Kraków, twelve centuries of history. One of the main strongholds of the Kingdom of Piasts. The capital of the Jagiellonian empire. Place of the coronation of the Kings of Poland. Wonder of Europe, jewel of Western civilization.

Why does Red Bull own an F1 team?

Because the company — which sells $7B+ of energy drinks a year — is a pure marketing firm (outsources all production).

Its invested $2B+ into F1 but has gained multiples of that for the brand by "manufacturing history".

Here’s a breakdown🧵

The Christmas market in Kraków, Poland is absolutely gorgeous this year.

Crowds of locals and tourists have been gathering there every evening for over a month, buying presents, drinking mulled wine and enjoying oscypek cheese.

I have never seen a songwriter break down — note by note — the process by which he wrote a tune like @PaulSimonMusic does here with “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. (1970)

What a joyful exchange. 🙏🏼

With many families apart this Christmas, it seems like either a very good or very bad time to remind ourselves of the irresistibly cute Christmas grandpa ad of a few years ago from Polish e-commerce company Allegro: https://t.co/SyWZETWxTA

For over 35 years, Thums up ruled the Indian soft drink market.

This iconic brand overcame international brands like Pepsi & Coke, local brands like Campa Cola & even a brand launched by Indian government: Double 7

#OTD in 1940, 🇵🇱 officer Witold #Pilecki deliberately had himself arrested in a street round up in German-occupied #Warsaw.

Sent to #Auschwitz, he managed to gather evidence of the crimes committed there, and smuggle it out.

Pilecki was the only known #Auschwitz volunteer.
