Among the signatories is Polish MEP Jagna Marczułajtis-Walczak, who called the affair "a scandal for the whole world."

A 40-zloty phone case instead of an expensive one — is the premium worth it?

The author argues that expensive phone cases are not worth the money, with cheap alternatives costing around 40 PLN offering the same basic protection. Based on personal experience, the piece claims that branded premium cases provide no meaningful advantage over budget options. The key factors are proper fit and basic drop and scratch protection.

Ozempic and Wegovy dosing mistakes behind thousands of poison control calls

Calls to US poison control centres involving semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) soared after the drug was approved for weight management. Researchers found that the increase was driven by accidental dosing mistakes rather than intentional misuse. Basic patient education about the weekly dosing schedule and gradual dose escalation could prevent most of these avoidable incidents.

Should Ozempic manufacturers be held responsible for patients' dosing mistakes?

EU Border System EES Causes Airport Chaos: Queues and Flights Leaving Without Passengers

The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES), billed as the world's most advanced border-control system and developed over a decade by the European Commission, has caused hours-long queues at airports across Europe and planes departing without passengers. According to the Financial Times, airlines and airports — the people who know most about air travel — were entirely excluded from the development process. Industry insiders say they warned authorities this would happen.

Should the EU suspend the EES system until its problems are fixed?
