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 Academic Tools Artificial intelligence has become an important tool in academic research. Researchers are increasing their efficiency by using artificial intelligence applications in processes such as literature review and data analysis.

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…

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/...
Israel kills at least 43 Palestinians in Gaza, including aid seekers
Among the dozens killed are 20 aid seekers, as NGO warns Israel is also deliberately blocking energy access.

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.
June 22, 2025 at 4:51 PM
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?
Iran must never acquire the bomb.

With tensions in the Middle East at a new peak, stability must be the priority.

And respect for international law is critical.

Now is the moment for Iran to engage in a credible diplomatic solution.

The negotiating table is the only place to end this crisis.

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.

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...

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.
June 13, 2025 at 5:32 AM
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.

ani ölüm sebebi grip enfeksiyonu kaynaklı çoklu organ yetmezliğiymiş. grip deyip geçiyoruz ama ne kadar ölümcül bir hastalık olabildiğini unutuyoruz.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ceren İskit, a journalist who persistently continued her work in both Turkish and English. We had the honor of crossing paths with her through @newslabturkey.bsky.social's programs. Our condolences to her loved ones.
