A self-coup happening in Turkey! Istanbul mayor and the man to beat Erdoğan--Ekrem İmamoğlu--is arrested. Social media restrictions and ban on demonstrations in place... Threatened by surging opposition, Erdoğan is taking advantage of geopolitics & going full authoritarian! 1/2

Time spent reading books this year was time not spent doomscrolling. It was time spent getting to grips with the world anew, amid the shock, the incredulity provoked by Gaza.
Among the books I read this year, here are the most memorable ones.

What Ta-Nehisi Coates is doing, using his standing in the liberal mainstream to enter rarefied mainstream spaces to speak out on behalf of Palestinians, even though those spaces will be invariably hostile and even perhaps subsequently foreclosed to him, is incredible

Disgusting scenes at amstedam encampemnt - people waking up to bulldozers, riot police, pepper spray, unhinged arrests en masse. Hearing ambulances literally refusing to take injured people. Seems the dutch have been studying the tactics of US and israeli police. Many colleagues arested.

The ideological penetration of Indian science by Hindutva was starkly illustrated by a series tweets [that] praised the Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bangalore for designing a system that allowed sunlight to shine on the deity in the new temple at Ayodhya on Ram Navami.
