The year 2024 is nearly over. I am not writing as much of my Absurdistan columns because, frankly speaking, Polish politics got really boring and predictable now, at least for the people who, like me, didn’t expect too much from Donald Tusk’s led coalition. But as some of the readers reached out to me to […]

Elon Musk’s new invention is utterly stupid. As usual.
I am watching a movie clip about Elon Musk’s Tesla Cyber cab and I am going to tell you why it is a completely stupid vehicle. This guy just don’t understand how vehicles that are not toys should be designed. Yeah, here we go again, I just had a Deja Vu moment: I am […]

Apparently, the election campaign in Poland is at full spin already. The opposition march in Warsaw on 4th of September turned out well. The number of participants had been estimated as high as half a million (a friend of mine passed at the end of the march, several kilometers from the finishing line, and while […]

Perhaps re-thinking of our visa politics towards “ordinary Russians” is long overdue?
A sticker with Ukraine appeared on my car just after Russia began its new wave of invasion into Ukraine. I know, it’s just an empty gesture, but I simply wanted to express somehow my solidarity with the victims of Russian imperialism. For the 6 months of 2022, I still lived in Scotland, this sticker was […]
