Ondřej Chramouský described the two points gained as excellent and the match as successful. He considered the draw after 60 minutes to be fair and labeled Třinec as the best opponent his team had faced so far. He was disappointed by the goal conceded during their own power play. According to Chramouský, Třinec was in form, which was evident in their play. He also praised Kubiesu, who, according to him, gained confidence due to the space and started collecting points. He reminded about earlier discussions regarding the team composition and that they had to rely on players from the B-team as early as the 10th round. Chramouský added that he and his colleagues were preparing a summary of another interesting week in TELH, which was to be published the following day. #hokej #telh #Třinec (translated)

David Rangl, in an ironically toned post, claimed that the intervention of Russian data centers caused chaos in the Czech pro-Russian scene. According to him, disinformation websites and trolls stopped receiving instructions, so some people had to form their own opinions. Rangl described that the SPD convened a crisis staff, which, according to him, after several hours came up with several contradictory explanations: either the attack did not occur, Russia repelled it, or it could have been Brussels, NATO, migrants, and Petr Fiala to blame. He also mentioned a demand for the government's resignation without a clearly stated reason. According to him, on the alternative scene, one influencer condemned Russian aggression, another published photos of burning servers as evidence of Russian victory, and another began promoting Russia's accession to NATO. Jindřich Rajchl, according to Rangl, demanded a parliamentary investigative committee due to the decline in followers. The post further described the extinguished premises of the Stačilo! movement, non-functional stamp machines at the Václav Klaus Institute, and the vaccination of the Svatopluk association against rabies at a veterinary station. The situation was eventually calmed by a chain email that blamed events on Soros, Ukrainian pensioners, and a secret NATO lab in Uzhhorod. Rangl concluded that Russian servers were gradually returning to operation, while the damages to the Czech "patriotic scene" could be irreversible, as some people realized during the outage that they could think independently. #ČeskáRepublika #dezinformace #vlastenectví (translated)

Oliver Adámek described the results of STAN in Prague as a triumph and wrote that the party strengthened in almost all city districts. He attributed this to the work of Petr Hlaváček and his team, as well as to the outcomes of promoting major projects. He considered STAN, Prague itself, and the Pirates to be the programmatically most suitable coalition at the magistrate. According to him, the disrupted relationships between Hlaváček and Adam Scheinherr from the campaign hindered it, and part of the leadership of Prague's STAN preferred cooperation with ODS. Adámek also pointed out the differences between STAN and SPOLU in transportation and housing: Hlaváček advocated for urban housing construction, parking restrictions, prioritization of public transport, and tolls in the city center, while the leader of SPOLU criticized the Prague development company and rejected the idea of the city building apartments. He concluded that without concessions from one of the parties, major agreements might not succeed again. He also described a coalition of STAN and SPOLU, extended by Prague itself or the Pirates, as possible but unlikely. He stated that the larger parties would have to give up seats they did not need, leading to an even more disparate grouping. He deemed SPOLU's result as decent, but also noted that the coalition weakened in most city districts and could lose mayors. According to him, the Pirates were losing everywhere, while Prague itself attracted liberal voters; he cited city districts Prague 1, 8, 6, and 10 as examples. #Praha #obecnívolby #politika (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that her criticism of modern art in B.T. could also be directed at Jens Galschiøt's Trump sculpture, which she described as vulgar kitsch. She believed that much modern art was poorly conceived and executed political contributions that conveyed propaganda for an oikophobic establishment rather than uplift or give spirit to the human condition. Selsing stated that she was not surprised that the Danish Arts Foundation supported that type of projects. She pointed out that artists, works, funds, and museums, in her view, were influenced by left-leaning individuals, and that the result was often works characterized by ugliness, death, something unpleasant, and meaninglessness. She emphasized that her criticism was not about art being provocative, but that provocation had been highlighted for decades as the only or most important task of art. She asked why art should not also show beauty, and called provocation that followed the demands of the time ideological commission work. Selsing rejected that she had the sole right to define art but believed that works that could be reduced to poorly conceived political contributions were not good art—if they were even art at all. She referred to most modern art as societal-degrading kitsch. #ModerneKunst #Kitsch #KunstDebat (translated)

Alexandr Mitrofanov wrote that after Babiš's outburst of poorly suppressed anger in front of cameras and microphones yesterday, Babiš will have to look for a powerful patron who would secure his potential escape if he brought his rule to a "colonoscopy." According to him, Trump will most likely be a "lame duck" after November, while Xi is far away. He also mentioned Volodya as another possibility. #Babiš #politika #Trump (translated)

The author stated that he previously assumed that Russia would also partially concede in negotiations with the United States regarding Ukraine so that the West would not look bad. Now, according to him, the situation rather seemed to indicate that Donald Trump offered Vladimir Putin cheap oil and a free hand regarding Ukraine and Europe. The post ended with a question of where something is and included a link. https://t.co/i513EBg7ax #Ukrajina #Rusko #politika #US #RU #UA #EU (translated)

Andrej Fiskovec stated that the Russians spoke a few weeks ago about shortening the ban on diesel exports. According to him, Kushner and Witkoff must have known about it when they were in Moscow and later went to Kyiv. He described the actions of the American side as extraordinarily disgusting and wrote that it should never be forgotten. #Rusko #Export #USA (translated)

If the USA imports Russian oil, existing buyers of Russian fuel will have to purchase elsewhere, which will keep global prices at current levels. It somewhat resembles rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic,” said Michael Lynch from the Energy Policy Research Foundation. #Trump #Putin #Ukrajina (translated)
