located in the same region of space. The finding challenges standard galaxy formation models and hints at previously unknown cosmological processes.

Heat stroke explained: body "cooks from inside" — warning signs and prevention

An emergency medicine specialist warns that during heat stroke the body's temperature rises so rapidly it begins to destroy internal organs — describing the process as "cooking from the inside." Unlike heat exhaustion, heat stroke means the body's cooling mechanisms have completely failed. The doctor urges immediate cooling and calling emergency services at the first signs of the condition.

Russian propaganda on Wikimedia Commons is training AI language models

A large volume of Russian propaganda — including material about the annexation of Crimea — is being deliberately published on Wikimedia Commons, one of the most important data sources used to train AI language models. Expert Marcin Żabiński says this is an intentional campaign: by poisoning the dataset, bad actors aim to embed Russian geopolitical narratives into AI systems. Wikimedia Commons is particularly vulnerable due to its open nature and its widespread use in AI training pipelines.

Should Wikimedia tighten content moderation to protect AI models from propaganda?
