🚨 Turkish gov't got Elon Musk's X to block journalist Metin Cihan's account in Turkey. His "crime"? Exposing Turkey's ongoing trade with Israel during Gaza genocide using official data. Censorship in full force. He moves to Bluesky.

Türk İslam sentezi. Bunların hepsi 12 Eylül'ün meyveleri. Türkiye'de rejim o tarihte değişti, daha sonra değil.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem. 3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot. Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact. Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest. Of course there are more 3s

This is a really nice article that summarizes why private health insurance in US is so expensive but fails to provide the care it should, and how it turned out to be this way. stanmed.stanford.edu/how-health-i...

Here is why: private insurers spend somewhere 80-85% of the premiums on patient care. And this is ACA required range, it was like 75% before that. Same ratio is 98% for Medicare!! Where does private insurance spend the rest? Marketing, lobbying, admin. and profits… Private insurance has to go away!

Just @selcuksirin.com tirelessly defends, societies benefit enormously from investing in early childhood education. Data is indisputable. We cannot not invest in these programs, in US, in Türkiye, and anywhere else…
