Georgi Gospodinov's early story collection lands in Polish translation

The Polish translation of Georgi Gospodinov's short story collection "And Everything Became the Moon" has just been published. The book predates Gospodinov's best-known novels and explores life under Bulgarian communist leader Todor Zhivkov as well as visions of future catastrophe. Gospodinov is the Bulgarian author who won the Booker Prize for his novel "Time Shelter."

Should Booker Prize winners be translated into Polish more quickly?

Katowice surgeons performed rare brain revascularisation on 15-year-old girl

Neurosurgeons at the Upper Silesian Children's Health Centre in Katowice performed a direct brain revascularisation procedure on a 15-year-old girl who had previously suffered a stroke. The surgery involved joining cerebral blood vessels using sutures as thin as a human hair and is considered one of the most complex vascular operations in neurosurgery. The goal of the procedure is to reduce the risk of further stroke episodes for the young patient.

"Slop Face": why so many Hollywood stars are starting to look identical

A trend dubbed "slop face" is spreading through Hollywood, with critics noting that a growing number of stars increasingly look alike. Observers attribute the phenomenon to plastic surgery trends, the preferences of casting directors and the homogenising influence of social media. Critics argue that the convergence of looks is draining the entertainment industry of diversity and visual individuality.

Are social media the main driver behind the homogenisation of celebrity looks?

He simultaneously called for traffic stops to resume, even though his own administration had ordered ICE to pause them just the day before. The quick reversal of the pause drew immediate controversy.

Should Trump have withheld praise for ICE following the killings?

Thermal water spray on sale at Action for under 10 zloty — a summer hit

Action stores are selling thermal water spray for under 10 zloty, making it a popular summer buy for cooling and refreshing skin on hot days. The product moisturises and nourishes the skin, and its low price means it sells out quickly.

Is cheap discount-store thermal water spray as effective as the pricier pharmacy version?

World Cup 2026 proved Americans can actually use public transit

The 2026 World Cup revealed a surprising shift: US fans embraced public transit en masse instead of driving, a rarity in a country defined by car culture and tailgate parties. Commentators are calling public transportation the tournament's most unexpected winner. The phenomenon suggests Americans may change travel habits when given sufficient incentive.

Will the 2026 World Cup permanently change Americans' attitude toward public transit?

South Korea's KOSPI surges 7% as SK Hynix and Samsung lead Asian rebound

South Korea's KOSPI index surged around 7% on Wednesday, closing near 3,743 points — a move large enough to trigger the sidecar mechanism that halted programme buying orders for five minutes. After two sessions of heavy selling, investors snapped up beaten-down shares in chipmakers SK Hynix and Samsung. Fresh inflation data provided the catalyst for the rebound.
