Andrej Fiskovec wrote that Marco Rubio claimed that Starshield had no connection to Ukraine. Fiskovec argued that U.S. government contracts indicated that the U.S. Air Force was procuring the service with funds from a foreign government and that the connection for the Ukrainian army was being funded by Germany and Poland. When Washington restricted the service, Fiskovec claimed it interfered with a contract that had already been paid for, in which he was the supplier himself. Fiskovec stated that this approach could have far-reaching consequences for future contracts between Washington and its allies, regardless of who will be in the White House. In his article, he addressed how the restrictions on access to Starlink and Starshield services harmed Ukraine. He added that the article was not behind a paywall and asked readers to share and subscribe. https://t.co/SGhsCmhDZZ #Starshield #Ukrajina #Washington (translated)

Kutil Tona described Radek Vondráček as a "born democrat" and wrote that he believes ANO will not succeed in the senatorial elections, and therefore he will propose a change to the electoral system. According to him, such a procedure seemed logical to Vildumetzová, who claimed that voters are confused. Tona pointed out the contradiction: when people vote for ANO, they are considered wise, while in another vote they are seen as confused. According to him, ANO should examine its own policies instead of looking for problems in the electoral system. #politika #volby #demokracie (translated)

The author of the contribution accused the government of abusing patriotism to defend its own power. He recalled Samuel Johnson's statement from 1775 about patriotism as the "last refuge of a scoundrel" and stated that Johnson did not criticize love of country, but warned against those who, in his view, hide behind national symbols when they run out of arguments. https://t.co/WaMKqUSVIm #vlastenectví #politika #společnost #CZ (translated)

Kutil Tona asked whether critics minded that the citizens of Plzeň chose a candidate they did not consider sufficiently connected to the city. He reminded them that Andrej Babiš repeatedly ran in regions where he did not live and pointed out politicians who changed their permanent residence due to candidacy. He stated that he did not deny the candidate's abilities, work ethic, or that she could have done something for Plzeň. However, he labeled her candidacy for the ANO movement as a political disadvantage, as it had been associated with so many scandals and controversies that part of the electorate did not trust it. According to him, the result was not evidence of the voters' incapacity, but a consequence of the reputation that ANO had built for itself. He urged critics to think about why voters preferred another candidate instead of insulting them and added that voters did not have to vote according to their expectations. #Plzeň #Politika #VolebníPráva (translated)

NIC NEVIM stated that the market is beginning to sober up from expectations related to the construction of data centers and the purchase of expensive chips and memory. According to him, the demand for capital is extraordinarily high, while the available money is running out. At OpenAI, he mentioned annualized revenues of $50 billion, but also stated that the company is still losing money due to high model training costs. He believes that the growth in revenues at this stage does not indicate long-term profitability. According to him, companies and individuals are now experimenting with AI and spending on tokens, but often do not yet see corresponding economic returns. If this does not change quickly, he believes it will be difficult to justify further extensive investments in infrastructure. He added that the costs must eventually be paid by someone, and end consumers do not currently have enough money for that. #ekonomika #uměláinteligence #datacentra (translated)

David Rangl published a political satire in the style of "Hey people," in which he mocked the reactions to the Senate elections. Its fictional narrator claimed that his party objectively won the elections, even though it did not gain any senators according to the text. He attributed the result to voters, the media, and artists, referencing Patrik Nacher and Klempíř. In a passage about Cheb, Rangl wrote that Sandra Tsoukernik received 27 percent in the first round and almost 29 percent in the second, while Plevný had 71 percent according to the text. The satirical narrator emphasized the alleged growth of support and recalled seven concerts by Michal David. Rangl also parodied the narrator's remarks about Karviná and Orlová, Karel's trip to India, where he was supposed to have 25 meetings, and the meeting with Zelensky in Brussels. He labeled the Senate as unnecessary and wrote that the party would first win it, then abolish it, and possibly re-establish it. In conclusion, he stated that it was political satire and that readers should wait for the real "Hey people." #volby #politika #českárepublika (translated)

The ANO movement suffered a catastrophic result in the Senate elections, as in the second round it failed to gain the votes of its own voters from the first round, with the sole exception in Plzeň, consequently losing all its senators. #SenátníVolby #HnutíANO #AndrejBabiš (translated)
