I am no longer being told that calling my own country “Absurdistan” is not fair. Probably because everyone sees by now, that it fully deserves this name.

Is Poland at the verge of becoming a fascist state?
I know that after over 125 pieces of my series “Meanwhile in Cuckooland”some people might be bored with all that Polish kerfuffle.

I was outside today. Britain is simply asking for it.
I ventured outside today for the first time in two weeks (I’ve been quarantined). I have been to the Polish shop, pharmacy, the supermarket and to drop some groceries to my friend, who’s under quarantine. I saw all those memes about the city being abandoned, I expected to have an “I am Legend” style experience. […]

Luckily, there is plenty of streaming services to choose from, including katoflix.pl, the Polish answer to Netflix that streams only Catholic materials.
