Yale recordings challenge Milgram experiment — subjects knew they could refuse

A new analysis of original recordings from Stanley Milgram's famous obedience experiment, published in the journal "Political Psychology", challenges its landmark conclusion. For over 60 years the study was seen as proof that ordinary people will harm others when ordered to by an authority figure. Researchers now suggest participants were more aware of their right to refuse than previously believed, fundamentally altering how the results should be interpreted.

Should the Milgram experiment be removed from psychology textbooks?

Paul Hogan calls Pauline Hanson a 'pelican' after she invokes Crocodile Dundee against multiculturalism

Australian actor Paul Hogan, famous for playing Crocodile Dundee, called One Nation leader Pauline Hanson a "pelican" after she cited his character as a symbol of Australian monoculture and used it to attack multiculturalism. Hogan clearly distanced himself from her anti-immigration stance. In Australian slang, "pelican" is a term for a foolish or ridiculous person.

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.

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?

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.
