I've just heard of a construction worker who assumed that a wall is level… because the level fitted straight to it. Apparently he didn't know how to check whether it's vertically level.

I'm looking at Poland's "National Map of Security Threats".
Some of them make sense. Some of them are kinda important, but aren't really "security threats" — like "begging". But the best so far is… wait for it… "groups of minors in risk of demoralization" xD.

I'm ashamed to say how many blurry or out-of-focus shots I got that afternoon. Still, fun times.

URGENT UPDATE: RUSSIAN SHAHEDS ATTACK POLAND Vlog 1163: War in Ukraine
19 Russian #drones crossed the border of #Poland, including f…
On #Poland's initiative, on the sidelines of an emergency session of the UN Security Council, a group of 48 countries and the EU Delegation issued a joint press statement on the largest violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
In the past, I've tried registering for a specialist doctor appointment over the Internet a few times. The results were roughly:
• e-registration available for gynecologist only
• license expired
• e-registration available only for new patients (I needed a followup visit)
• the only available time is 6 AM on Saturday — not that I'd mind, but I wasn't sure it was a real appointment

Urgent demonstration in solidarity with Global Sumud Flotilla in front the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MSZ) in Warsaw, Poland, 2 October 2025.
Hundreds of people expressed outrage over passive stance of Polish ministry in light of recent interceptions of the flotilla ships on international waters.
During the demonstration two activists spillt red paint and smashed the window in the entrance to the ministry. The crowd marched for several hours through the city centre despite police trying (and quickly failing) to stop them. The march concluded in front of the police station the activists had been taken to and turned into a solidemo.

As you know, an important part of every nature education trail is a sudden "no entry" sign past the second kilometre.
Yes, you're guessing right — a damaged bridge ahead. By "damaged", I mean a few minor boards are broken, not that it makes any difficulty in crossing it.

Apropos #Poland, #Ukraine and #NATO, the latest from @… is illuminating and, given it was published before the latest #PolishDrone strikes, farsighted, about the options Europe has now to prevent escalation as the US retreats...

Who can tell me WTF?
In case the photo wasn't clear: near the crossroads there's a combined bicycle and pedestrian paths, which suddenly gets narrower and becomes a bicycle-only. However, the whole length where this happens is surrounded by barriers, and there's nothing a pedestrian can reach by walking this way.
#Poland #WTF
Damn, this is a treasure trove!
(Also no clue where this was, but DZPK suggests #LowerSilesia. 2017.)

A few snaps from today's National March of Discontent in Warsaw, organized by All-Poland Alliance of Trade Unions (OPZZ).
Workers from across the country marched through the city centre carrying demands for pay raises and shorter working hours.

So I've gotten the call from my doctor. Apparently, they can't prescribe more glucometer strips to me because I'm using too many. And how many am I using? Well, approximately 10 a day, which is the bare minimum according to my diabetologist. And most of them are actually used for meals (small meals are better, right?), not "just in case". Well, they are going to see if they can do anything.
I should probably add that a pack of strips costs 6.40 PLN when refunded, but normally capitalists charge 74.05 PLN. It suffices for 10 days.

Could someone explain to me why there's a firing range just next to an #animal shelter?

Already fixed, but still funny.
Polish Ministry of Health: we issued referrals for new vaccinations.
Polish people: but the registration system doesn't work, we're getting a "business error".
MoH: yeah, we know, but it doesn't really matter, since we don't have the vaccines yet anyway.
