Years ago, there was this big craze or "discovery" of what was called Ebonics or Black Slang. Well, first of all, its not new.

At 16, his grandmother fled Kraków after the Nazis killed her father, worked a New York factory floor beside her mother, and applied to every medical school in the state three years running before one finally said yes — then told her second-grade grandson that education is the only thing nobody can ever take away from him.Years later, David Rogier quit his venture capital job with no idea what he wanted to build, and his boss wrote him a check for $500,000 and told him to go think of something; the dark, formless year that followed became MasterClass, whose holding company still carries his grandmother's nickname. Launch day brought so few sales that he went home and cried, and by day four it was obvious he had a real business on his hands. In this conversation, David breaks down how he got Hollywood's biggest names to say yes, why he believes degrees and résumés are quickly becoming worthless, and the three kinds of jobs he thinks will actually survive AI. David Rogier is the founder and CEO of MasterClass, the platform that put instruction from Martin Scorsese, Christina Aguilera, Steph Curry, and dozens of other world-class practitioners into the hands of millions of learners. He built it from a single $500,000 check and has since launched MasterClass Executive, an AI-native alternative to the traditional MBA created in collaboration with OpenAI and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Potem wskazujemy na pragnienie, jako otwarcie na to, co nieskończone; rozważamy opisy twarzy i Innego, drugiego człowieka, który nieproszony przymusza nas do odpowiedzialności i w ten sposób staje się usprawiedliwieniem naszej wolności, przyglądamy się refleksji Levinasa o ateizmie… To nie są wszystkie wątki.

“If your opening position is: your views are beyond the pale, you are deplorable, there is no space for you in democracy — then how on earth do we expect anything other than revolutionary conservatism as a response?” — Maciej Kisilowski For Americans concerned about the fragility of their democracy, Poland offers some reassuring news. Having experienced its own illiberal blip, democracy in Poland now seems amongst the healthiest in Eastern Europe. So what does a democracy only created in 1989 teach America as the old republic braces for its surreal semiquincentennial celebration? The Vienna-based constitutional scholar Maciej Kisilowski is the author of Let's Agree on Poland: A Case Study in Strategic Constitutional Design. In this bestselling 2025 book, Kisilowski argues that Poland is a map of where other Western democracies could go. If they choose to. Poland elected its first illiberal conservative government in 2005. Hungary followed in 2010. Both explicitly served as models for Donald Trump — relatively tamed in his first term, unshackled in his second. Like the United States, Poland is a relatively rich country with per capita GDP growing an astonishing 650% in a single generation. So, Kisilowski argues, the conventional argument that Poland embraced illiberalism in response to economic hardship is mostly wrong. Instead, what triggered illiberalism in Poland was culture, particularly the compressed, accelerated challenge to traditional identity — national, male, religious — that EU accession triggered in Central Europe. Kisilowski, who teaches at Central European University, might have entitled his book Let's Agree to Disagree. Poland's solution to this cultural crisis of identity is what Kisilowski calls “subsidiarity” — genuine decentralisation that allows both conservative communities to remain traditional and liberal cities to become progressive, all within a common democratic framework. He warns both the left and the right that if you tell people their views are somehow foreign, it's entirely rational for them to want to smash their “foreign” democracy. This is the Polish model of a viable 21st century democracy. Ironically, it's a Madisonian warning about the dangers of faction. The “deplorable” gambit always backfires. Péter Magyar's remarkable victory in Hungary — a staunch conservative ending Orbán's 16-year mafia-style illiberal chapter — offers the Hungarian model of Kisilowski's argument. So this July 4, worried Americans might read Let's Agree on Poland. Or reread James Madison. Five Takeaways •       Central Europe as the Leading Indicator: Poland and Hungary Before Trump: Poland elected its first revolutionary conservative government in 2005 — sixteen years before the January 6 insurrection. Hungary followed in 2010. Both were explicitly cited as models by the architects of Trump's political project. Kisilowski's argument: what happened in Central Europe is not a regional anomaly but a leading indicator of what happens when open society's challenge to traditional identity is concentrated and rapid rather than gradual. The walls of liberal democratic institutions were weaker in Warsaw and Budapest. They will not hold indefinitely in Washington or London either. •       It's Not the Economy, Stupid: The Case Against Materialist Explanations: Poland and Hungary are economic opposites. Hungary was the “happiest barrack” of the Soviet bloc but fared poorly after 1989. Poland was among the poorer countries of the bloc and grew 650% in per capita GDP in one generation, with a Gini coefficient below France's. Same revolutionary conservative politics. Opposite economic trajectories. Kisilowski's conclusion: the materialist explanation — people turn right because of economic hardship — is flatly wrong. The driver is identity: the compressed, accelerated challenge to national, male, and religious identity imposed by EU accession conditionality in a decade. •       The Deplorable Problem: Why Exclusion Rationally Produces Authoritarianism: Kisilowski's most politically pointed argument: if your opening position to conservatives is that their views are beyond the pale, they are deplorable, there is no space for them in democracy — then it is entirely rational for them to break democracy. Not irrational. Not manipulated. Rational. If there is no space for me inside the system, I must break the system. That is what revolutionary conservatism is: a rational response to liberal exclusion. The solution is not to validate the views. The solution is to demonstrate that there is a place for those people and their communities within a democratic framework. That is the Madisonian insight. •       Subsidiarity as the Solution: Conservative Communities, Liberal Cities, Common Framework: Kisilowski's constitutional proposal, worked out with co-authors from the full ideological spectrum, is subsidiarity: genuine decentralization that allows conservative rural communities to be conservative and liberal cities to be liberal, within a common democratic framework. Budapest, in Magyar's Hungary, should get strong autonomy to pursue the more liberal policies its electorate wants. Warsaw and Kraków should be able to differ. The European Union is, in this reading, the model: different countries, different cultures, one framework. The alternative is winner-takes-all, which always produces a revolutionary reaction from the losers. •       Peter Magyar and Hungary: Proof of Concept for the Compromise Strategy: Magyar's extraordinary victory in Hungary — winning a constitutional majority against a 16-year right-wing regime rightly called a mafia state, in elections skewed heavily toward the government — is, in Kisilowski's reading, direct evidence that the compromise strategy works. Magyar is a staunch conservative and former member of the Orbán government. He won because he demonstrated to far-right voters that there was a place for them and their views within democratic Europe. The 2 million liberal Budapest voters who voted for him did so not because they like his conservatism but because he was unquestionably preferable to Orbán. Kisilowski made sure Magyar got the book. About the Guest Maciej Kisilowski is Associate Professor of Law and Strategy at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna.

Full Text of Readings Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 91 The Saint of the day is Saint Albert Chmielowski Saint Albert Chmielowski's Story Born in Igolomia near Kraków as the eldest of four children in a wealthy family, Albert Chmielowski was christened Adam. During the 1864 revolt against Czar Alexander III, Adam's wounds forced the amputation of his left leg. His great talent for painting led to studies in Warsaw, Munich, and Paris. Adam returned to Kraków and became a Secular Franciscan. In 1888, when he founded the Brothers of the Third Order of Saint Francis, Servants to the Poor, he took the name Albert. They worked primarily with the homeless, depending completely on alms while serving the needy regardless of age, religion, or politics. A community of Albertine sisters was established later. Pope John Paul II beatified Albert Chmielowski in 1983, and canonized him six years later. His liturgical feast is celebrated on June 17. Reflection Reflecting on his own priestly vocation, Pope John Paul II wrote in 1996 that Albert Chmielowski had played a role in its formation “because I found in him a real spiritual support and example in leaving behind the world of art, literature, and the theater, and in making the radical choice of a vocation to the priesthood” (Gift and Mystery: On the Fiftieth Anniversary of My Priestly Ordination). As a young priest, Karol Wojtyla repaid his debt of gratitude by writing The Brother of Our God, a play about Brother Albert's life.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

What's happening at EuroPython 2026? The conference celebrates its 25th anniversary this year in Kraków, Poland. This week on the show, organizers Mia Bajić and Daria Linhart Grudzien join me to discuss this year's conference.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Katarzyna (Kasia) Dodd. She  is a European-licensed psychologist, therapist, and author who is completely shifting how we approach subconscious healing. She is the developer of the Inner Parent Theory—a powerful and necessary missing piece of the traditional Inner Child framework —which she explores deeply in her book, You Are the Dream of the Universe. As a true pioneer in somatic and energy work, Katarzyna introduced Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to Poland and created the Inherence® Process, a dedicated method for restoring an unshakeable connection with your deepest Self. Born in Kraków, she spent 22 years in the United States before relocating to the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, bringing a highly global and expansive perspective to her practice. Her newest book, The Chameleon's Game, exposes the hidden psychological traps of covert narcissism. In this episode, she breaks down those draining dynamics and provides a clear, actionable roadmap for reclaiming your self-trust, personal clarity, and peace.   In this episode, they discuss; Rebuilding from the Ground Up: The vital first step to constructing a supportive, protective "Inner Parent" immediately following a relationship that shattered self-worth. Embodiment vs. Intellectualizing Healing: Why logically understanding toxic dynamics isn't enough to heal, and how the Inherence® Process bridges that gap to restore connection with the "deep Self." Real-Time Nervous System Regulation: Navigating sudden triggers, fear, or intrusive memories using immediate somatic tools (like EFT and meditation) rather than defaulting to old subconscious safety mechanisms. The Anatomy of a Grounded Boundary: The critical energetic difference between setting a boundary fueled by reactive fear and anger versus one anchored by a calm, empowered Inner Parent.

You step off a train in cities like Paris, Florence, Vienna, or Amsterdam and it feels like centuries of wealth, art, empire, and philosophy are layered directly into the streets. The architecture alone can overwhelm you. Cathedrals built before entire countries existed in the Americas. Cafés where writers, revolutionaries, and painters spent decades shaping culture. The infrastructure is polished, the museums endless, and even ordinary neighborhoods can feel cinematic. But what surprises many travelers is how deeply routine it all is for locals. The beauty becomes normalized. People casually drink wine beside buildings older than most civilizations in the Western Hemisphere. Western Europe feels refined, stable, and historically “finished” in a way few regions on Earth do. Eastern Europe hits differently. It feels heavier, rawer, and in many ways more honest. The scars of war, communism, occupation, and survival are still visible in the architecture and mentality. Cities like Budapest, Belgrade, Kraków, Bucharest, or Sarajevo carry a tension between old-world beauty and recent hardship. You can walk through grand Austro-Hungarian boulevards, then see Soviet apartment blocks only minutes away. The people are often less performative for tourists and more direct in conversation. Prices are lower, nightlife can be wilder, and the atmosphere feels less commercialized than Western Europe. There's also a stronger feeling that history here was not just written in books but lived recently by grandparents still alive today. Eastern Europe often leaves travelers with deeper memories because it feels less filtered and more emotionally textured. One of the biggest differences between traveling Europe and traveling Latin America is the relationship between order and spontaneity. Europe, especially Western Europe, operates with systems that have been refined for generations. Trains run on schedules. Streets were designed for walking centuries ago. Public life functions with a certain predictability. Latin America feels more alive in a chaotic sense. Plans change. Conversations last longer. Bureaucracy can feel irrational one moment and strangely human the next. In Europe, efficiency often dominates culture. In Latin America, relationships dominate culture. Neither is automatically better. One gives structure and reliability. The other gives warmth, adaptability, and energy. Travelers who understand this distinction usually enjoy both regions far more because they stop expecting them to operate the same way.

Mija rok od drugiej tury wyborów prezydenckich, wygranych przez Karola Nawrockiego i obóz Prawa i Sprawiedliwości. Dokładnie 1 czerwca o godz. 20 zapraszamy na specjalne wydanie "Stanu Wyjątkowego", w którym Andrzej Stankiewicz, Kamil Dziubka, Dominika Długosz i Jacek Gądek podsumują pierwszy rok po wyborach i wspólnie odpowiedzą na pytania subskrybentów Onet Premium. Zapisz się! Szczegóły: https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/specjalne-wydanie-stanu-wyjatkowego-dolacz-do-wydarzenia/rq61t2b  Skończyły się czasy, gdy słowa Jarosława Kaczyńskiego, jego wola i kaprys ważyły na prawicy więcej, niż prawo i niż sprawiedliwość. Po tym, jak prezesowi PiS posłuszeństwo wypowiedział Mateusz Morawiecki, następny w kolejce ustawia się Karol Nawrocki. Prezydent właśnie kompletnie zignorował sygnały ostrzegawcze wysyłane z Nowogrodzkiej w sprawie obsady stołka I prezesa Sądu Najwyższego. Nie ma co kryć — w trwającej politycznej wojnie o kształt wymiaru sprawiedliwości I prezes Sądu Najwyższego to posada kluczowa. Dlatego Kaczyński nie chciał się zgodzić na nominację dla sędziego Zbigniewa Kapińskiego, który ponad ćwierć wieku temu uczestniczył w wydaniu orzeczenia uznającego, że Lech Wałęsa nie był agentem komunistycznej bezpieki. Udowadnianie, że Wałęsa to „Bolek" nadaje życiu Kaczyńskiego sens, więc nie ma się co dziwić, że prezes oczekiwał od swego prezydenckiego wybrańca, że nie zgodzi się na takiego kandydata. A Nawrocki po cichu Kapińskiego powołał — czyli olał Kaczyńskiego. Dla jasności: nie był w tej prezesowskiej olewce sam. Za Kapińskim lobbowali ważni w pisowskiej kaście ludzie: nie tylko zbuntowany Morawiecki, ale także zmarginalizowany Andrzej Duda i odchodząca szefowa Sądu Najwyższego, była wiceminister w rządach PiS Małgorzata Manowska. Znaczy to tyle, że jest na prawicy grupa polityków, którzy mają wystarczającą siłę, by przeforsować swych ludzi na ważne stanowiska — mimo oporów Kaczyńskiego. Tak się zaczyna detronizacja. Ale naturalny — od ponad dwóch dekad — przeciwnik Kaczyńskiego, szef Koalicji Obywatelskiej Donald Tusk także przeżywa problemy. Rok temu dostał ciężkie baty, bo jego kandydat Rafał Trzaskowski przegrał wybory prezydenckie. Teraz z kolei — raptem po dwóch latach kadencji — odwołany w referendum został prezydent Krakowa Aleksander Miszalski, ważna postać KO. W związku z tym twórcy słuchowiska politycznego „Stan Wyjątkowy" Andrzej Stankiewicz i Jacek Gądek analizują wyborczą skuteczność Tuska na rok przed wyborami parlamentarnymi. Wnioski są brutalne. Premier nie odrobił lekcji po ubiegłorocznej porażce Trzaskowskiego. Koalicja Obywatelska wciąż nie potrafi prowadzić kampanii w nowych realiach, gdy trzeba walczyć z botami rozpowszechniającymi wytworzone przez AI chwytliwe, kłamliwe treści. Tak teraz było w Krakowie, a za rok będzie tak w całej Polsce.

In hub cities like Budapest (Hungary), Prague (Czechia), and Kraków (Poland), the lifestyle balances dynamic urban energy with relaxed, old-world leisure, featuring iconic café cultures, historic ruin bars, and extensive green spaces. For digital nomads, these Central-Eastern nations provide ultra-fast fiber-optic internet, expanding networks of modern co-working spaces, and strong English proficiency among locals. Furthermore, the establishment of official digital nomad visas across the region simplifies legal, long-term stays, allowing professionals to enjoy a high quality of life without the administrative stress of frequent border runs. Moving further south into the Balkan peninsula and outward to the Black Sea coast, countries like Bulgaria, Romania, and Albania introduce an exceptionally cost-effective and ruggedly scenic lifestyle. Here, daily life centers around a slower, community-oriented pace, where organic local markets, affordable traditional dining, and easy access to dramatic mountain ranges or pristine coastlines dominate the routine. For remote workers, this subregion is a hidden gem: Romania and Bulgaria consistently rank among the global leaders for average broadband and mobile internet speeds, while towns like Bansko, Bulgaria, have evolved into world-renowned, year-round nomad villages. Whether you are navigating the historical streets of Bucharest or working from a seaside café in Albania—which offers a highly favorable one-year visa-free stay for US citizens—the region combines low overhead costs with robust connectivity, allowing your income to stretch significantly further than in Western Europe. #travel #travelblogger #nomad #easterneurope #digitalnomad #poland #solotravel #podcast

"Chyba jest to niemożliwe" - tak na pytanie o możliwość wystawienia wspólnego kandydata koalicji rządzącej na prezydenta Krakowa po odwołaniu Aleksandra Miszalskiego odpowiedziała w Porannej rozmowie w RMF FM minister klimatu i środowiska Paulina Hennig-Kloska z klubu parlamentarnego Centrum. "Kraków w bardzo kontrowersyjny sposób wprowadził Strefę Czystego Transportu. Uważam, że wprowadzając ją, trzeba równoważyć rozwój transportu zbiorowego, miejskiego, a nie być nastawionym na zarabianie" - stwierdziła, dodając, że Centrum jeszcze nie ustaliło, czy wystawi swojego kandydata.

Prof. Janina Szarek-Münzberg opowiada o swojej niezwykłej drodze z Podkarpacia przez Kraków, Warszawę, Wrocław aż do Berlina, gdzie od prawie 25 lat prowadzi szkołę aktorską TRANSform Schauspielschule. Rozmawiamy o polskim i niemieckim teatrze, i o tym, dlaczego w aktorstwie najważniejsza pozostaje wrażliwość. To także spotkanie jubileuszowe — 60 lat pracy scenicznej i 80 urodziny artystki.

Kraków pokazał żółtą kartkę premierowi Tuskowi? A może czerwoną całej koalicji? W referendum odwołano prezydenta miasta Aleksandra Miszalskiego. 3 tysięcy głosów zabrakło do odwołania rady miasta. PiS już obtrąbił zwycięstwo, choć ich kandydat nawet nie wszedł do drugiej tury w ostatnich wyborach. Ale mieszkańcy nie są zadowoleni z pracy obecnego prezydenta — ponad 170 000 krakowian głosowało za odwołaniem. Jakie wnioski dla Polski płyną z Krakowa? A dziś także o kolejnych prowokacjach telefonicznych. Tym razem wezwano straż pożarną do mieszkania matki Karola Nawrockiego. Kto za tym stoi? Tymczasem premier zajmuje się Ukraińcem, który wjechał sportową Corvette na Morskie Oko. #Referendum #Kraków #Tusk #wybory #polityka #IPPTVNaŻywo

Pegasusa kończy przygotowywanie raportu. Już wiemy, że nie poznamy listy nielegalnie śledzonych osób. Kolejna obietnica związana z rozliczeniami niespełniona. A co zrobić, żeby rozliczenia oraz wymierzanie prawa i sprawiedliwości były w Polsce skuteczne? Czy trzeba zaorać prokuraturę i zbudować ją od nowa?

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 285 The Saint of the day is Blessed Michael Giedroyc Blessed Michael Giedroyc's Story A life of physical pain and mental torment didn't prevent Michael Giedroyc from achieving holiness. Born near Vilnius, Lithuania, Michael suffered from physical and permanent handicaps from birth. He was a dwarf who had the use of only one foot. Because of his delicate physical condition, his formal education was frequently interrupted. But over time, Michael showed special skills at metalwork. Working with bronze and silver, he created sacred vessels, including chalices. He traveled to Kraków, Poland, where he joined the Augustinians. He received permission to live the life of a hermit in a cell adjoining the monastery. There Michael spent his days in prayer, fasted and abstained from all meat and lived to an old age. Though he knew the meaning of suffering throughout his years, his rich spiritual life brought him consolation. Michael's long life ended in 1485 in Kraków. Five hundred years later, Pope John Paul II visited the city and spoke to the faculty of the Pontifical Academy of Theology. The 15th century in Kraków, the pope said, was “the century of saints.” Among those he cited was Blessed Michael Giedroyc. Reflection Many people today face a life of suffering and discrimination due to physical handicaps. Let's ask Blessed Michael Giedroyc to pray for them that their situation might be addressed by society at large.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Michał Bylina is a Polish bassist and composer whose work bridges early music performance and new music for the instrument. In this conversation, Michał shares how a love of the past pulled them toward gut strings, Baroque style, and the Vienna bass tradition, plus the path from studying in Kraków to a year studying in Brussels with Korneel Le Compte. We dig into Michał's composing process, from writing cadenzas to building a huge library of bass sheet music and learning by analysis, along with current projects like a concerto inspired by the surviving bars of Dittersdorf's concerto for violone and an aria for countertenor and obbligato bass. Michał also talks about balancing music with life as a parent and work as a software developer, and what might come next.

Full Text of Readings Saturday in the Octave of Easter Lectionary: 266 The Saint of the day is Saint Stanislaus Saint Stanislaus' Story Anyone who reads the history of Eastern Europe cannot help but chance on the name of Stanislaus, the saintly but tragic bishop of Kraków, patron of Poland. He is remembered with Saints Thomas More and Thomas Becket for vigorous opposition to the evils of an unjust government. Born in Szczepanow near Kraków on July 26, 1030, he was ordained a priest after being educated in the cathedral schools of Gniezno, then capital of Poland, and at Paris. He was appointed preacher and archdeacon to the bishop of Kraków, where his eloquence and example brought about real conversion in many of his penitents, both clergy and laity. He became bishop of Kraków in 1072. During an expedition against the Grand Duchy of Kiev, Saint Stanislaus became involved in the political situation of Poland. Known for his outspokenness, he aimed his attacks at the evils of the peasantry and the king, especially the unjust wars and immoral acts of King Boleslaus II. The king first excused himself, then made a show of penance, then relapsed into his old ways. Stanislaus continued his open opposition in spite of charges of treason and threats of death, finally excommunicating the king. Enraged, the latter ordered soldiers to kill the bishop. When they refused, the king killed Stanislaus with his own hands. Forced to flee to Hungary, Boleslaus supposedly spent the rest of his life as a penitent in the Benedictine abbey in Osiak. Reflection Saints John the Baptist, Thomas Becket, Thomas More, and Stanislaus are a few of the prophets who dared to denounce corruption in high places. They followed in the footsteps of Jesus himself, who pointed out the moral corruption in the religious leadership of his day. It is a risky business.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Serving as a medieval royal capital, Kraków was a vibrant historical centre of culture, learning and commerce, symbolising the region's political and intellectual life for centuries. In this episode, travel writer and history buff Paul Bloomfield and historian Professor Natalia Nowakowska guide us through the streets, squares and stories of this ancient city. They consider how invasion, oppression, and renewal shaped the city we know today – as well as the complex history and legacy of the Jewish population that played such an important role in the city's success for many centuries before Nazi occupation.

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Third Week of Lent Lectionary: 240 The Saint of the day is Blessed Angela Salawa Blessed Angela Salawa's Story Angela served Christ and Christ's little ones with all her strength. Born in Siepraw, near Kraków, Poland, Blessed Angela Salawa was the 11th child of Bartlomiej and Ewa Salawa. In 1897, she moved to Kraków where her older sister Therese lived. Angela immediately began to gather together and instruct young women domestic workers. During World War I, she helped prisoners of war without regard for their nationality or religion. The writings of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross were a great comfort to her. Angela gave great service in caring for soldiers wounded in World War I. After 1918, her health did not permit her to exercise her customary apostolate. Addressing herself to Christ, she wrote in her diary, “I want you to be adored as much as you were destroyed.” In another place, she wrote, “Lord, I live by your will. I shall die when you desire; save me because you can.” At her 1991 beatification in Kraków, Pope John Paul II said: “It is in this city that she worked, that she suffered and that her holiness came to maturity. While connected to the spirituality of Saint Francis, she showed an extraordinary responsiveness to the action of the Holy Spirit” (L'Osservatore Romano, volume 34, number 4, 1991). Reflection Humility should never be mistaken for lack of conviction, insight or energy. Angela brought the Good News and material assistance to some of Christ's “least ones.” Her self-sacrifice inspired others to do the same.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
