Our weather is shit 7 months in a year but we have seven shades of mildly nauseating dudes who, after a deeper reflection, think that the 2020 abortion ban was not the best idea ever.

Have you ever tried explaining to a foreigner the difference between truskawka and poziomka?

Poland is a country with a rich selection of berries, mayonnaise and economically liberal but socially conservative centre - right political parties.

A newly sworn-in Constitutional Tribunal judge says he will not take his seat until four colleagues appointed by parliament are allowed to take theirs. He said their appointments had been blocked "unlawfully", in the latest twist in a long-running dispute.

This could be a 2027 post-elections question, if we end up with a Tusk-Morawiecki coalition (not impossible).

Pro-PiS "political analysis with a humorous twist" anonymous accounts trying to shift the narrative to various failings of the Tusk government while ignoring the fire inside the house:

- Ur dumb! - No ur dumb! - Ur policies were shit! - Those were also your policies! - No, because you never told us about them! - I implemented them because your boss told me to! - Our boss has been deceived by you into implementing these policies! - No, ur dumb.

"Mateusz Zdradzeusz" (Matteo Traitoreo, loosely) aimed at former PM Morawiecki is something you'll only hear until you finish the first half of primary school, at the latest. What a time to be alive.

Watching the PiS split manifest itself through 45yo dudes slinging kindergarten sandbox-grade insults (and I think I'm insulting kindergarten kids here) on Twitter, what a time to be alive.

excuse me

🇵🇱⚖️🏳️‍🌈Like a clockwork. Ironically, governmental decrees - which aren't subject to presidential signature (and so, veto or getting sent to the Constitutional Tribunal) emerge as a more certain avenue of lawmaking.

Also an opportunity to recall one of the better Polish academic memes.

🇵🇱🍺🍓🍐 Happy to inform @benstanley.eu that I found his final boss as far as funky Polish beers are concerned.

Oh Christ, Cleese really has gone full fash. What a disappointment.

Home Office used ‘AI hallucinated’ information to refuse asylum claim, judge suggests

I also gotta say that @visegradinsight.bsky.social are super good at knocking together some good visuals quickly. Sulyok tipping his hat just as he exits the Hungarian political life for good (?) is just chef's kiss.

🇭🇺⚖️🇵🇱 It's never not weird when something I write in English gets picked up by a Polish outlet and translated, inevitably leading to some funky language that makes you think that I've only started learning Polish a while ago. www.onet.pl/informacje/v...

Magyar's removal of the President and the head of Constitutional Court is a drastic move. Yet, it does not leave the best impression of conduct by a majority that vowed to hew close to the ideals of the rule of law while reforming the country, writes @jakubjaraczewski.bsky.social: shorturl.at/MuAdU

Nets4Dem is entering its next phase 👏 Over the last three years, Nets4Dem has grown into a connected community of practitioners, researchers and institutions across Europe.

Unfortunately, these just plain don't work as advertised. The best air defence you can have is a cat on the balcony (and cat netting that also keeps birds away).
