Our new video on academic AI tools at SosyalKafa
After a long hiatus, Sinem and I streamed a new video at SosyalKafa. This was an update to our academic AI tools stream that took a few years ago. It is in Turkish, but a lengthy summary in English is available here. Artificial Intelligence and…
A perfect interview with @zarahsultana.bsky.social. The term “political homelessness” used by her is applicable to many other countries too unfortunately. youtu.be/VDC8lNkFfTQ?...

New York Times artık safı ve tarafı belli bir mücadele organıdır. Meslektaşlarımız bazen ona haddinden fazla otorite atfediyorlar. Evet, bazı konularda hâlâ ciddî yayın organı. Ama mesele milyarderlerle yoksul halk mevzularına geldiğinde tercihi Trump bile olabilecek bir "sözcü".
RTÜK oluşumu nedeniyle “bağımsız” bir yayın denetle kurulu niteliğine sahip olamaz. Parti içi bürokratik atamalarla oluşmuştur. Bu da üyelerin kendilerini atayan partilerin hiyerarşisine bağlı olmalarını mecbur kılıyor.
Alınan kararlar hukuki degildir yayıncılıkla ilgili hiç degildir politiktir…
NYTimes, how low can you go?
“add your pronouns” prompt with turkish selected as the language.
turkish doesn’t have gendered pronouns. how can #instagram not know that?
Last week, Trump:
- launched military strikes against Iran.
- called for Republican lawmakers to defund Voice of America.
- called Zohran Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic” and said “Democrats have crossed the line” by voting for him.
While almost everyone has fallen for Netanyahu's ploy of focusing on Iranian-US-Israeli air strikes, Israel has been intensifying its genocide. For the sake of humanity, ALL EYES ON GAZA! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...
We have all witnessed the dangers of a Middle East where Israel remains the only nuclear power. What we are seeing is a sustained tyranny that threatens every Muslim nation—with impunity.
Everything about European cynicism is encapsulated in this post. Apparently, complicity in genocide was no longer enough. What’s next—wearing T-shirts with fascist Netanyahu’s portrait on them?
Bağlamından koparılmış bir kesit marifetiyle yapıldığı anlaşılan bu tutuklama, Fatih Altaylı’nın sadece YouTube üzerinden koca koca kanalların ulaşamadığı çeşitlilikte bir kitleye ulaşmasının çok rahatsız edici olduğunun bir teyidi olarak okunabilir. Herkes biliyor ki ne tehdit ne hakaret var.
This is well beyond complicity now.
SETA’nın “Uluslararası medya ve uzantıları" başlıklı fişleme raporu, DW, BBC, VOA, Independent, Euronews gibi kuruluşların Türkçe servisleri ile gazetecileri nasıl etkiledi? Raporun altı yıllık yansımasını araştırdım. Rapor fiilen uygulamada aslında! Yazı linki www.farukbildirici.com/2025/06/14/g...
Enabled by your government.
Just yesterday, a pro-Israel journalist framed Iran’s weakening as a “strategic opportunity” for Turkey. Mere hours later, the assaults began. The machinery of opinion-making operates with the same systemic precision as the machinery of genocide.
The international carte blanche extended to Israel reveals a deeper truth: so-called Western civilization, long draped in the language of human rights functions in practice as a regime of selective ethics—where power dictates justice, and silence greets atrocity when committed by allies.
Yes, advocating for peace is a moral imperative. But when confronted with a state that enforces war through terror and systematic violence, the priority must be its international isolation, disarmament, and the imposition of severe political and legal consequences.
Israel has once again proven itself a force of genocide and regional destabilization. The silent journalists and politicians are not neutral—they’re mercenaries of moral collapse.
Those who oppose the Palestinian cause out of secular prejudice, and conservatives who turn a blind eye to this tragedy out of economic convenience—both have failed this fundamental test of humanity.
Do the mediocre, media-clown pseudo-intellectuals who once mocked Greta with smug disdain feel any shame today? Unlikely. They’ve contributed nothing to the world but the noise of their own shallow opinions—always ready to pounce on any microphone, never on a meaningful cause.

Disturbing yet not surprising: Generative AI is now used to clone and plagiarize French media outlets in French-speaking Africa. Ethical journalism and media integrity face unprecedented challenges. @rsf.org explores this troubling trend.

This May Day, maybe it's time we also recognize the invisible labor of robots and AI—the code that never sleeps, the algorithm that’s always optimizing. Who works when no one is watching?
ani ölüm sebebi grip enfeksiyonu kaynaklı çoklu organ yetmezliğiymiş. grip deyip geçiyoruz ama ne kadar ölümcül bir hastalık olabildiğini unutuyoruz.
