@Robert_Kita @murczkiewiczyzm Mikołaj is a jester

@murczkiewiczyzm It is not Hodge but "chodź" which means: come. It is pronauced in the same way but you just call on yor dog that way. Chodź, chodź. Come here.😄

Why are dogs in Poland so commonly called 'Hodge'? I even saw a woman with two dogs in the park. They ran off in different directions, she called out this common name "Hodge" and the first one came to her. Then she called out "Hodge 2" and the second one came back. Ok fair enough if the name is really popular and great for our four legged friends use it I don't mind that much but why not give the poor second dog a different name like Fluffy or Rex or something? Must get confusing like in families where the son is named after the dad or something.

The Silenced Voice of Eugeniusz Bodo: There was a time when his face was everywhere in Poland. On cinema screens, in cabarets, in the quiet hum of radios across Warsaw apartments, his voice carried something light, something human, something hopeful. Eugeniusz Bodo was not simply an entertainer. He was a symbol of a country that still believed in tomorrow. Born in 1899, he rose to become one of the most beloved figures of prewar Polish culture. Actor, singer, director, and producer, Bodo embodied the spirit of interwar Poland: vibrant, modern, and alive with possibility. His performances were effortless, often playful, but never shallow. He understood something essential about people, that they needed laughter not because life was easy, but because it was not. In the 1930s, Polish cinema flourished, and Bodo stood at its center. Films like “Piętro wyżej” made him a household name. His songs, especially the hauntingly gentle “Umówiłem się z nią na dziewiątą,” became part of the cultural memory of a nation. He was not just performing. He was helping Poland imagine itself as something joyful and whole in the fragile years between wars. And then, like so many lives of that era, his story was interrupted. When war came in 1939, it did not arrive as a single blow, but as a tearing apart. First from the west, then from the east. Poland was carved, occupied, silenced. For artists like Bodo, whose identity was bound to culture and expression, there was no safe place to stand. He fled eastward, likely believing it offered refuge. Instead, he entered a different kind of darkness. Arrested by the Soviet NKVD, Bodo was accused of being a foreign spy. It was a tragic irony. Though deeply tied to Poland, he held Swiss citizenship through his father, a detail that in the logic of Soviet paranoia became a death sentence. He was imprisoned, interrogated, and ultimately sent into the vast machinery of the Gulag. There, in the frozen expanse of Soviet labor camps, the voice that once filled theaters was reduced to silence. He died in 1943, far from the country that had loved him, far from the stage that had given him life. Not in applause, but in obscurity. Not in light, but in cold. For years, even the truth of his death was obscured. Like so many Polish victims of Soviet repression, his story was buried beneath politics, silence, and the reshaping of history. He did not fit easily into narratives that preferred simplicity over truth. Still, memory has a way of returning. Today, Eugeniusz Bodo stands not only as a figure of cultural brilliance, but as a reminder of something deeper. That the war did not only destroy armies and borders, but voices. That it reached into theaters, into songs, into the fragile spaces where people tried to live normally, and extinguished them. His life asks a quiet question that echoes across generations: what is lost when a nation’s artists are silenced? Not just entertainment - not just beauty, but the very language through which people understand themselves. To remember Bodo is to remember a Poland that laughed before it was broken and to understand that behind every number, every statistic of war and repression, there was once a human being who sang, who created, who was loved. He made people smile in a world that was about to forget how. And for that alone, he deserves to be remembered.

@MerriamWebster Bring back “overmorrow” since there is no modern equivalent for a “day after tomorrow”. For balance get rid of “fortnight” because there is rarely an event occurring exactly two weeks later.

The word 'clue' was originally a variant spelling of 'clew,' meaning “ball of thread or yarn.” Our modern sense of clue, “guide to the solution of a mystery,” grows out of a motif in myth and folklore, the ball of thread that helps in finding one’s way out of a maze.

@rolfetta @TheFl0orIsLaVa Wine and pizza? Yuck 🤢

@TheFl0orIsLaVa We, napoletans 🇮🇹, invented the pizza. And we drink wine with our pizza. Leave Pepsi to others, please

This is Wild. Deutsche Bank has developed an index that helps to predict the next TACO by Trump. It has proven effective in previous big Trump pivots. The "Pressure index" combines one-month change in approval ratings, one-year inflation expectations and performance of the S&P 500 & t-bill yields. The higher it goes, the greater the chances of 🌮

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

@k4b313 @Clint_Davey1 @Bart_Wielinski “Less significant” to be more precise.

@k4b313 @Clint_Davey1 @Bart_Wielinski “Lesser Poland” implies in English exactly “insignificant”. Therefore better translation would be “Small Poland”. You will get it, I promise 😁

Poles can you explain this to me?

@adeyevmadeyev @Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada Your reading comprehension needs some serious work. Good luck, bottom feeder.

@VtekP @Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada Ty for proving my point, Zbigniew. 🤣😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤡🤡

We have set up a phone line for friends and family of passengers on Air Canada Express flight #AC8646 on Mar. 22,2026; they can call 1-800-961-7099 for assistance.

@MarcoRedwolf @yivoinstitute And you know that exact ratio how?

@yivoinstitute That Polish Citizens assisted the NAZIS in the murder of Polish Jews is indisputable. That Polish Citizens saved Jews from the NAZIS is also indisputable . The issue is the ratio of those that helped the Nazis and those that helped Jews . That is what the Poles want to hide.

Jan Grabowski addresses how selective reinterpretation of the Holocaust emerges in political rhetoric and public culture, and what distinguishes distortion from legitimate historical debate. Part of the Poland vs. Holocaust History Series.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

@Kira__Kovalyova @tosportz @AirCanada Wasn’t talking to you, but if you were real pilot, you wouldn’t blame DEI and pilots for this tragedy. Another thing, as a (supposed) woman pilot, you shouldn’t miss the irony in ranting about DEI. Many of your male colleagues would see you as DEI hire. Sunny skies 😉

@VtekP @tosportz @AirCanada You don't say? Thanks for explaining this to me, a pilot who has landed on this exact runway almost a hundred times, as recently as Friday.

@adeyevmadeyev @Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada Oh look, another have-not believing that flying provides some status symbol. You outed yourself buddy. Sorry you got left behind 🤷🏻‍♂️

@VtekP @Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada Lmao. When has your freeloading welfare ass been on a plane? Imagine you could ever afford to leave your basement or your 1 horse town.😂😂🤣🤡🤡

@Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada Well, didn’t you repost this? Besides, Carney doesn’t have blood of thousands on his hands, so there’s that little detail. ⬇️

@VtekP @AirCanada So if you inherently believe all citizens of a country are the "stooges" to their leader, does that make you a Mark Carney, communist stooge yourself?

@Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada I don’t want Putin stooge as my pilot. Good call Air Canada.

@AirCanada Stop hiring 3rd world DEI hires would be a more effective solution. I applied for a job as a pilot with you, & was openly told I wasn't brown enough for your quotas. Everyone in 🇨🇦 should be scared to fly with Air Canada who only hires Indians, 50% of whom have fake credentials.

@tosportz @Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada Ground traffic is under Ground Control responsibility. They told them to stop several times.

@Kira__Kovalyova @AirCanada And it literally wasn’t the pilots fault it was the air traffic controller that approved the instruction that caused this collision And trust me he was not a “brown Indian dei hire” 🤡

-cease and desist -null and void -aid and abet -free and clear -ways and means Why is law stuff like this always two words? These are called ‘legal doublets’ and we can once again blame the Normans. 🧵⬇️

Great quality footage of joint Soviet - German parade in 1939 in Brest-Litovsk after Hitler and Stalin tore apart Poland in coordinated attack. German Nazi and Soviet Bolsheviks were best friends until June 1941.
