Jakub Balcerzak wrote that Ran Takahashi was set to debut in the TAURON League as a member of Bogdanka LUK Lublin. He described the 25-year-old Japanese player as someone who combined recognition among fans and collaboration with major brands with the ambition for further sports development. According to the author, the transfer to Lublin was not merely a marketing move: the club had tried to acquire the player earlier, and this year’s discussions were the third attempt. Balcerzak stated that Takahashi only now believed he was ready to play in Poland, and the prospect of playing alongside Wilfredo Leon was an important argument for him. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi started as a libero, and he became interested in volleyball thanks to his older brother Rui. He gained wider attention as an outside hitter when, in his last year of school, he led Higashiyama to the Japanese high school championship, after which he began studying at Nippon Sport Science University. Philippe Blain called him up for VNL 2021, despite his limited experience in senior volleyball, and he subsequently made it to the squad for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In his national team debut, he achieved, according to data cited by the author, 50% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 80% positive reception. Balcerzak wrote that after the 2021 national team season, Takahashi, at Blain's urging, went to Italy. In December 2021, he joined Padwa, and later moved to Monza, with which he reached the LegaVolley finals and the Challenge Cup semifinals in 2024. In the 2024 league season, he recorded 49% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. After three years in Italy, he returned to Japan after the 2024 national team season, which — as the author described — was hampered by ankle injuries and a defeat at the Olympic Games. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi became the face of the SV League project, and in the first season he won a double gold crown and almost all individual awards. After his second season in Japan, he chose Lublin, wanting to find himself in a new environment before the Los Angeles Olympics. The author stated that in the 2026 national team season, the player was among the top five volleyball players, recording 53% attacking efficiency, 39% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. He also quoted coach Stéphane Antiga’s opinion, who described Takahashi as a “complete outside hitter,” and pointed out that the player particularly valued defense, precision, and mentality. #TAURONLiga #Siatkówka #RanTakahashi #Debiut (translated)

The author of the entry asked how much young Germans knew about the victims of World War II. He wrote that their knowledge came from the German education system and included Sinti and Roma as well as homosexuals, for whom monuments were dedicated in the center of Berlin. He then contrasted this with the fate of millions of Polish victims of German aggression and occupation, but did not finish the sentence. #IIWŚ #edukacja #pamięć #DE #PL (translated)

We will see each other tomorrow - Shmoo expressed sympathy for ordinary Americans, accusing President Donald Trump of being disconnected from their problems. According to the author, 3 million people lost health insurance, tariffs increased annual family spending in stores by up to 1700 USD, fueling costs an additional 750 USD, and daycare fees rose by 850 USD. He added that factories lost 100,000 jobs, and the benefits of economic policy were enjoyed by the richest 1 percent, while the rest of society grew poorer. As a contrast, he pointed to displays of a "flying car." The author assessed that Trump's decisions over the past year were dangerous for Poland and Europe. He mentioned the exclusion of Russia from sanctions and the preparation of a peace plan without EU involvement, the withdrawal of some troops from Germany, plans to reduce 25,000–40,000 soldiers in Europe, and the chaos surrounding troop rotations in Poland. In his opinion, these actions weakened the credibility of NATO Article 5. Among other accusations, he listed tariffs on eight countries in the dispute over Greenland, the threat of 100 percent tariffs in response to the digital tax, and the use of the dispute between the government and the president in Warsaw to undermine EU unity. Shmoo wrote that the slogans of PiS and Confederation politicians about a "revolution of common sense" have aged poorly. He also criticized Karol Nawrocki for his uncritical support for Trump. #Polska #USA #Polityka (translated)

Monika Borkowska wrote that Piotr was attacked in Adam Borowski's private office without a warrant, and then was choked and tortured until he lost consciousness. According to her, a dozen people witnessed the incident, whom she spoke with. She claimed that witnesses tried to help the bleeding man, but were later treated with gas, yet the police did not listen to them. Borkowska accused TVP and PAP of spreading false information about a knife-wielding attacker who was said to have attacked a policewoman. She also criticized Adam Szłapka for speaking out against the Republic and wrote that Marcin Kierwiński did not show the recordings from police cameras, adding that, in her opinion, they were not supposed to exist. She also claimed that Piotr was still not allowed to use the assistance of a lawyer and that it was unclear in what condition he was.

She called for participation in a protest the next day at 2 PM. She added that the people gathered in the town before the Constitutional Tribunal thanked the Republic for the truth and honesty. #Protest #PrawaCzłowieka #Polska (translated)
