Do you remember, there was that thing called “customer service”. Even when your warranty ran out, you could still hope for the company to be able to help. Thanks to it the customer knew if he ever develops problems with his products, the company will be there to help. When I needed a homologation certificate […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 252
Polish politics is utterly boring nowadays. I can’t force myself to follow it closely. Some of my friends still do, shocked that Tusk did not turned out to be the saviour they hoped for, but as I had very low expectations, there is nothing that would surprise me. Tusk was doing nothing waiting to get […]
How cool it is to live in the future!
I strive to buy things locally. Preferably in brick and mortar stores, run by local businesses. I often buy second hand. Just like people used to do for centuries. Unfortunately it’s not always possible. And then, suddenly, you’re reminded that you’re living in the future. My phone case broke. That metal bit, that holds the […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 251
I haven’t written a new Meanwhile in Cuckooland for some time. The truth is, not much is happening in politics in Poland, at least compared to the shitshow we are observing across the ocean. But there is also one other thing: we were promised the change, and we just have more of the usual while […]
How dare they demand I make some effort! I am Russian!
I am watching and reading with fascination all the materials, that give me insight into the Russian Psyche. Reportages from Russian independent online TV Current Time about ordinary Russians who, when the doors from their outhouse fall apart, don’t just get a screwdriver and fix the broken hinge, but write letters to Putin instead. I […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 250
After a month from inauguration of the new Polish president Karol Nawrocki, contrary to prophecies of doom, on which the ruling Platforma Obywatelska built their whole election campaign, the world has not ended yet. This might be an unpopular opinion in Poland, but this is by large part because PO and PiS are not as […]
Post about Charlie Kirk deleted by Facebook.
As usual, it turns out that freedom of speech, that Mark Zuckenberg is so keen of, only applies to those presenting right-wing views. A Post of by Piotr Wilkin, a left wing commentator, that went viral in the Polish internet today just had been deleted. It’s author gives permission to everyone to republish it, so […]

Donald Tusk’s party is not taking the defeat in the presidential election well. True, he instantly moved to assert his dominance by calling of the vote of confidence in the parliament, which he won, but it was not enough to ensure his followers he’s capable to bring victory in the oncoming parliamentary election.

Talking Sense 13: Giuseppe Picheca on how the world order collapses around Israel
Why is the world doing nothing about the genocide happening in Gaza? Why is Israel, after murdering tens of thousands of innocent people, still able to present itself as a victim? Why is everyone complicit? Why do the big media, businesses, politicians and citizens of countries big and small still support Israel? Where are the […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 248
It is yet another time when I turned out to be right, but it does not bring me any joy. Donald Tusk’s party’s candidate, Rafał Trzaskowski, lost the presidential elections to his opponent, Karol Nawrocki, an “independent” candidate supported by PiS. Why did that happen, what PO makes of it and what can we expect? […]
