Mickpl wrote that Stano boasted about Channel Zero's EBITDA at 25 million. He compared this amount with the results of BloomBit, a mobile game producer, and 11bit, which — as he noted — creates games outside the AAA segment. In his opinion, this is not much for a medium described as one of the greatest media forces in Poland, although he also acknowledged that Channel Zero is not a bad media product. The author pointed out that the problem of the Polish economy is, in his opinion, the lack of investors despite available capital. He assessed that the capitalization of the Polish stock market is low and depends on the decisions of Western investment banks. He also wrote that Poles invest money in apartments or keep it in non-interest-bearing checking accounts; according to him, half of the primary market in the seven largest cities goes to investment purposes. He compared the 19 percent tax on stock market profits with an 8.5 percent flat rate on rental income. Mickpl assessed that the economy relies on construction, despite the poor demographic situation and unfavorable forecasts. He stated that in the West, Channel Zero could already have three helicopters and a stock market debut behind it, and revenues from collaborations and royalties from YouTube would only be an additional gain. He presented this as an example, in his opinion, of a flawed system. #KanałZero #Gospodarka #Inwestycje (translated)

Maciej Kawecki from This Is IT wrote that Tesla presented a new generation of the Roadster yesterday with a SpaceX package, which — as he claimed — allows the car to perform jumps and maneuvers in the air. He described the solution as a technical effect rather than a special effect. According to Kawecki, high-pressure COPV tanks with hundreds of liters of compressed air were to be placed behind the rear seats. The onboard computer was supposed to control valves and actuators, releasing gas through nozzles around the body. The author wrote that impulses of compressed air were meant to enable short lift-offs from the ground, stabilization in flight, and faster acceleration. He emphasized that the nozzles would not be used for continuous flying, and aerodynamic elements and fans were to press the car to the road during normal driving. Kawecki praised the precision of the SpaceX teams and pointed out that three Poles were supposed to work on the Roadster. He added that Bison Fellowship scholars were to meet with them and congratulated the creators of the car. The post was accompanied by a video from Tesla. #Tesla #Roadster #SpaceX (translated)

At the end of May 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney said in an interview with CBC that the government wants to, among other things, reduce Canada's dependence on purchases of American weapons and added that over 70 cents of every dollar Canada spends on armaments currently goes to the US. #Kanada #helikoptery #wojnaCelna (translated)

In August, Secretary of State Stephen Fuhr, who is responsible for military orders, said in an interview with the French-speaking Radio-Canada that it would be difficult for Canadians to currently accept granting military orders to companies from the USA, and the trade war has strengthened the government's intentions regarding cooperation with other countries in Europe and Asia. #Kanada #helikoptery #wojnaCelna (translated)

The Baron of Øresund questioned whether there had been Russian drones over Denmark or if the country had been attacked by a "capable actor," as the government had claimed according to him. He also wrote that politicians and the media had suggested or speculated that Russia was behind the explosion of Nord Stream. He further wrote that there had not been a provocation or a test of NATO when Russia fired a flare at a Danish helicopter, which according to him was flying too close to a Russian warship. He asked when what he described as lies, deception, and misinformation would be regarded as war propaganda. #Misinformation #Krigspropaganda #Rusland (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that a new video, in his opinion, showed a Danish helicopter flying close to a Russian warship, and that the helicopter may have itself been the provocateur in the episode. He referred to Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus calling the video a Russian misinformation campaign and saying that some of the material did not originate from the day in question. The Baron of Øresund asked which parts did, and whether it included the footage of the helicopter near the ship. If it did, he believed that the Russians were justified in reacting as they did, under international law. He wrote that the Folketing and the media should demand answers, but that he did not have high hopes that they would do so. #forsvarspolitik #russiskkrig #modinformation (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)

Aleksander Twardowski wrote that at the beginning of the current term, among the MPs of Poland 2050, there was an instruction circulating on how to finance car rentals using funds from the Chancellery of the Sejm. According to his account, one of the party's MPs was advised to have the leasing agreement made with a friendly or related company, which would then rent the car to the MP. Twardowski noted that he obtained this information from an acquaintance who had participated in such a conversation. The author claimed that this solution would allow for the later purchase of the car by the company and its resale to the MP. In his assessment, a similar mechanism was used by MP Gomoła. He added that the MP who was supposed to convey the instructions and was still a member of Poland 2050 also rented a car that, according to Twardowski's informant, could ultimately become his property. Twardowski referred to a statement by Jerzy Woźniak, the Deputy Head of the Chancellery of the Sejm, made in August to the WP portal. Woźniak was said to have stated that a rental agreement financed by the Chancellery could not provide for a purchase option. According to Twardowski, the principle was to prevent a situation in which an MP would pay for the rental from the parliamentary lump sum for four years and then buy the car for a small amount. The author assessed that Gomoła's case might not be an isolated incident, but part of a broader strategy. He addressed a question to the Speaker of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, regarding a change in regulations. He also wrote that the Speaker's order does not specify what means of transportation can be rented with the lump sum for conducting parliamentary office work and pointed out that, in his opinion, an MP could account for the rental of a helicopter for 5,000 zł in this way. #jawnosc #PL2050 #sejm #transparencja (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)
