Jiri Jicha wrote that Mike Pence, who was the Vice President of the United States during Donald Trump's first term, rejected the energy deal between the United States and Russia. According to Pence, Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel during ongoing assaults on civilian targets in Ukraine was nonsensical and a betrayal of the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He also stated that Putin’s war machine continued its attacks while Ukraine was fighting for its existence. According to Jicha, Pence urged Trump to immediately cancel the deal and return to the policies he advocated during his four years in the White House. He also demanded strict sanctions against any country purchasing Russian energy and cooperation with allies to ensure military support for Ukraine. #Ukrajina #Trump #Rusko (translated)

Tomáš Prouza claimed that the Prague magistrate abolished price caps for traditional taxis with taximeters from October 1, without notifying residents and tourists. According to him, this allowed drivers to charge a starting rate of 666 crowns and 444 crowns per kilometer, which he said could lead to rides costing tens of thousands of crowns. He linked the change to the long-term effort of traditional taxi drivers to limit competition from digital platforms. He stated that the parliamentary amendment, advocated by ANO and the Pirates, aimed to drive thousands of taxi drivers out of Prague. He attributed falling prices, better ride availability, and the ability to know the price in advance to the applications. According to Prouza, the responsibility for the taxi service area lay with Prague's deputy mayor for transport, Jaromír Beránek. Prouza called the change an adjustment pushed through at the request of the taxi mafia and warned that it could damage Prague's reputation. He also referred to the city's decision to abolish the price cap and questioned the timing of the change before the elections and its secrecy. https://t.co/ipI2QMVBLE #taxi #prague #praha #magistrat #taxi #praha #magistrat (translated)

Oliver Adámek wrote that Budapest's mayor Gergely Karácsony recalled Václav Havel yesterday. According to Adámek, his text demonstrated how Havel transcended borders and how he is spoken of in Hungary. In the text, Karácsony mentioned that Havel would have turned 90 years old and that without him, the democratic transformation of Central Europe would have been unimaginable. His essay from the late 1970s on "the power of the powerless" inspired regime opponents in Hungary and Poland and remains a significant legacy. He added that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney referenced it this January when calling for cooperation among democratic middle-sized countries. Karácsony described Havel as a defender of human rights, Visegrad cooperation, and European unity. According to him, Havel understood Europe as a lasting intellectual, moral, and political task that each generation must revisit. #VáclavHavel #LidskáPráva #Demokracie (translated)

Lukáš Eršil stated that Claude AI created a 3D model of the National Theatre for him after four days of interaction and adjustments, mostly during the evenings. According to him, the model captures the building in seven stages from the foundations to the dome from 1868 to 1883, the fire in 1881, and the subsequent restoration. It also includes a section of the building, a ten-layer X-ray of the technical equipment, and a night scene with the illuminated facade and trams. Eršil added that the model offers 49 interactive locations with descriptions in Czech and English, and he redrew the partitions on all floors according to the original plans from 1883. He estimated that the cost of creating the design using traditional methods was about 3 million crowns based on Czech price lists and would take four to five months of work for six to eight people. He published the code for free on GitHub and mentioned that he added a link to it as well as the executable Artifact in the comment. #3Dmodel #Národnídivadlo #ClaudeAI (translated)

Vít Rakušan wrote that his generation, including himself and his friends, liked Václav Havel and associated him with the wild nineties, travel, cultural diversity, and joy of life. After the death of Havel's wife Olga, he said he went to her funeral. When Havel died, he was a young mayor and displayed his portrait in front of the town hall and lit a candle. Rakušan stated that he still missed Havel. He described him as a complex and imperfect person who was authentic and wise and had a clear moral and political compass. According to Rakušan, totalitarians, former members of the StB, Communists, and Nazis breathed more easily in Havel's presence. After his departure, he said, society became coarser, the effort to come to terms with its own past diminished, and values lost their emphasis. Rakušan wrote that he did not wish Havel’s legacy to be remembered with pathos, sadness, or an artificial cult. He wanted, he said, to create the country that Havel desired: vibrant, civic, self-confident, free, and firmly anchored in the West, without self-justification and moral compromises. In conclusion, he wished Havel a happy birthday. #VáclavHavel #politika #českáhistorie (translated)
