When you look at Turkey and ask why Erdoğan’s regime chose to jail a political opponent now, the answer lies in a climate of impunity — as I argued in @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/europe...
Erdogan jailed his political rival in an age of impunity
The Turkish president’s calculation was callous and plain: I can jail my main opponent. If they put forward another, I’ll jail that one too

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Eggers’s Nosferatu is a disappointing remake. It made me want to rewatch Murnau’s original—a film I already revisit at least 2 times a year for my class!
