Jan Betlach wrote that Chen Kugel, head of the Israeli National Center of Forensic Medicine, described previously unpublished findings from the autopsies of the victims of the October 7 attack after nearly three years. According to Betlach's contribution, the center's workers found intentionally mutilated bodies, tied and executed individuals, and decapitated victims, including children. Soot in the airways of some victims, according to Kugel, indicated that they were burned alive. Kugel stated, according to Betlach, that the attackers first shot a girl around twelve years old in the head and then decapitated her. He also mentioned foreign workers who, according to him, were found locked in a room with gunshot wounds to their legs and left to bleed out. Different methods of killing at various locations, according to Kugel, indicated a premeditated plan. In one bunker, the attackers used flammable substances, while elsewhere they murdered tied individuals and mutilated bodies both before and after death. In the weeks following October 7, the center received about 3,000 bags, mostly containing body parts and burned bones, according to Betlach. The forensic team gradually identified all the murdered individuals, including a young woman from the Nova festival. Her remains, according to the report, were burned in an ambulance hit by a grenade, and identification was made possible by DNA found on her pendant. Betlach also stated that the work had mental repercussions on Kugel and other workers at the center. According to him, Kugel developed post-traumatic stress disorder. https://t.co/TnENwfdS30 #Izrael #masakr #forenznívěda (translated)

Fráňa Šrámek shared a text by Matěj Hollan, who claimed that ANO brought Russian influences into politics with the announced Senate candidacy of Sandy Tsoukernik. Hollan linked her chances of being elected in Cheb to the popularity of Michal David's concerts, which, according to him, were supported by her husband. Hollan stated that Tsoukernik sold her stake in the casino business in June 2024 and that in May 2026, the online betting and casino operation Kingsbet was taken over by the Novomatic group. He claimed that Novomatic strengthened its position in the Czech gambling market with this. He also reminded that the Admiral casino operated in the King's Resort complex in Rozvadov and that the slot machines in both casinos came from Novomatic. Hollan further linked Novomatic to the Russian environment and mentioned its business in St. Petersburg. According to the text he quoted, a joint casino called Neva Chance was established there in 1993, whose Russian partner was located at the same address as the St. Petersburg City Hall committee led by Vladimir Putin, and used the same phone number. He also mentioned alleged ties to Gennady Petrov and Alexander Malyshev, the Wirecard case, and Jan Marsalek. Regarding the planned Novomatic casino in Tuchoměřice, he stated that the locals rejected it by a margin of 84.5 percent. #hazard #politika #Rusko (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that after sharing a statement from 40 editors-in-chief, he criticized the journalistic community for failing to unanimously agree on a rejection of violence and equal access to information sharing. He added that he generally expressed his personal opinion about those who repeatedly did not stand up for their colleagues. Subsequently, according to him, he received a number of insults and comparisons to communists. He emphasized that by not signing the statement, in his view, no harm was caused to anyone nor will it be. He stated that he did not plan to fire, kill, or hang anyone and did not prepare lists of inconvenient people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for supporting their colleagues across the field and apologized to them that the discussion had shifted in a different direction due to his contribution. He responded to criticism with several other apologies, including to podcast entrepreneurs, a former colleague, a Czech writer, and a former MEP. Regarding the former colleague, he recalled that for the last 10 years, the status of journalism had been labeled bad, despite the fact that they worked for the same media for six years, which the colleague led. He also mentioned that he apologized for his surname starting with the letter B, which he had for 37 years, and for the reference to Chinese spies. He also apologized to the media Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which he said were not invited to the statement, despite discussions about its wording lasting a month. He offered to connect anyone interested in adding their signature with the organizers, among whom he claimed he did not belong. In a note, he stated that he deleted the original post because he confused two writers and mistook a father for a son in connection with the anti-chart. He apologized for the error, yet called the comparison to the anti-chart inappropriate, stating that parallels with the communist past, in his view, did not help anything. #žurnalistika #svobodaSlova #politika (translated)

Martin Bartkovský stated that when he shared the statement from forty editors-in-chief, he did not expect the reaction it would provoke. He criticized that the journalistic community he addressed, according to him, was unable to unanimously agree even on rejecting violence in their relationship with politicians and on equal access to sharing information. He added that he expressed his personal judgment about those who repeatedly refused to stand up for their colleagues in an indirect manner. For that, he claimed to have received a number of insults and comparisons to communists; one of the people who signed the Anticharta wrote to him that he had never seen anything more disgusting. Bartkovský clarified that not signing the statement did not harm anyone and would not harm anyone, and he rejected the idea that he wanted to dismiss, threaten, or create lists of uncomfortable people. He thanked the remaining 39 editors-in-chief for their support for colleagues from the entire field and apologized to them for the discussion veering in a different direction due to his contribution. He then made a series of apologies that he delivered ironically: among other things, to podcast entrepreneurs for reminding him of something other than Chinese communism, to a former colleague for criticizing journalism at a time when they both worked in the same media for six years, and to a Czech writer for reminding him of his signature on the Anticharta. He also apologized to those who labeled him a "svazák" (a term for a member of the youth organization during the communist regime) and to a former Member of the European Parliament regarding his judgment about Bartkovský's character. He added that he also apologizes to the media outlets Euro, Info, Zdopravy, Okraj, and Chiptron, which, according to him, were not addressed, even though the text had been discussed for a month. He offered to connect interested parties with the organizers of the statement so that they could join him. #žurnalistika #komunikace #mediálníetiketa (translated)

The conductor said that, as a Rom, he found the president's non-participation in the elections somewhat sympathetic in a sense, but according to him, it was primarily a matter for the president himself: by not voting in Černouček, he forfeited the opportunity to call on citizens to participate in the elections. He added that the president, as a strategist, must have known what such a step meant. He feared that it could suggest that the president was "drawing the curtain," but at the same time stated that it was premature to draw such a conclusion. He also reacted to the contribution from the organization Milion chvilek and its image "Don't be like the president." He rejected that the president's absence from the elections should be a reason for moral condemnation and asked which current politician had done more for the Czech Republic than the president. He labeled the real problems as being the government of former members of the StB with the support of fascists. He also claimed that one of them is robbing the country, indebting the next generation, and considering the collection of homeless people and their internment with forced labor. #prezident #volby #politika (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)

Patryk Wild wrote that the new regulations regarding railway tunnels may force the redesign of the tunnel and the CPK terminal. According to him, Article 41, paragraph 2 of the regulation requires that the supports of tunnels located under buildings be at least 4 meters away from the axis of the main tracks. Wild assessed that the current design requires changes in 99 percent of cases, as part of the tunnel runs under the terminal. He pointed out that the regulations would mean the necessity of running tracks in a nave wider than 12 meters between supports, or each track in a separate nave wider than 8 meters. Wild claimed that the tunnel project, which was nearing completion, and the terminal, for which a building permit was being obtained, were prepared in accordance with previous Polish regulations, EU TSI Infrastructure requirements, and the knowledge of design firms. According to him, the disputed provision was not included in the original draft of the regulation nor was raised during consultations, but appeared after their conclusion, in February of this year. Wild argued that the regulation concerned one facility in Poland, for whose design over 2 billion PLN had been issued or needed to be issued, taking into account the work already completed. The author linked the emergence of the provision to the Ministry of Infrastructure and wrote that oversight of the construction of CPK was exercised by the plenipotentiary, Deputy Minister Piotr Malepszak, who also supervised the ministry department that prepared the regulation. He added that the NeoCPK management could have requested an exemption from the minister, but he considered such a scenario unlikely. He suggested that the person responsible for the decisions should explain their effects to prosecutors. Wild assessed that with such requirements, neither the Central Station in Warsaw nor the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin would have been built. He also predicted that the regulations would prevent the construction of the northern frontage of Aleje Jerozolimskie above the tracks, as the new tunnel would have to be wider. In a broader context, he mentioned the dismissal of Maciej Lasek, a lack of funds for the investment, and the exclusion of CPK from the law on accelerating strategic investments, while including Duoport. He considered these issues to be elements of actions against the CPK project. #CPK #budownictwo #transport (translated)
