Considering Turkey has the second biggest army in NATO (plus the recent miltech developments), what Trump and US has been doing lately might end up pushing EU and Turkey developing a much closer relationship. Which can change things in a really interesting way.

So glad I didn’t woke up 4 in the morning for this. Also Mark Daigneault made it into my hate list for making Alpi play only 20 seconds in the final game. It’s just disrespectful.

This. Just because something seems obvious to you —or can be learned easily— doesn’t mean same goes for everyone. Most of the time the opposite is the case. All of us have similar gaps in our knowledge. But being aware of it or accepting it is something only a minority is capable of.

1. 2 gün önce, "mevcut ortamda, sadece Artı Gerçek değil, otoritenin beğenmediği tüm sosyal medya hesapları keyfi bir şekilde sansürlenebilir" uyarısında bulunmuştum. Bu keyfiyetin en çarpıcı örneği gazeteci @metcihan.bsky.social'ın X hesabının engellenmesidir.

As the @bruces.bsky.social saying goes: I blame science fiction dystopias. Or maybe just the Orwellian science fiction dystopias to be more specific. Turkish media watchdog: “TV news which make it look like nothing good is happening in the country will be fined from the highest level.”

I’ve been criticizing the Turkish government for having serious data leaks from ministries but all of this makes them look more competent than the US government. (Which is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.)

«“Financial markets analyst” is very high on the at-risk list of job titles. If the response is for analysts to do weird stuff, like putting Hide-The-Pain Harold in their slide decks, that’s OK. Being weirder than AI is the added value.»

Well, those might seem dystopian if you’re from “the West” but some of them might even end up being utopian if you’re from anywhere else, trust me.

You know it’s the first step of something more when a “monopoly investigation” of a talent agent ties her (and tries to connect some well known actors she represents) to Gezi Park protests and gets her arrested. I wonder which genius planned this one.

I see many people in the replies think it’s scam/spam but health tourism (especially hair transplant and plastic surgery) is a huge business in Turkey. www.cbsnews.com/news/turkey-... But I don’t even have a guess on why they want to collab with Hank.

I’m not sure whether it’ll happen or not but it’s odd that there is no mention of İstanbul during this discussion. İstanbul has the most teams participated in the league history, and in the last decade there was only one year when Final Fours didn’t have a team from İstanbul.

[Žižek voice] And what is it the hippos were hungry for? The empty, white sphere of fantasy, onto which they—and the children who controlled them—could project their desire. Once captured, each hippo releases this desire, unconsumed, into a pen to contain it, before beginning the search for more.
