Felieton Tomasza Olbratowskiego

Donald Trump zapowiada najpiękniejsze mistrzostwa świata w historii. Patrząc jednak na grzechotniki, strzelaniny i problemy na granicy, może się okazać, że mecze będą najmniej emocjonującą częścią całego turnieju. Jedno jest pewne – mistrzostwa świata w USA mogą oddzielić chłopców od łapaczy grzechotników. Szkoda tylko Telewizji Polskiej. Bez naszej kadry trudniej będzie uzasadnić półtoragodzinne studia przed i po meczu, zwłaszcza gdy analizowanym hitem dnia będzie starcie Wybrzeża Kości Słoniowej z Curaçao.

In this episode we step into the world of theatre and storytelling through JaJa's African Hair Braiding — a play that centres the beauty, complexity and politics of Black life within the familiar space of the hair salon.  The conversation reflects pertinent themes such as identity, migration, labour  and belonging.  We delve into the unspoken dynamics that live in community spaces — the care, the tension, the humour and the truth. Through this discussion, we reflect on what it means to be seen, to be held and sometimes to be challenged within spaces that feel like home.  This episode is hosted by Sylvia, who guides a thoughtful and honest conversation that goes beyond the stage and into life in living colour. As always with ARM- OUR, this isn't about passive listening. It's an invitation to reflect: What resonated with you? What felt familiar? What challenged your thinking?

Most teams are still asking where to use AI. The better question is where not to.In this episode, Adrian Matei, Product Manager from Jaja Finance, breaks down what actually happens when generative AI meets real users and real constraints. The result is far less hype, far more discipline, and a clear view of what it takes to ship AI that works.We talk about Jaja's chatbot, Airi, which is a RAG-based agentic system with six agents in production, serving customers who often face sensitive financial situations, such as debt.Adrian explains the design philosophy behind Airi's tone, which was developed in collaboration with Jaja's commercial and communications teams to ensure it matches the brand across every customer touchpoint.A significant part of the conversation focuses on the practical realities of building production-grade generative AI systems. Adrian shares his thinking on when to use generative AI and when deterministic, rule-based approaches are simply the better choice.We also touch on broader themes, including the future of AI at the edge and the emerging role of personal AI assistants.

Was für eine Folge.Peaches ist nach Rückenproblemen endlich wieder am Start und berichtet von seinem etwas schmerzhaften, aber offenbar erfolgreichen Erlebnis beim Chiropraktiker. André und Florian machen sich natürlich sofort einen Spaß daraus und driften zielsicher in ihre typische Mischung aus Fachsimpelei und völliger Eskalation ab.Danach wird's handwerklich: André erzählt von einer alten Buderus GB112, die eigentlich längst in Rente gehört. Gemeinsam sprechen die drei darüber, warum viele Kunden bei alten Heizungen überrascht sind, wenn plötzlich Schluss ist, und weshalb fehlende Rücklagen bei Eigentümern immer wieder zum Problem werden. Dabei geht's auch um Hybridlösungen, Wärmepumpen-Nachrüstung und die ehrliche Frage: Warum wird bei Autos eher investiert als bei der Heizung im Keller?Im zweiten Teil kommt das eigentliche Highlight: Altbau-Spezial – was man hinter Wänden und unter Böden alles findet.Von alten Zeitungen und Bierdosen über vergammelte Leitungen bis hin zu Pornoheften, Pistolen, mumifizierten Ratten und sogar einer Python ist alles dabei. Eine Folge irgendwo zwischen Baustellenwahnsinn, Monteur-Alltag und Männergespräch mit Schubkarrenreifen, Hochdruckreinigern und Rasenpflege ab 30.Zum Schluss gibt's noch den Feuerwehr-Klugschiss und einen Kalenderspruch, der erstaunlich gut auf diese Folge passt:„Fortschritt ist, wenn du dieselben Fehler wie früher machst – aber schneller.“

Polskie firmy Jaj z chowu klatkowego nie znajdziemy już na półkach sklepowych ponad 20 znanych sieci handlowych, ale także nie znajdziemy ich w produktach własnych takich jak majonezy czy gotowe dania. To ogromna etyczna zmiana, szczególnie gdy od 2014 roku udział kur w chowie bezklatkowym (ściółkowym, wolnowybiegowym i ekologicznym) potroił się – wzrósł z zaledwie 13% do 39% obecnie. Na początku 2025 roku odnotowano rekordowy spadek liczby kur w chowie klatkowym o prawie 4 miliony. Julią Pająk z organizacji Otwarte Klatki zwraca uwagę, że obecnie różnica w cenie między najtańszymi wcześniej jajami klatkowymi a ściółkowymi (oznaczonymi cyfrą „2”) systematycznie maleje. W 2020 roku jaja ściółkowe były droższe o około 30%, natomiast w 2025 roku różnica ta wynosiła już tylko kilkanaście procent. Zdarza się nawet, że jaja ściółkowe w jednej sieci są tańsze niż klatkowe w innej. “Zmiany na rynku są napędzane przez postawy społeczne – 7 na 10 osób w Polsce zwraca uwagę na warunki chowu kur, a blisko 2/3 deklaruje gotowość zapłacenia wyższej ceny za jaja pochodzące z lepszych systemów “ - dodaje Pająk.

Braids, Business, and Belonging: Black Hair and Identity in Columbus

The Community's Conversation

Hair is never just hair—it's history, artistry, and identity woven together. Inspired by the upcoming production of Jaja's African Hair Braiding (at the Contemporary Theatre of Ohio, March 5–22, 2026), this forum invites you into a conversation about the cultural, economic, and social significance of African hair braiding and the stories braided into every strand. Jaja's African Hair Braiding, written by Ohio State University graduate Jocelyn Bioh, follows West African women building lives inside a Harlem salon. African hair braiding is more than a beauty practice; it is a tradition deeply rooted in Black communities, symbolizing heritage, creativity, and belonging. In Columbus, braiding salons—often owned and operated by Black women—are more than businesses. They're spaces of empowerment, entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange, where clients and stylists alike find connection and community. Community leaders, artists, scholars, and business advocates discuss how beauty culture reflects resilience, creativity, and economic opportunity—and why these community spaces matter now more than ever. Featuring panelists: Juanita Brent, Representative, Ohio State House District 18 Sarai Brooks, Braid Artist, Author, and Owner of Haven 626 by RaiStyles J. Averi Frost, Executive Director, Central Ohio African American Chamber of Commerce Dr. Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University The host is Lachandra "La" Baker, Founder and Lead Consultant, Lachandra B. Baker Edutainment LLC. This forum was presented in partnership with The Contemporary Theatre of Ohio. The presenting sponsor of the CMC livestream was The Center for Human Kindness at the Columbus Foundation. CMC's livestream partner was The Columbus Dispatch. This forum was also supported by Downtown Columbus Inc and The National Veterans Memorial and Museum. If you would like to keep exploring this week's forum topic, our partners at The Columbus Metropolitan Library recommend reading "Twisted: The Tangled History of Black Hair Culture," by Emma Dabiri (2020). This forum was recorded before a live audience at The National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus, Ohio on February 25, 2026.

Felieton Tomasza Olbratowskiego

Tak wynika z powszechnych doświadczeń. Otóż, przechodząc do meritum sedna, kiedy chcesz sobie przygotować jajko sadzone, mimo, że ostrożnie wbijasz jajo na patelnię, ono się rozwala i musisz robić jajecznicę. Z kolei kiedy robisz jajecznicę, to niedbale wbijasz jajo na patelnię i co? żółtko ładne okrągłe w środeczku, wokół gluty, idealne sadzone i musisz mieszać, żeby była jajecznica, bo akurat na nią masz ochotę. Można się starać oszukać jajo, i kiedy chcesz sadzone to mówisz na głos, żeby wszystkie jajka słyszały: a, zrobię sobie jajecznicę. Nie działa.

A director, writer, actor, and musician, White's work has been seen on Broadway, Off Broadway, and at major institutions including The Public Theater, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and, most recently, the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her projects include Jaja's African Hair Braiding, The Last Five Years, Macbeth in Stride, and By The Queen, which was featured in the Folger's 2025 Reading Room Festival. In this episode, White discusses All Is But Fantasy, her four-play musical cycle created for the RSC, where it's now receiving its world premiere. The high-energy, gig-theater show investigates Shakespeare's women and ambition, focusing on Lady Macbeth, Emilia, Juliet, and Richard III. Each piece combines performance with original music, using sound and rhythm as a way into the text and as a tool for rethinking these characters whose inner lives are often cut short or overlooked. White reflects on why Shakespeare's women so often meet tragic ends, how those stories continue to feel familiar, and what it means to keep staging them now. She considers the ways that music, performance, and adaptation can help us better understand Shakespeare today. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

Het refrein werd gisteren spontaan door Shady bedacht in de podcast. Ai heeft vandaag de rest gedaan:)   Ja ja ik ga naar Milaan, ik heb mijn best gedaan Ik heb een aanwijsplek gekregen, dat is een grote zegen! De vorm was ver te zoeken, de tijden waren slecht Maar Rintje heeft gesproken, nu heb ik toch startrecht! Ik reed een bocht als een dweil, m'n start was veel te traag De rondetijden liepen op, geen enkele vinger ging nog omlaag. Ik zat al in de put, ik dacht: "Het is voorbij" Maar toen keek Rintje op z'n lijst... en daar stond ík toch bij! Ja ja ik ga naar Milaan, ik heb mijn best gedaan Ik heb een aanwijsplek gekregen, dat is een grote zegen! Niet gewonnen, niet gevlogen, toch sta ik op het ijs Dankzij het briefje van de bondscoach win ik straks de prijs! De rest staat op de tribune, die kijken heel erg zuur Zij reden wel een P R, maar misten net het vuur Ik hoefde niet te strijden, ik hoefde niet te gaan Want Rintje zag m'n talent... ergens achteraan! De pizza staat al klaar, de prosecco vloeit in het rond Met de Beer aan het roer staan we stevig op de grond! "Jongens, maakt je niet druk om die tijd... Het gaat om de uitstraling, de passie, de... aanwijsplek!" Ja ja we gaan naar Milaan, we hebben ons best gedaan We hebben een aanwijsplek gekregen, dat is een grote zegen! Rintje, bedankt! We vieren nu het feest Ook al zijn we dit jaar niet de snelste ooit geweest!
