MP Bodnar posts photo with dead fish, sparks online backlash

MP Izabela Bodnar of the Centrum party posted a holiday photo featuring dead fish on social media ahead of the World Cup final, triggering a wave of critical comments online. She responded to the backlash with: "Don't be hypocrites" and "If someone finds it offensive…". The controversy centres on the ethics of a politician publicly displaying dead animals.

Should MP Bodnar have apologised for posting the photo with dead fish?

"Be strong" advice drove me mad — mum of leukemia child on real support

Agata Krasner, whose daughter Zosia was diagnosed with leukemia at age four, says well-meaning advice like "you have to be strong" drove her mad and made her avoid those offering it. What she found most valuable was simply having someone present — no scripts, no universal tips. Her account highlights how damaging generic encouragement can be for parents of seriously ill children.

Does advice like "you have to be strong" do more harm than good?

Russian advances stall as Ukraine reclaims ground in the south-east

Moscow continues to press in the Donbas, but in the south-east Ukrainian forces are gradually reclaiming lost ground. Analysts are debating whether this marks the start of a turning point or a temporary stabilisation.

Can Ukraine turn the frontline situation around for good?

Japan logs its first ever 'cruelly hot day' as Gifu and Aichi hit 40°C

Japan recorded its first official kokushobi — "cruelly hot day" — since the designation for temperatures above 40°C was introduced by the Japan Meteorological Agency in April. On Tuesday, Gujo and Tajimi in Gifu prefecture and Toyota in Aichi prefecture all hit 40°C; Gujo's 40°C and Toyota's 40.1°C were all-time highs for their weather stations. Authorities advised workers to wear shorts to the office to cope with the extreme heat.

Do new official labels for extreme weather events help protect people?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy is highlighted as an underrated fantasy masterpiece capable of hooking readers within just 10 pages. While the genre boasts celebrated titles like The Lord of the Rings and the Stormlight Archive, Abercrombie's series has been largely overlooked. It combines a dark tone, vivid characters and surprising plot twists.

Hormuz Strait May Stay Closed Until Late 2027, Pushing Oil to $200/barrel

Energy analysts warn that a free and open Strait of Hormuz may not be restored until late 2027. A closure of the critical waterway could push crude oil prices as high as $200 per barrel and US gasoline to $7.00 per gallon. The strait is a vital chokepoint for global oil supplies.

Should the world urgently seek alternative oil supply routes bypassing the Strait of Hormuz?

Polish Shoppers Can't Resist Discounts – Three Quarters Buy on Impulse

Nearly three-quarters of Polish consumers give in to promotions and buy unplanned items, according to market data. Despite slowing inflation, the number of promotional offers in retail chains continues to rise, with discounters recording the biggest jump. Retailers are deliberately exploiting this behaviour to drive sales.

Should stores limit promotions to protect consumers from impulse buying?

British intelligence bugged a mansion to eavesdrop on Nazi POW generals

During World War II, British intelligence converted a country mansion into a sophisticated listening post for high-ranking Nazi prisoners of war. German generals relaxed and talked freely upstairs, unaware that Jewish refugees working as spies and translators were recording them from the basement. The house is now open to visitors as a historical site.

Was it ethical for British intelligence to use Jewish refugees as secret agents?

A draft speech prepared for President Richard Nixon in the event that the Apollo 11 astronauts failed to return from the Moon remains stored in the US National Archives. The document was written as a contingency in case Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were stranded or killed on the lunar surface in July 1969. It serves as a haunting reminder of the enormous risk taken during the historic mission.

Introverts and extroverts recharge differently — here's what psychology says

Psychology professor Piotr Oleś explains that how people rest is determined by personality type. Extroverts gain energy from loud, social events like rock concerts, while introverts recharge through quiet, low-stimulation activities such as classical music. The difference is rooted in how the brain processes external stimuli, meaning the ideal rest for one type can be exhausting for the other.

Should personality type determine how you choose to rest?
