Billionaires install private snow rooms with frost and snowfall in their homes

Among the world's wealthiest, so-called snow rooms — private chambers in mansions where winter conditions with frost and artificial snowfall are maintained year-round — are becoming the latest status symbol. The trend is displacing earlier luxuries such as indoor pools and home cinemas. These installations require sophisticated refrigeration technology and remain the preserve of a very small ultra-rich elite.

Is it morally justified for billionaires to build private snow rooms?

Trump warns US military will destroy Iran if assassination attempt is made

Donald Trump posted on social media that the US military is ready, willing and able to destroy Iran if its government attempts an assassination against him. The statement came in response to reports of an alleged Iranian plot targeting the US president. Trump also denied that Israel was the source of the intelligence about the alleged plan.

Is Trump right to threaten Iran with destruction over an alleged assassination plot?

Poland may cut military aid to Ukraine over WWII historical dispute

As Poland marks a day of remembrance for victims of a Ukrainian nationalist military unit from World War II, there are growing signs Warsaw may cut off military aid to Ukraine. The dispute centres on Poland's assessment of wartime crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalist forces against Poles. Such a move would come while Ukraine's war against Russia is ongoing.

Should Poland cut military aid to Ukraine over the WWII historical dispute?

Mortgage rates fall after dovish NBP press conference

Following the dovish tone of NBP Governor Adam Glapiński's press conference and easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, Polish bond yields fell noticeably, pushing mortgage rates significantly lower than just a few weeks ago. The drop is good news for borrowers repaying home loans in Poland.

Should the NBP cut interest rates as soon as possible?

Poles embrace cycling tourism over foreign holidays

A growing number of Poles are choosing domestic cycling trips over foreign holidays — not because they can't afford to travel, but as a deliberate lifestyle choice. Kacper Goliński, founder of VeloPlanner, says even a 2–3-day bike trip offers a form of meditation and mental reset. He argues that 30 years after the political transformation, Poles have shed their complex about foreign travel.

Is a cycling holiday in Poland better than going abroad?

Ancient myths portrayed Penelope very differently from Homer's faithful wife

While Homer's Odyssey presents Penelope as the model faithful wife, ancient myths and interpretations portrayed her in far more complex and sometimes shocking ways. Ancient sources offered alternative accounts of her relationship with Odysseus, her fate and her death. The article argues this wealth of tradition could fuel an entire television series, not just a single film.

Are ancient alternative myths about Penelope more interesting than Homer's version?

Syphilis and gonorrhoea hit record highs in Europe — worst in over a decade

The number of sexually transmitted infections in Europe reached its highest level in over a decade in 2024, with syphilis making a comeback and gonorrhoea hitting new records. This is happening despite the widespread availability of antibiotics, condoms and health information. Experts are questioning what has gone wrong with prevention and sexual education efforts.

Could better sex education in schools curb the rise in STIs?

Spaghetti bolognese doesn't exist in Bologna — Italians are baffled

Italians — especially those from Bologna — are baffled by the worldwide fame of "spaghetti bolognese," a dish that simply does not exist in the local cuisine. In Bologna, the traditional meat ragù is always served with tagliatelle, never spaghetti. Spaghetti bolognese is a foreign invention that has become one of the biggest myths about Italian cooking.

Should spaghetti bolognese be recognised as its own dish unrelated to Bologna?

Green whirlpools in the Baltic Sea are dangerous algae blooms, not photo filters

Large green whirlpools visible in the Baltic Sea are not photo-filter effects but dangerous cyanobacteria blooms. These toxic microorganisms thrive in warm, nutrient-rich water and pose a risk to the marine ecosystem and to swimmers. The phenomenon has been attracting widespread attention online.

Should cyanobacteria blooms in the Baltic trigger seasonal swimming bans?

Analysts cool Bitcoin $500,000 by 2029 forecasts as cycle data shows the math doesn't work

Some forecasters predict Bitcoin will reach $500,000 by 2029, but an analysis of historical halving cycles suggests such a price level would be extremely difficult to achieve. Each successive cycle has shown diminishing growth momentum, making the bullish targets mathematically hard to justify. The outlook is seen as overly optimistic based on past patterns.

Will Bitcoin reach $500,000 before 2030?

Female biker Katarzyna Olewińska: "Motorcycling is no longer just for men"

Katarzyna Olewińska, a motorcyclist with 10 years of experience, describes the stereotypes she regularly faces — people assume she is a passenger or rides a scooter. She stresses that women riding motorcycles should be completely normal and encourages other women to take up the hobby.

Do women still face unjustified stereotypes in the motorcycling world?

The median debt of Polish households has reached 86% of median earnings, and in some cities and regions debts already exceed wages.

US approves Patriot missile licence for Ukraine, but production years away

Donald Trump announced that the US will approve a licence for Ukraine to produce its own Patriot missile interceptors, a move described as a potential breakthrough for Kyiv. However, experts warn that setting up production will take years, meaning there will be no immediate military benefit. The decision is seen as a long-term investment in Ukraine's air-defence capability.

Is the Patriot production licence sufficient US support for Ukraine?
