Psychobiotics: how gut-friendly foods can support mental health

Scientists are increasingly talking about psychobiotics — dietary components that support the gut-brain axis. Research shows that diet can help alleviate low mood, chronic stress and symptoms of depression by influencing the gut microbiome. Fermented foods, fibre and pre- and probiotics are among the key dietary elements linked to better mental wellbeing.

Can diet be an effective support in treating depression?

Dwayne Johnson's Jumanji films beat Robin Williams' original — here's why

A film critic argues that the 2017 Jumanji reboot starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart surpasses the beloved 1995 original with Robin Williams — and it's not even close. The author admits initial scepticism about swapping the board game for a video game setting, but says the new films won him over. The piece is a personal, opinion-based film review.

Is Dwayne Johnson's Jumanji better than Robin Williams' original?

Polish finance minister says 2.5% inflation gives no grounds for rate hike

Finance Minister Andrzej Domański said that June inflation in Poland came in at 2.5% year-on-year according to a flash GUS estimate — below expectations. He argued this gives the Monetary Policy Council no grounds to raise interest rates, which should keep borrowing costs low for Polish consumers.

Should Poland's central bank cut interest rates given the low inflation?

Analysis: Russia could test NATO by attacking Lithuania, but Vilnius is well prepared

An analysis outlines two scenarios in which Russia could attack Lithuania as a way of testing NATO's resolve. However, Vilnius is assessed as better prepared for such aggression than most other NATO member states. Lithuania has been consistently strengthening its defence capabilities and deepening cooperation within the alliance.

Is Lithuania sufficiently prepared for a potential Russian attack?

Heat waves intensify – can the human body adapt?

Temperatures across the US are forecast to surge around the July 4 holiday, just a week after Europe set new heat records. Scientists warn that heat waves will become more frequent and more severe due to climate change. Research suggests the human body can partially acclimatise, but the limits of that adaptation are narrow, especially for the elderly and those with chronic illness.

Can the human body sufficiently adapt to increasingly intense heat waves?

US Civil War: industrial North vs feudal South – a fight over money and slavery

In the mid-19th century the US was starkly divided: the capitalist North was building industry while the South maintained a feudal plantation economy based on enslaved labour. The Civil War was therefore a conflict not only over the rights of Black Americans but also over economic dominance and the country's direction. The two regions held incompatible visions for the nation's future.

Was economics a more important cause of the Civil War than slavery?

Unpaid debts strain friendships – Gen Z most vulnerable to financial stress in relationships

New research shows that money has become the leading source of stress in Gen Z friendships. Unpaid debts between friends are increasingly causing lasting damage to relationships. Experts note that young people are especially vulnerable because they tend to lend money informally, without clear agreements.

Is lending money to friends too great a risk to the relationship?

Industry analyst: Sony ending disc releases by 2028 unlikely to change Nintendo's plans

Sony announced it will end disc-based PlayStation game releases by 2028, prompting questions about the future of physical media across all console platforms. Circana senior director Mat Piscatella told VGC he does not expect the move to influence Nintendo's strategy, saying simply, "Nintendo is going to be Nintendo." Nintendo has historically followed its own path regardless of competitors' decisions.

Should Nintendo follow Sony and phase out physical game releases?

Philosophy belongs to everyone, not just academics, argues Zena Hitz

Philosopher Zena Hitz walked away from an elite academic career to spend three years washing dishes in a monastery. She argues that real philosophical thought belongs to taxi drivers, office clerks and prisoners — everyday people outside academia. In her view, intellectual life has nothing to do with degrees or institutional prestige.

New home demand drops sharply – Łódź, Trójmiasto and Wrocław hit hardest

Data from BIG DATA RynekPierwotny.pl show that demand for new flats fell significantly across most Polish cities in Q2 2025, even as prices held steady. The steepest sales declines were recorded in Łódź, Trójmiasto and Wrocław. The figures suggest the housing boom of recent years is losing momentum.

Is the drop in housing demand good news for buyers?
