Jakub Balcerzak summarized the last Saturday before the start of the 2026/2027 league season. He assessed that the slogan "Beat the champion" will motivate the rivals of Michał Winiarski's team, and each of them will approach the matches with full commitment. He cited the match between Trefl and Sordyl as an example and wondered how many weaker teams would manage to play in a similar way. According to Balcerzak, Lublin was in better shape at this stage of preparations than a year earlier. He praised the creativity of Ran and Ogawa as well as the play of the latter, and positively evaluated the start of preparations for Mikołaj Sawicki, whom he considered well physically prepared. The author was pleased with Roberto Piazza's presence in the Polish club, but noted that there is a lot of work ahead for PGE Project Warszawa, as the Italian coach had only started working with the team a few days earlier. He assessed that Romano could help Warsaw achieve a major trophy this season. After the match against Lublana, he pointed out that the average age of Project's players on the court was almost 33 years. He also wrote that Śliwka's injury means at least a month off, and noted that the captain of the Polish national team has played only 31 percent of league matches in almost three years. Balcerzak called Tymoteusz Lenik one of the best Polish middle blockers from the 2005 age group and younger. He believed that Gheorghe Crețu is guiding the player well and predicted that Lenik would make it to the senior national team next season. He pointed to 22-year-old Mateusz Nowak as a possible successor to Bartłomiej Lemański in Bełchatów and as the best player of Skra during the preparation period. He described Szymon Jakubiszak as one of the leading Polish middle blockers and wrote that he should join a club competing for the Polish championship. Regarding the Italian league, Balcerzak praised Basil Dermaux's performance in Milan, where he scored 27 points, including seven aces. He indicated Hryhoriia Khotsevycha as a potential discovery of the new season of LegaVolley, and described Pardo Matia as an increasingly important player in Modena's offense. He added that his collaboration with Tizi-Oualou was going very well. Assessing the teams from Japan, Balcerzak stated that there is a lot of work ahead for Suntory Sunbirds Osaka and that the team no longer commands the same respect as in previous years. He positively evaluated the new Nagoya and the performance of Norbert Huber, while considering Osaka Bluteon the best team currently in the country, with a significant advantage over rivals.

Kevol 1d

Kevol described Lech's victory as historic and wrote that after a great mobilization, the filled Kabanos Arena witnessed a painful defeat for Śląsk. He assessed that Lech, playing at 50% capacity, scored four goals against their rivals. He highlighted Rodriguez's performance, which he deemed his best at Lech, as well as Pereira's play. He also noted that he regretted the additional goals conceded by Lech from corner kicks. #LechPoznań #Ekstraklasa #Futbol (translated)

Mickpl wrote that in less than three years, Wykop shrank from a portal with over 100,000 active users to a service that perhaps 800 people used, and its traffic resembled that of a local county portal. The author admitted that he regretted this change. He noted that the prevailing opinion of Wykop was as a place that was extremely unfriendly, but he did not fully agree with it. He described the site as a unique place where alongside an anecdote from an employee of a Norwegian laboratory about polymer synthesis, a post from Mariusz from Brighton could appear, who published a picture of his room after waking up from drinking. According to Mickpl, a similar community will not arise again in the Polish internet. He wrote that users grew up with the portal, took different paths, and later met there again, like a class reunion after years. He added that the rapid downfall of Wykop will be discussed in textbooks as an example of how not to manage a social media platform. #Wykop #społeczność #Internet (translated)

Wojciech Machulski compared the restrictions on Sunday trading and hourly alcohol sales in the People's Republic of Poland with similar solutions in the Third Republic of Poland during the government of POPiS. He wrote that although he considered these issues minor, he regretted that the small freedoms gained after 1989 were disappearing. #Wolność #Polska #HistoriePolityczne (translated)

BostonTea praised Polish services for responding to reports of planned attacks on schools. He stated that the police arrive on the scene, arrest the suspect, and confiscate weapons. He compared this to the situation in the USA, where — as he assessed — the first warning signs concerning students have been downplayed for decades. He claimed that if local and federal services reacted similarly to the Polish police, nearly all mass shootings in schools could have been avoided. He added that the perpetrators always had a long history of antisocial behavior, threats, suicide attempts, animal cruelty, or pathological activity online. In the end, he ironically criticized the police for not catching immigrants as quickly. #Polska #bezpieczeństwo #policja (translated)

Marcin Torz wrote that Marcin Kierwiński should focus on working for society in a situation of danger, rather than trying to gain political advantages. #społeczeństwo #polityka #odpowiedzialność (translated)

Mateusz Hawrot wrote that he largely agreed with Damian regarding the next edition of the "circus" in Warsaw. He pointed out that Legia was not the first to get involved in this, and similar actions had gained formal approval. He saw the source of the problem in the fact that the PZPN had ignored the issue for years and allowed various loopholes without serious consequences. He added that the association had organized nothing or provided appropriate safeguards for the future, and the effects of these neglects were visible to this day. He expressed regret over this. #Legia #PZPN #Warszawa (translated)

Szymon Janus wrote that InPost pays a corporate income tax (CIT) of about 7% of its revenue in Poland, while DHL — in which the German government holds an 18% stake — according to him pays 130,000 PLN, or 0.005%, and DPD — entirely owned by the French government — pays 13.5 million PLN, or 0.27%. Janus criticized the government's plan to raise the CIT for Polish companies, accusing the authorities of not implementing measures to counteract the outflow of money from Poland at the same time. He noted that some foreign corporations do pay taxes in Poland, mentioning Lidl and Biedronka, which — as he stated — contribute nearly 1.5 billion PLN annually. He added that, in his opinion, InPost does not use tools to transfer funds from other countries to Poland, which he considered somewhat regrettable. #CIT #podatki #gospodarka (translated)

Freedom__of_Speech wrote that the journalistic environment during the election campaign contributed, in his opinion, to associating the current president with the term "pimp." He also accused some journalists, including Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz, of political involvement under the pretense of doing their jobs. The author pointed out that he critically assessed the behavior of Konrad Berkowicz, who — as he wrote — insulted female journalists by using sexually charged language towards them. He added that the MP could have ignored the question instead of responding in that manner, and that his party colleagues would have to explain his behavior. He also claimed that Berkowicz's accounts were managed by others, and the content published there supported this narrative, exposing other politicians of the Confederation to consequences. Freedom__of_Speech critically referred to parties that — as he put it — benefited from having their own "Zembaczyński," that is, a politician confronting critics. He wrote that he assessed such behaviors similarly regardless of political affiliation, and he considered both sides of the dispute around Dobrosz-Oracz and Berkowicz equally unworthy of attention. He added that the matter diverted attention from other issues and was beneficial to the ruling party. #polityka #dziennikarstwo #Społeczeństwo (translated)

Piotr Czerniawski wrote that he hoped Maciek Gładysz and Borys Łyżeń would withdraw from junior series. He claimed that the road to F1 is blocked for years, so young drivers should move straight to LMP2 from the age of 16. He believed it was not worth risking health for a chance to race in F1, for example in Monaco or Melbourne. #motorsport #Formuła1 #wyścigi (translated)

Zbigniew Konwiński wrote that Kaczyński definitely stood in defense of Bielan. He sarcastically described Bielan as a leading patriot and an outstanding Pole, adding that in his opinion, he bore the stigma of Targowica. #Polska #Patriotyzm #Kaczyński (translated)

Patryk Spaliński regretted that the post had been removed. He wrote that he would like to see a similar proposal in the campaign for the Sejm in 2027 and estimated that Razem would then have a solid 8% of the votes. https://t.co/hJ2d1a0yeK #sejm #Razem #kampania (translated)

The Truth Preachers S.A. wrote that the Last Time channel announced the cessation of activities. They considered it a shame because, in their opinion, OR was the only place that briefly showcased the actions of the person they spoke about derogatorily. They added that after the channel's activities ended, this person would no longer gain additional reach. https://t.co/KxNObvS1sg #ostatniraz #Upoled #media (translated)

The author of the post accused Daniel Obajtek of confusing the company's financial result with the loss resulting from a specific decision. He emphasized that the accusation concerning ORLEN was not related to the accounting loss of 4.1 billion PLN in the third quarter of 2023, but rather to the damage that, in his opinion, could have been caused by a specific pricing policy. The author pointed out that the company could have made a billion-dollar profit while also suffering a loss if, without that decision, its result would have been higher. He added that an increase in sales volume did not rule out losses on margin from lowered prices. He assessed that a person who publicly struggles to distinguish these concepts should not have been in charge of the largest Polish corporation. Obajtek's subsequent posts also prompted him to ponder how the former CEO of ORLEN ended up in that position. #ORLEN #finanse #polityka (translated)

Radosław Sikorski thanked Karol Nawrocki for organizing the visit, which — as he wrote — took place with the full support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the rest of the government. He added that the president persistently refused to sign the ambassadorial nomination of the professional diplomat heading the Polish embassy in Manila. #dyplomacja #polityka #ambasada (translated)

The authorities in action reported that a 21-year-old, who fatally hit a pedestrian during an illegal race in Nowy Sącz, did not admit to participating in the race. According to the entry, he told the prosecutor that he is ready to show remorse by apologizing to the victim's family. The author added that the court detained him for three months. https://t.co/FFOvdDjxSv #wypadek #prawo #szkoda (translated)

Student protests in France have intensified, leading to the arrest of 5,060 people, including 87% minors, and numerous clashes with the police, which resulted in serious injuries and significant property damage. #ProtestyUczniów #Francja #Zamieszki (translated)

Roman Warszawski reported that his closest friend Waldemar Krysiak, known as Myślozbir, passed away during the night. He wrote that Krysiak was a voice known to thousands of people on the internet, and to him — one of the closest people. He asked for the message to be conveyed to those who knew Krysiak, read him, watched him, or were associated with him over the years. He added that information about the farewell would be shared when it becomes possible. #szkoda #przyjaciel #pamięć (translated)

Greg asked if this was how the situation was supposed to look, and accused the wealthier people of fleeing to villas in Spain while ordinary people were left to die. He suggested that the reason was that the owners were concerned about protecting a few rental apartments in Warsaw and Krakow from the Russian tanks. https://t.co/FWExkoWD5k #Polska #Nieruchomości #Społeczeństwo (translated)

Bogdan Rymanowski wrote that Lewy scored a hat-trick, but instead of flying to Zenica, he was supposed to go to Chicago, which he considered a significant loss. He noted that the draw between Bosnia and Sweden flattened the table and once again gave Poland hope. He added that even in weaker form, Lewy remained, in his opinion, the best Polish "number nine," and he wondered whether he should be replaced by Żukowski or Reguła, who that day showed — as he assessed — the potential to become a star. Rymanowski also warned against excessive euphoria, arguing that Romania was the weakest team in the group and that day played with ten men. #Lewandowski #Reprezentacja #PiłkaNożna (translated)
