2025 was one of the worst years of my life for the most part, but moving to Bodrum and starting sertraline turned it on its head (see Mood). Feeling great now, and grateful for the support of my family, friends, & partner.

Partner thought her mint candies were covered with mold. Under microscope (100–400×) they looked like crystals to me and after some googling I concluded these were menthol crystals grown thanks to humidity and heat. She still didn’t want to eat them.

Back in the 90s I led a team of artists and researchers mapping out all the debates about AI. It was a huge project. We read over a thousand papers and organized it all into a massive set of debate maps. 1/3

I visualized how the population distribution by provinces in Türkiye has changed since 1927 (not showing the total population growth in this one). Dots are distributed uniformly within province boundaries; they don’t claim to show settlement areas. Thread↓

We wouldn’t have to deal with this much disease if we solved this gas exchange thing more gracefully, without taking it all in every few seconds through wet sticky pipes and bags inside us. Breathing was a bad idea.
