Most Poles clearly assess Russian aggression in Ukraine, the imperial nature of Kremlin policy, and the threat that Russia poses to the security of our region. At the same time, the fact that about one third of respondents allow for such a meeting can be interpreted as a belief that even with an opponent, communication channels should be maintained," said Prof. Arkady Rzegocki, former ambassador of the Republic of Poland in London and Dublin, to "Rz". #G20 #Polska #Putin (translated)

Jan Betlach recommended a video from the account MorEdge_Insight, which he believed explained why the accusation that Israel was founded on "stolen land" was incorrect. He claimed that this criticism more accurately pertained to Jordan. Betlach stated that after World War I, Britain received the mandate territory of Palestine, where a Jewish national homeland was supposed to be established while protecting the rights of other inhabitants. In 1922, according to him, Britain separated about 77 percent of the territory, closed it to the Jews, and handed it over to Abdullah, the prince of Hejaz, which is today part of Saudi Arabia. He claimed that Abdullah had no relation to Transjordan and that his appointment to the throne was imposed by the British after France expelled his brother Faisal from Damascus; the League of Nations merely approved this formally, according to him. He described Jordan as a state created on territory taken from the mandate and ruled by a foreign dynasty. He added that the UN in 1947 recommended dividing the remaining 23 percent of the mandate territory west of the Jordan River, with the Jews accepting the plan and the Arabs rejecting it. Betlach asserted that Israel did not steal any land, whereas Britain divided the territory, and Arab states subsequently invaded the remainder. He argued that the accusations should be directed at Britain and Jordan, not at Israel. https://t.co/ugceLv8fS3 #Izrael #Jordánsko #historie (translated)

"Many people wished that the Voynich manuscript was created by some mad genius working the land in medieval London or anywhere else. In fact, however, the evidence suggests that it is more of a collective work, possibly a collection of pamphlets through which information was passed down from generation to generation," added Lisa Fagin Davis, who is a co-author of the new study. #Voynichůvrukopis #středověkáhistorie #mystérium (translated)

Albert Świdziński compared the planned American bases for the purchase of Apache helicopters and wrote that for huge amounts of money, solutions are being bought that — as he claimed — we already know from experience do not work. He pointed out the limited role of helicopters in the war in Ukraine as arguments, as well as the fact that the bases do not guarantee safety, which the war in the Middle East was supposed to show. He also criticized the location of the bases in Greater Poland or Lower Silesia. Using offensive language towards those supporting these plans, he wrote that they should go for conscription while he would observe the situation from London. #wojna #bezpieczeństwo #geopolityka (translated)

Tomas Kapler stated in his contribution that the discovery of two fragments of pyrite in a former clay pit near English Barnham, according to him, pushed evidence of fire being used by humans back by 350,000 years. A team from the British Museum, led by Nick Ashton and Rob Davis, found them in reddish clay, even though pyrite was not naturally present in the area, according to Kapler. Archaeologists also discovered charred and heat-cracked hand axes and soil burned at over 700 °C there. It reportedly took scientists four years to eliminate the possibility of a fire caused by lightning. Kapler wrote that research published in December 2025 in the journal Nature described the oldest unequivocal evidence that humans could make fire themselves. According to him, the previous such evidence came from Neanderthal sites in northern France and was 50,000 years old. The find from Barnham, according to Kapler, shows that humans had this ability already 400,000 years ago. Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London speculated that they were early Neanderthals, among other reasons based on finds from Swanscombe and Atapuerca. The contribution also addressed the fact that archaeological finds mainly preserve stone, while wood, leather, and plant fibers deteriorate. Kapler recalled a 35,000-year-old tool made from mammoth ivory from the German cave Hohle Fels, whose holes, according to him, allowed for the production of rope, and a six-millimeter fragment of a cord 50,000 years old found in the French Abri du Maras. Archaeologist Bruce Hardy's estimate that we know less than 10 percent of the ordinary life of prehistoric humans was linked by Kapler to the items that did not survive, such as nets, bags, bowstrings, or footwear. According to his conclusion, the image of the Stone Age captures primarily what has not perished. #Archeologie #DobaKamenná #Historie (translated)

AlkoInwestor described an informal competition among parents from his office for additional classes for children, which was set to last from the beginning of September. According to his account, the conversation started with ballet and English with a native speaker from London for seven-year-old Zuzia, after which colleagues exchanged ideas for robotics, chess, and Mandarin. Five-year-old Lenka was supposed to learn Chinese twice a week at home. The author also reported that eight-year-old Antek attended fencing and the Little Leaders Academy, where — as he heard from the boy's father — leadership, emotional intelligence, and feedback skills were taught. Monika's daughter, according to the description, had individual art lessons for 120 złoty per week because she had problems with composition, often placing the sun in the upper left corner of the drawing. AlkoInwestor wrote that after the conversation, parents began looking for contacts and available slots, although they had not previously known they needed such services. He compared these activities with his own son, who — as he indicated — went to the yard after school, and with Marek's child, who had math three times a week, English twice, programming, chess, and soccer. Marek was expected to spend almost two thousand złoty on classes from the beginning of September, and his son and the author’s son both received four grades in math. The author concluded that they achieved the same result at a lower cost. #FIRE #Edukacja #Rodzicielstwo #Kreatywność (translated)

Radosław Sikorski commented on the statements of British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, stating that Poland would welcome a potential request from the United Kingdom to return to the European Union, which suggests that London would consider membership to be the best form of participation in the single market after analysis. #WielkaBrytania #UniaEuropejska #Brexit (translated)
