Koleje na zawsze zmieniły sposób, w jaki myślimy i działamy. W książce Podróże w czasie: Historia autor James Gleick zasugerował, że koleje tak bardzo zniekształciły nasze poczucie czasu i przestrzeni, że ludzkość wymyśliła koncepcję podróży w czasie jako reakcję na skraczanie odległości i […]

"Bezprecedensowy akt dywersji". Tusk: dopadniemy ich Na trasie Warszawa-Lublin (wieś Mika) doszło do aktu dywersji. Eksplozja ładunku wybuchowego zniszczyła tor kolejowy - poinformował premier Donald Tusk. Jak przekazał, "eksplozja miała najprawdopodobniej na celu wysadzenie pociągu".

The second scientist looks into a technical portal and says WOW Panel 3. A reflection of panel two. The reflected scientist's speech bubble still reads: WOW Panel 4. A reflection of panel one.

Tweet: Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

Papież: Kościół wzywa wszystkich budowniczych #AI do pielęgnowania rozeznania moralnego jako fundamentalnego elementu swojej pracy – do tworzenia systemów odzwierciedlających sprawiedliwość, solidarność i autentyczny szacunek dla życia.

Italy pushes for EU army as Rome-Moscow diplomatic rift deepens As Russia's war in Ukraine drags on and fears of broader regional spillovers grow, Italy is stepping up its calls for a stronger European defense. During the commemorations of November 4, the Day of Italian National Unity and the Armed Forces, President Sergio Mattarella called for faster progress toward a common army, even as Rome finds itself in a new diplomatic spat with Moscow over the incendiary statements of a Russian official. **What’s happening:** Amid growing fears of a wider war in Ukraine, Italian President Sergio Mattarella renewed his call for the creation of a _European army_. * Speaking on Italy’s Armed Forces Day, Mattarella warned that “new conflicts are emerging in Europe and the Mediterranean,” challenging the postwar security framework. * “The risk of an expansion of the bloody conflict triggered by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” he said, “requires us to adapt our military tools and build a common European defense force — in close cooperation with NATO — as a guarantee of security for Italy and Europe.” **Diplomatic turbulence.** Rome and Moscow are locked in a new diplomatic spat. The spark: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova linked the collapse of Rome’s medieval Torre dei Conti to Italy’s support for Kyiv — a comment Italy called “vulgar” and “unacceptable.” * The Italian Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador. * Moscow, however, sent a lower-ranking diplomat — Mikhail Rossiyskiy — instead. * Rossiyskiy accused Italian media of running an “aggressive anti-Russian campaign,” using Zakharova’s remarks as a _pretext_ to attack Moscow. **The response.** Italy issued a formal protest, condemning Russia’s “offensive rhetoric” made “while Italy was mourning a tragedy that claimed human lives.” * The ministry noted that Rome has always expressed condolences when similar events occurred in Russia — making the comments “even more inappropriate.” * During the meeting, the Russian Embassy reportedly _distanced itself_ from Zakharova’s words, acknowledging the “vulgarity” of the statement. * Still, the Italian side warned that such “aggressive declarations” only strengthen public support for Ukraine. **The big picture.** Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said that “peace is no longer a given” and confirmed that Italy’s 12th military aid package to Ukraine is on the way. * Asked about Zakharova’s remarks, he shrugged them off: “I never read what that lady says,” Crosetto told _La Repubblica_ , calling her statements “a tiny, irrelevant part of Russia’s broader disinformation machine.” **Why it matters:** Mattarella’s push adds momentum to a growing debate inside the EU on strategic autonomy. * With Moscow doubling down, calls for a joint European defense are becoming harder to ignore.
