Iranians flee to Turkey. ‘I am in constant fear,’ says one.

“Iranians trickling across the border into Turkey this week painted a picture of destruction and fear hanging over their cities under U.S.-Israeli bombardment.”

Afaik it’s coming from anti-imperialist left circles, because calling Americans is not fair to the rest of the continent — especially the south.

*I wonder if there is a "Tao of Polycrisis" where no crisis is ever confronted and resolved. Rather, the ever-renewing crises gently compost the older crises, which fade from awareness, because their victims are mostly dead

Let's talk about why the Citrini "scenario" falls short on being a proper and useful scenario and why you shouldn't try to market your predictions as scenarios — especially in times like these.

🧟 Gazeteciliğin Ölümü ve Yeniden Doğuşu Bu sayının anahtar kelimeleri: Next Gen News, Washington Post, Jimmy Lai, Apple kilit modu.

Bu sayının ana başlığı gazeteciliğin acilen ihtiyacı olan dönüşümünün önündeki engeller. Bu engelleri aşmak için gazeteciliğin bazı kısımlarının ölmesine izin vermemiz şart.

Her ay olduğu gibi gündemde öne çıkan ve önemli bulduğum başlıklar da bültende.

Iranians in Turkey flee repression and bear witness to the bloodshed in their country The brutal response of the Iranian regime against protesters has led many Iranians to seek refuge in neighboring Turkey. Their stories attest to the cruelty that the authorities have shown since the beginning of the protest movement.

Turkey was already receiving refugees because of the Iran’s response to the protests so these will definitely cause more people to escape over here.

World Literacy Why the audience arrives already knowing how the world works.

Audiences now arrive at a media franchise already knowing how worlds work. Not that world, specially, but worlds in general. Audiences have a new fluency that they didn’t consciously acquire
