"Lex Smród" bill may strip rural residents of the right to complain about farm nuisances

Since February 2025, Poland's Ministry of Agriculture has been working on a law protecting the agricultural production functions of rural areas, dubbed "Lex Smród" (Stench Law) or "Lex Rolnik" (Farmer Law) by critics. The draft legislation would significantly limit rural residents' ability to seek legal redress against farm-related nuisances such as noise and odour. The bill has not yet entered into force but is already raising concerns about the silencing of local communities.

Will the "Lex Smród" bill strip rural residents of their legal rights?

HBO's "The Pitt" re-enters top 10 ahead of its next season

HBO's medical drama "The Pitt," led by Noah Wyle, has returned to the streaming top 10 ahead of its upcoming season. Season 2 was one of HBO's biggest hits of 2026. The network also scored with "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," a Game of Thrones prequel based on George R.R. Martin's short stories, which was renewed for a second season before its first episode aired.

Does "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" match the quality of Game of Thrones?

White noise helps newborns sleep — total silence is a mistake

Contrary to popular belief, newborns are accustomed to the loud environment of the womb and do not thrive in complete silence. White noise mimics the sounds babies heard before birth and can effectively soothe them and help them fall asleep. Parents need not tiptoe around the house — a moderate level of background noise is natural and safe for newborns.

Should parents use white noise to help newborns sleep?

007 First Light was originally designed as a team-based ensemble game

IO Interactive revealed that "007 First Light" was at one point envisioned as an ensemble game, with James Bond leading a team of agents rather than operating alone. The studio ultimately shifted to a more traditional solo-focused experience centred on Bond himself. The change in direction moved the game closer to a James Bond feel and away from a Mission: Impossible-style team dynamic.

Should 007 First Light have kept its original team-based design?

Older tourists and families choose Kashubia over crowded Baltic resorts

According to Julianna Gmurek of the Tourist Information Centre in Kartuzy, older tourists and families with children are increasingly choosing the quieter Kashubia region over crowded Baltic coastal resorts. The area attracts visitors with its tranquillity, lakes and proximity to nature. Younger tourists still tend to prefer the coastal strip with its entertainment facilities.

Are the Kashubia lakes a better summer holiday choice than Baltic coastal resorts?

Homologation documents suggest the 2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 will produce less power than the current model. The news has upset the motorcycle community online, though the bike will still rank among the most powerful production superbikes available. In reality, most riders never come close to exploiting the machine's full potential outside of a racetrack straight.

Study: Summer sun alone is not enough to fix vitamin D deficiency for many

A new study found that for certain population groups, summer sun exposure alone is insufficient to correct vitamin D deficiency. Factors such as skin tone, age, geographic latitude and sunscreen use can significantly limit the body's ability to synthesise vitamin D. Researchers suggest that at-risk individuals should consider supplementation rather than relying solely on sunshine.

Should everyone supplement vitamin D year-round?
