    1. [Mysterious envelope opened: Masaryk wrote about serious illness, Germans, and his funeral](https://www.idnes.cz/zpravy/domaci/tgm-lany-posledni-slova-prezident-petr-pavel.A250918_143829_domaci_row)

      > A mysterious envelope containing T. G. Masaryk’s last words was opened at Lány Castle in the presence of President Petr Pavel. According to archivists and experts, most of the words on the five A5 pages are in English. However, they probably do not date from 1937, when the first Czechoslovak president died. Masaryk wrote about his funeral and about Andrej Hlinka. His words were recorded by his son Jan.

      > “The document looks authentic, it is written on material that also bears the TGM symbol. It is almost entirely in English,” said historian Dagmar Hájková from the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences after a brief analysis.

      > “I am sick. Seriously ill. The end is coming, but I am not afraid. You will continue the work. You know how to behave. I don’t need to tell you anything more,” wrote Masaryk according to Hájková. The word “fool” also appears in the text. It appears in the context of Slovak Andrej Hlinka, founder of the far-right Hlinka’s People’s Party of Slovakia. Masaryk also wrote about Germans. “Give them what they deserve, but no more,” he said.

      > “If people are uneducated and stupid, there’s not much you can do,” the text also states, which, according to Hájková, is perhaps the most important message in the entire text.

      > “The text is five pages long, so the analysis was very quick. We did not expect such an extensive record. We have come to the conclusion that it is not a forgery. However, the date is unclear,” said Milan Vojáček, director of the National Archives.

      Andrej Hlinka was a fool. Oh man, Slovak nationalists will have a field day with this one. Can’t wait to read the whole thing once it’s made available.

      Does this mean we’re about to see another Hari Seldon crisis?

      Would have been really funny if it was something like

      “To whom it may concern,
      The washing machine you recently installed in my apartment is absolutely terrible. When it runs, it sounds like an animal is dying inside. It also shakes violently. Please remove this piece of crap immediately from my house or I will leave a very bad review about your company! “

      the letter must be legit with some real fire lines if the guy on the left is doing a proper stank face 😀

      I just really find it funny how they look at it like it’s Masaryk’s horcrux or something.

      This is a very nice birthday gift, it’s cool to read something this important for a country that is not where i come from but definitely something super meaningful.

      Why have they invited Chris Morris and Peter O’Hanrahanrahan to do the honours?!

      Saw the image before reading the caption and thought for a second that David Lynch had come back from the dead to give us an Eraserhead sequel.
