Made this track with Suno.ai, blending indie, reggae, and desert blues, then created the visual inspired by Terakaft’s Akh Issudar in mind, and a touch of Van Gogh in the sky.

“Doing science ought to mean asking your own questions, making your own investigations, and drawing your own conclusions for your own reasons.” This quote appeals to me on so many levels—likely beyond what Chang has intended.

The Black Flag Group of some 800 academics in Israel is calling upon the heads of Israeli universities and colleges to mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza

We, members of the academic and administrative staff in institutions of higher
education in Israel, call on you to act immediately to mobilize the full weight of
Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza.
Israeli higher education institutions play a central role in the struggle against the
judicial overhaul. It is precisely against this backdrop that their silence in the face of
the killing, starvation, and destruction in Gaza, and in the face of the complete
elimination of the educational system there, its people, and its structures, is so striking.
Since Israel violated the ceasefire on March 18, almost 3,000 people have been killed in
Gaza. The vast majority of them were civilians. Since the start of the war, at least
53,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including at least 15,000 children and at least 41
Israeli hostages. At the same time, many international bodies are warning of acute
starvation – the result of intentional and openly declared Israeli government policy – as
well as of the rendering of Gaza into an area unfit for human habitation. Israel
continues to bomb hospitals, schools, and other institutions. Among the war’s declared
goals, as defined in the orders for the current military operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” is
the “concentration and displacement of the population.” This is a horrifying litany of
war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing.
As academics, we recognize our own role in these crimes. It is human societies, not
governments, that commit crimes against humanity. Some do so by means of direct
violence. Others do so by sanctioning the crimes and justifying them, before and after
the fact, and by keeping quiet and silencing voices in the halls of learning. It is this
bond of silence that allows clearly evident crimes to continue unabated without
penetrating the barriers of recognition.
We cannot claim that we did not know. We have been silent for too long.

do indians know that turkish has a slang word "indiragandi" as a verb, meaning "to pocket something"? it's not related to indira gandhi herself but her name phonetically resembles the actual turkish word "indir/indirmek", so people has started using that instead. still in use since the 90's or so.

Is Bluesky going to be the enforcer of "local laws" even when these laws are found to be against international conventions and basic human rights? It would probably be understandable if such laws required to censor accounts or posts in the country where they are illegal, but everywhere?

Altuğ Öztürk @altugozturk.bsky.social · Apr 16

After X’s repressive actions, hundreds of thousands in Turkey joined Bluesky, seeking a freer space. Reports of government censorship here are deeply troubling. Don’t squander this trust. This is a critical moment for principled leadership—not silent compromise. @jay.bsky.team

The Israeli army is facing its biggest refusal crisis in decades

Over 100,000 Israelis have reportedly stopped showing up for reserve duty. While their reasons differ, the scale demonstrates the war’s waning legitimacy.

sosyal medya kabızı olmuşum, aklıma yazacak bir şey gelmiyor. bunlar hep kalitesiz içerikle beslenmekten. ya sen de sağa sola sallayacaksın ya da okuyup ibret alacaksın. harcadığım kilobaytlarla bir avuç insanı zengin edeceğime, en iyisi tenha mecralarda kendi kendime konuşmak.

Tez döneminde sosyal medyadan uzak kalmıştım. Sonra okuyucu olarak döndüm ama Musk, siteyi tam bir tımarhaneye çevirmiş. Bluesky ise uzun süredir sadece Amerikan muhalif akademisinin yankı odası gibiydi. Ama yavaştan 2010’ların timeline'ına benzemeye başlayor. Merhaba.
