I’d say our paper with @bogatyrev.bsky.social is aging well so far :) Read our predictions from two years ago here: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

Polish PM apologises to same-sex couples, pledges to recognise marriages conducted in other EU states Prime Minister Donald Tusk has apologised to same-sex couples for the “years of rejection and humiliation” they have experienced due to Poland not legally recognising their relationships.

Poland has legally recognised a same-sex relationship for the first time, after the city of Warsaw complied with a court order to transcribe into its civil registry a marriage between two Polish men that took place in Germany.

Compare just how AI-pilled your academic community is (based on the data from Nautre survey N=5229). Seeing physicists in third place, not far from computer science, is not a surprise, but it still makes me sad.

In Poland, whether you are secularised or not determines your voting choices (income much less so). This is either obvious (if you don't remember Poland 25 years ago) or not at all (if you remember JP2-Solidarity synergy).

Doszliśmy do ściany w dotychczasowych formach protestu. Podejmowane przez nas działania nie przyniosły żadnego skutku. Idziemy więc o krok dalej – mówi @michaltomza.bsky.social, jeden z inicjatorów rozpoczynającej się dziś akcji „3% dla nauki, 100% dla Polski”. forumakademickie.pl/palenia-opon...

To be absolutely clear: there is no excuse for you to continue posting on X. None. You are doing it out of convenience, maybe habit, because you don‘t want to give up your followers. “If we all leave, it’s going to be worse” stopped making sense a long time ago.

Poland and Belarus have carried out a prisoner exchange negotiated with the support of the United States. Among those handed over to Poland is Andrzej Poczobut, a journalist and leader of Belarus’s ethnic Polish minority, who has been imprisoned on political charges since 2021.

Hello, Bonjour, Γειά σου, Hallo, Ciao, Здравейте, Ahoj, Olá, Hoi, Labas… 👋

🇺🇸🇵🇱🗳️ We really need JD Vance to visit Poland just before the 2027 vote and endorse PiS.

94% of votes counted, with a clear 2/3 majority for Magyar's Tisza projected. And not to spoil the mood, but the new parliament will be composed solely of right- to far-right parties. Next to the right-wing Tisza and far-right Fidesz, extreme-right Mi Hazánk also seems to have won 7 seats. #Hungary

Proud to have "Nonbinary Gender Economics" out in JPE Micro. We document the economic experiences and preferences of nonbinary individuals—a population of 1M+ in the US that is often overlooked.

I’ve just heard Polish Minister of Economic Development say that “Poland’s main engine of growth is that Poles are never satisfied”, and it’s probably the truest explanation of our successes

Calling for “viewpoint diversity” on university campuses implies that all viewpoints are equally valid; that the content of viewpoints is irrelevant. But there are reasons why some disciplines may be politically skewed

Wałęsa is many things, one of them being his refusal of using violence to change regime. Solidarność had a tiny minority of "let's kill communists" people, Leszke and his intelligentsia brothers in arms never got into that.

Four years of extraordinary courage. 🇺🇦 Ukraine’s fight for freedom is the fight for our shared European values. The EU stands united in its unwavering support against Russia's war of aggression. We are with you for as long as it takes. #StandWithUkraine

4 years of bravery. 4 years of sacrifice. 4 years of unbreakable spirit. 4 years of defending freedom. For us. For you. For #Ukraine. For Europe. We 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇵🇱 stand behind you 🇺🇦 - as long as it takes.

that’s so cool

News from Poland. Apparently the Americans have started circulating form letters nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize - all the nation in question has to do is sign it. The Speaker of the Sejm told them to fuck off and the US Ambassador has had a meltdown.

No progress in Poland to ease the strict abortion ban because of anti-choice politics or reluctance in the gov't - but five years after Poland's top court gutted abortion rights, access to legal abortion has expanded a bit – only for women who learned to work within a system designed to say ‘no’.

⚡️ Poland is sending a new military aid package to Ukraine.

The US has cut all contact with the speaker of Poland's parliament because of his "outrageous insults" against President Trump. In response, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told the US ambassador that "allies should respect, not lecture, each other".

A majority in Poland believe that the US is no longer a reliable ally, according to a new poll. It follows a number of other recent surveys indicating that Poles - normally among the most pro-American Europeans - have much more negative views of the US since Donald Trump's return to the White House

The Polish government is sending 379 power generators from its strategic reserves to Ukraine, where Russian attacks have left many without heat and power. Meanwhile, the city of Warsaw is providing an additional 90 generators and a public appeal has raised €1.6 million to buy more equipment.

🇵🇱🇺🇸 Nawrocki faces his first, major, entirely self-inflicted conundrum: should he join a thing that Putin and Lukashenka were invited to? If he says "yes", Tusk gets a free penalty kick that he won't miss; if he says "no", what if he loses his coveted "Trump whisperer" status?

State research agency CBOS has found its highest-ever level of support in Poland for the introduction of same-sex civil partnerships. Over 62% are now in favour, up from 52% last year and just 25% in 2011, when the question was first asked.
