Spat-on Vietnam vets myth was right-wing invention, not history

The 1982 film "First Blood" cemented the myth of Vietnam veterans being spat on and shunned by their fellow Americans. Historians argue this is a fabrication: both the political right and left courted veterans, and military service actually helped careers. There is no credible historical evidence for the scenes of public contempt portrayed in Hollywood films.

Should Hollywood be held responsible for spreading historical myths?

Bernstein: DraftKings' DKeX launch could spark M&A wave across prediction-market platforms

Analysts at Bernstein say DraftKings' launch of its DKeX prediction-market platform keeps revenue in-house rather than ceding it to rivals. The move could accelerate consolidation across consumer trading and betting platforms, potentially triggering a wave of mergers and acquisitions in the sector.

Is consolidation in prediction markets good for consumers?

Poland 2050 pushes for crypto assets law as MiCA deadline hits

From 1 July 2026, crypto exchanges operating in the EU must hold a MiCA licence. In Poland, obtaining one is impossible due to the absence of national crypto-asset legislation. The Poland 2050 party has held informal talks and is lobbying the president to sign the required law so the sector can operate legally.

Should Poland pass a crypto-assets law as quickly as possible?

Vučić resigns, EU says it will respect Serbian voters' choice

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced his resignation, with elections expected in the autumn of 2026. The European Commission stated on Monday that it will respect the Serbian people's choice once elections — long demanded by anti-government protesters — take place. Brussels refrained from directly commenting on Vučić's announced departure.

Will Vučić's resignation improve Serbia's relations with the European Union?

Android to let users choose which apps get backed up to the cloud

Google is testing per-app backup controls in an Android beta, allowing users to choose exactly which apps get backed up to their Google account. Until now, Android's backup system worked on an all-or-nothing basis. The feature was first spotted by Android Authority in late 2025 and is now in limited beta rollout.

Should Android users have full control over what gets backed up to the cloud?

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces surrounded near Stary Oskol — Ukraine denies it

It is another instance of Russian wartime announcements being challenged by the Ukrainian side.

Resident doctors urge health ministry to end anti-doctor rhetoric

The Polish Residents' Agreement (OZZL) has called on the Ministry of Health to end what it describes as partisan rhetoric and anti-doctor sentiment. Doctors argue that emotionally charged messaging about hospital salaries creates a distorted picture of reality. The union published a report covering 321 hospitals and is demanding a fact-based public debate.
