Jamesons also wrote that many people had been impacted and transformed by culture and would come together to fight for democracy in the country.

Jānis Citskovskis wrote that in the published declaration of the former Director of the State Chancellery, Kronbergs, a compensation of 78,982 euros for 4.5 months of work in 2026 was indicated, although his monthly salary, according to Citskovskis, was 6,346 euros. He called on Andris Kulbergs to find out whether, with Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and Kronbergs agreeing on the termination of civil service relations, Kronbergs was also paid a severance allowance of three months' salary — more than 19 thousand euros. Citskovskis pointed out that the KNAB detained Kronbergs on May 14 of this year in a criminal case involving the timber industry, and Siliņa initially suspended him from office. Referring to what Kronbergs told LSM, he wrote that Kronbergs initially wanted to submit his resignation, but Siliņa urged him to reconsider. Later, they agreed to terminate civil service relations as of May 18. In Citskovskis' view, if Kronbergs had left voluntarily, he would not be entitled to the allowance, but the agreement might have allowed him to receive it according to paragraph 3 of section 12.¹ of the Compensation Law. Citskovskis mentioned court decisions in criminal cases regarding, in his opinion, illegal allowances paid to departing employees, including cases involving the former rector of the University of Latvia, Muižnieks, and the former mayor of Mārupe, Enci. He suggested that the agreement between Siliņa and Kronbergs might also be evaluated by the Prosecutor's Office. He also claimed that the amounts paid to Kronbergs were not listed in the salary lists published by the State Chancellery for May 2026, but the SRS only published his declaration submitted on July 5 on the evening of October 2. Citskovskis called on Andris Kulbergs and Mārtiņš Gruškevics to address the officials of the State Chancellery, whom he believes have repeatedly violated the requirement to publish paid salaries. He asserted that the lists tend not to be available precisely in the months when bonuses and cash prizes are paid, such as in December 2025, and that they are published with significant delays. #ValstsKanceleja #Amatpersonas #Transparence (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)

Marats Kasems wrote that Natālija Kuprijanova moved from Daugavpils to Krasnodar with her three sons because, according to her, the Latvian language caused one son to have epileptic seizures. Kasems pointed out that the son is now taking medication and there have been no more seizures, but Kuprijanova associates the improvement with moving to Russia. Kasems claimed that in Krasnodar, Kuprijanova's sons were not admitted to a general education school because they had not passed the Russian language exam required for migrant children. According to him, Kuprijanova planned to complain to Vladimir Putin and noted that her family is ethnically Russian and Old Believers. Kasems contrasted this situation with the circumstances in Latvia, where children, according to him, could attend school for free. #vatņiki #krievija #Daugavpils #deokupācija #LatviešuValoda #vatņiki #krievija #LatviešuValoda (translated)

Michal Hardyn stated that after two years and more than 60,000 kilometers driven, he completed the first regular service with his Tesla, focused on filter replacement and basic inspection. He paid 8,000 and according to him, it was done before he finished his coffee and dealt with several emails. He said he was enjoying the experience with the car more and more, and in the showroom, he promised Adrian from Tesla in Prague that he would try to purchase a Model Y Performance in the spring. At the open house event at Tesla in Průhonice on Saturday, according to Hardyn, there were hundreds of people and the showroom was crowded. They presented FSD, which is the system where the car drives itself and the driver supervises. Hardyn wrote that some participants already had this function, while his vehicle was still waiting for the update. He described the most interesting experience as the voice assistant Grok in Tesla. He explained that while driving, he asked it to find a newsletter from the office, read it, and open an attachment that contained, according to him, the answer to the question of when the reconstructed playground would reopen. He added that he could also access files on Google Drive or GitHub this way and can voice-search for the highest-rated McDonald’s restaurant along the route. Hardyn compared the current situation of car manufacturers to the former competition between Nokia phones and the iPhone. According to him, traditional manufacturers focus on choosing interior colors and more complex configurators, while customers are starting to care about what the car can achieve during the journey. He wrote that cars should serve people, not the other way around. #Tesla #autonomnířízení #zážitky (translated)
