How we survive big tech overlords

https://youtu.be/Bj0nV0YR_OM The internet is arguably one of humanity’s greatest inventions - it’s right up there alongside the plough, toilets, democracy and The Tomatan (a humanoid tomato-dispensing robot for runners designed to combat fatigue. Yes, we even got that one covered!) Even though we have more information and connections at our fingertips than any human generation…

Muslims have full right to a mosque in Warsaw

. As is well known, the Polish right-wing cannot function without whipping up moral panics, mobilizing fears of more or less imaginary threats and waging media crusades against them.

It's been better

. It seemed that in 2024 the choice between Trump - running with a message that is extremely radical even for this politician - and any elementarily competent competitor should be obvious.

Remnant democracy

From a European perspective, this US election was always going to be about more than watching from afar.

The reason for Trump's win may be very mundane

. Trump is winning and no one will dispute this victory. The Republicans take over the Senate and will most likely now have the entire Congress in their grasp.

What not to ask people in IVF?

. 1. And normally you couldn't . Those entering IVF usually have a long history of unsuccessful efforts to have a child. They often face illnesses. If they could get pregnant without IVF, I assure you they would do it right now. IVF is a way out for people who "normally" could not. The very…

Can art save us?

You might ask yourself in these weary times we are living in, walking along side conflicts, war and genocide - how can there be space to even think about art?  Well as Picasso would put it: “Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth”. Art is a reflection of our ideas, and…
