I am not suprised distrust for TVP is still high. I had oportunity to watch some news on this Channel, when I was visiting Poland this summer, and tone of reporting sounds the same to me as it did during PiS rule. The diffrence is: now PO and coaltion are good and PiS is bad.
Trust in Poland’s public media has risen for the second year running following the 2023 change in government.

However, the proportion of Poles who trust public media (35%) is still far outweighed by those who distrust it (48%).

I once said to a friend that the easiest way to judge someone's privilege is "if a single member of this group committed a high-profile violent crime, would it be treated as a justification for violence against the entire group?"

Human decency won today.
A group of five activists have been found not guilty of enabling the illegal presence in Poland of Middle Eastern migrants whom they provided aid to after they had irregularly crossed the border from Belarus.

Prosecutors had been seeking prison sentences.

Gift from my bestie. Damn, I was right to keep away from mangas. This is disaster. Where the hell I will find space for this and next 11 volumes that are already in the shipping?

First science fiction book I remember reading? I am not 100% sure, if it was really "the first", but I think it could be "Ubik" by Philip K. Dicks and "Dzienniki gwiazdowe" ("The star diaries") by Stanisław Lem
* Bajki robotów (Fables for Robots) by Stanisław Lem
* Ci z dziesiątego tysiąca (never translated to English) by Jerzy Broszkiewicz
Inspired by @scalzi.com on reading or not the Canon of science fiction...
What, bluesky scifi fans ,were the first science fiction books that you can remember reading?
For me it was
* Adrift in the Stratosphere, by AM Low
* Lensman series by EE Smith

"No one has the right to cause children to starve," Poland's foreign minister @radek-sikorski.bsky.social has told Israel.

"Even when Israel acts in self defense, it is still not exempt from respecting international humanitarian law...[as] the state occupying Gaza and the West Bank."

Maybe not pulp, pulp, but solid pop culture? My main goal is to write things that are fun to read, but I like to add some themes and messages that hopefully inspire readers to some reflections too.
What do you aim for when you write? Do you aim to write masterpieces? Do you aim to write pulp?

You can aim to write a masterpiece and fail. And you can write pulp so well people call it a masterpiece.

But what you produce depends on what you aim for. So, what do you aim for in your writing?

Criminology. When i was in my 20s I was very interested in the subject of crime, so I jump on the opportunity to sign for this class as extra elective. My major was Scientific information and library studies.
What was your favorite early clas NOT in your eventual major. Mine was Ethnomusicology: an introduction to folk music.
I invariably get, "Ooh anthro that was my favorite class/cool professor" from people I meet. I tend to think soms of it is our outré material, being willing to talk "taboo" subjects in a cross-cultural context.

Ironically MY favorite class was probably Geology 101...

Tbh I am not vibing with season 3 of "Squid game". It's one thing, that promotion of this show is contradicting - or at least undermining - it's message, but now series itself lost a plot with (SPOILERS)

One of the polish authors, Jacek Dehnel, wrote post of fb about page "about history" that is showing people AI-generated BS, instead of real historical images. From many worrying uses of this technology, this one has to be in top 5.
