#ChatGPT's new memory aggregator describes me. I would like to disavow its characterisation of the #Abjad system as an 'oddity' but I do feel seen

Genius elegy for the underwhelming season of #ACMilan and the management ills behind it, set to music from Frozen. It’s been stuck in my head for 2 days now youtube.com/shorts/YR4cF...

Really enjoyed listening to #JohnMcManus talk about #TurkishFootball with @peterjcherry.bsky.social & #IsilayGursu on #HeritageTurkiye, the new podcast from @thebiaankara.bsky.social. John’s 2018 book on the topic, ‘Welcome to Hell?’, is even better (a.co/d/0mYWBc3)

Match Day 5: #HakanCalhanoglu & #InterMilan win; #KeremAkturkoglu, #OrkunKokcu & #Benfica win; #KenanYildiz & #Juventus draw; #ArdaGuler & #RealMadrid lose. Just keeping tabs. I know it's a weird way to mentally frame it but I'm rooting for the #MilliTakimlar diaspora in #ChampionsLeague

I’m trying to put together a starter pack for historians of the Ottoman Empire. Who should be added?

Hi new Bluesky users! You might hear that Bluesky "doesn't have an algorithm", which is kind of true, kind of not. Bluesky has the concept of "feeds", which are tabs that provide you different algorithms of content that you can subscribe to and view. I'll talk a little bit about that here: 🧵
