Acosti 40m

Acosti argued that Călin Georgescu's opponents were afraid of him because, in his opinion, they could not conceive that someone could act out of conviction and patriotism, without seeking a position or reward. He stated that Georgescu selflessly loved his country and possessed qualities such as stature, eloquence, and soul. The author accused Georgescu's critics of confusing position and wealth with value and respect, mentioning cars like the BMW X6 and Range Rover. He argued that dignity and character could not be obtained through positions, company cars, or image campaigns, and that power belonged to the Romanian people. Acosti further stated that the opponents' fear stemmed from the comparison with Georgescu, whom he described as a respected man without invoking his position. In his view, his presence made the imperfections of the critics more visible, and they were afraid of what they lacked. #România #Patriotism #Dreptate (translated)

Jacek Piekara deemed reports of a threat against Donald Tusk to be "laughable." He claimed that they were an attempt to cover up a drug and violence scandal involving a man whom, as he wrote, Tusk had previously praised and who had been assured a political career by him. https://t.co/03Ar34Bt7B #Polska #Tusk #Polityka (translated)

The author of the post wrote that the matter started "innocently," and he claimed that it was revealed that the father-in-law of Deputy Minister of Justice Myrcha, who is also the father of MP Gajewska, had covered up the case of burying a man alive in the past. #Polska #polityka #sprawiedliwość #PL (translated)

Magda 4d

Magda referred to Sławomir Mentzen's statements about women in police uniforms, writing that he portrayed them as too weak and obstructive to men, and also suggested that they should not serve in the police. She called it a manifestation of "fragile masculinity." The author also wrote that when a journalist asked Konrad Berkowicz whether he served in the army, instead of answering, he used an offensive term towards her. Magda noted that both politicians from the Confederation spoke about strength and masculinity, but — as she put it — they did not handle women asking them uncomfortable questions well. #Męskość #Równość #KobietywMundurze (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that despite possible reluctance towards Merz, he pulled Berlin away from pursuing Russian gas and the Chinese market for the automotive industry. According to the author, this also meant a departure from accepting Russia's political-territorial expansion and China's economic-trade expansion. #Berlin #Polska #Geopolityka #DE #RU #CN (translated)

Bernard Colas wrote that Tommaso Ciampa had lived "a real dream" in Paris for #AEWGrandSlam. According to him, the wrestler described the Parisian audience as the best in the world and discovered the city for the first time. Colas reported that Ciampa had walked nearly 15,000 steps, passing by the Arc de Triomphe, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre-Dame Cathedral. The wrestler had also done video calls with Jessie and Willow, and then with his mother, to show them the Eiffel Tower. He finally thanked Paris and said he couldn't wait to return to his daughters and dogs. #AEWGrandSlam #Paris #Catch (translated)

Jacek Piekara wrote that in his ideal world, a man who kills a couple with a child while driving over 300 km/h would be sentenced to death. He added that if he were a judge, he would sign such a sentence without hesitation. #sprawiedliwość #prawo #życie (translated)

Dawid Kamizela wrote that, in a sense, he admired the honesty and determination of Deputy Wilk. He claimed that despite the ongoing evidence of Russia's hostility towards Poland presented to him by dozens of people and Russia itself, the deputy remained unfazed. https://t.co/VNXxwxZxfT #Polska #Polityka #Szczerość (translated)

Only Romania reported that CTP was asked why the public should believe that he is not willfully denigrating Georgescu, after admitting that he had acted this way in the case of Vadim, and that it could not later be proven that Georgescu was innocent. According to the post, CTP ironically responded that, if that were to happen, people should hit him on the street. The author then asked what kind of journalist CTP was, how he could still be trusted, and why he continued to be invited to shows by other journalists. #jurnalism #adevăr #media (translated)

ADA 5d

ADA warned that those to whom it was addressed would one day answer for the tears caused, the sleepless nights, and the destruction of an entire family. It added that the harm done would return to them a hundredfold and invoked the greatness of God. https://t.co/7BHbj3L7MU #Dumnezeu #Familie #Justiție (translated)

Greg 6d

Greg wrote that he was not surprised by the difficulties men faced in finding a partner, which he found to be particularly significant in the current period. He mentioned that he struggled with this himself 10 years earlier, and in his opinion, the rise of Tinder and Instagram, as well as the increasing hypergamy, had made the situation even more difficult. He added that he felt sorry for the men who — as he assessed — now had it even harder than he did. #miłość #relacje #randki (translated)

A critic of the Soviet Union accused Mentzen and Stanowski of misogyny and incel attitudes. He wrote that their message was meant to deepen the frustrations of young men and hinder them from building confidence and maturing. In his opinion, the values they promoted—selfishness, contempt, and cynicism, especially towards women—discouraged young people from relationships and taking responsibility for others. He added that because of this, the country was losing many valuable people. #mizoginia #incel #psychologia (translated)

Actu Foot stated that Michael Olise and Rayan Cherki had been showcasing technical skills during warm-up, calling them "two geniuses." The video was credited to Dounia Mesli. https://t.co/YcXKBxsfXD #Football #Technique #Génies (translated)

Maggie Python described the situation in Belweder as a serious problem for Karol Nawrocki and assessed that if Donald Tusk communicates it well, Nawrocki may end his political career. She recalled that he was to be presented as an ordinary man from a block of flats, who carried washing machines, and referred to the slogan "First Poland, second Poles." In her opinion, this image quickly gave way to a picture of a palace surrounded by gold. Python wrote that Nawrocki was expected to meet the demands of PiS, the Confederation, and football hooligans, and his journey from social lows was supposed to be part of this narrative. She added that the contrast between this image and matters concerning horses, the term "Nawrocki for sale," and his business and social connections could irritate some of his voters. The author recalled that she had previously described Nawrocki as a politician operating on an anti-Tusk autopilot and predicted that he would eventually stumble. She wrote that he collided with a wall and expressed satisfaction. She also criticized disappointed KO voters, predicting that in 2027 the right would go to the polls to save her, while her side would again choose to grill — as she believed was the case in 2025. #Polska #Polityka #Tusk (translated)

Roman Warszawski ironically called the described man a "terrible homophobe." He wrote that he did not apologize for his orientation and showed many people who only knew gay men from right-wing propaganda that he is just like any other man, except that he is attracted to men. He directed the post to Mathieu Morelle and Myslozbira. #homofobia #akceptacja #tolerancja (translated)

Actu Foot relayed, citing L’Équipe, that Michael Olise did not always understand the personality of Rayan Cherki and had not appreciated some of his antics during training during the World Cup. The account added that any influence between the two players should be exercised on the field. #Football #Mondial #OliseCherki (translated)

Piegziu 1w

Piegziu wrote that while ordering food at McDonald's in Yokohama, a man approached him and his wife who spoke to them in Polish with an accent. He stated that the man was from Uzbekistan and had worked in Krakow for several years. Piegziu noted that the era of relative linguistic safety may have already passed abroad. #Polska #Japonia #język (translated)

Greg asked what the point was of granting privileges to the military, including early retirements, since — as he wrote — it is officially said that in the event of war, every man will end up on the front. He also wondered whether a war other than defensive was planned. #wojna #emerytura #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Politicalmeme wrote that young men in Poland retired five years later, despite living shorter lives, and were statistically losing in child and alimony cases. He also claimed that men led in suicide and work accident statistics, apartments were very expensive, and mandatory conscription applied only to them. #Polska #emerytura #życie (translated)

Przemo75 wrote that politicians mistakenly assumed that vetoing and blocking actions, as well as actually paralyzing the government's work, would meet with applause and translate into a rise in ratings. He compared this situation to that of Hołownia, who — as he assessed — initially gained great popularity and broke its records, but over time lost voters' interest. #polityka #rząd #społeczeństwo (translated)
