This is why Vance, Musk & the rest of them talk about our ‘free speech’ being under threat while they fast track actual fascism in the USA. It’s a long con & their accomplices are far-right blue ticks with the brains of blancmange.
European Union prepares major penalties against Elon Musk’s social media platform X for breaking a landmark law to combat illicit content and disinformation. The penalties are set to include a fine and demands for product changes.

Gazze meselesi bu Türk toplumu için bir vicdan değil bir mezhep meseledir. Alevi çocuklarının Suriye’de kafası kesilirken, Yemen’de Husi çocukları, Lübnan’da Şii çocukları bombalanırken asla ses çıkarmazlar.

Boykot urunlerine alternatif gosterilenlerin bir tanesi Rumlarin mallarina coken, AKP oncesi Turkiye’de kendi urunlerini bakanliktan kolaylikla gecirmek icin memurlari maasa baglayan, bu yolla rakip olabilecek urunlerin de girisini engelleyen bir marka. Is ahlaki olan durust ureticileri bulmak lazim
Tek tek bütün markalara bilenme turunu tamamlayınca sorunun kötü markalar ve cici markalar değil, emek sermaye çelişkisi olduğunu idrak edeceğiz diye umuyorum.

I remember exactly why I first made the move to Bluesky: it was when the London Review of Books announced they would no longer be using X. A reminder of where my loyalties truly lie - good books, thoughtful criticism, and principled publishing.

Entelektüel kesim ondokuzuncu yüzyılda da azınlıktaydı ama şimdikinden farklı olarak her biri birer rol modeliydi, bilime, sanata, diplomaya büyük saygı vardı. Günümüzde bilginin kolay ulaşılabilir olması, bilim yapmanın da aynı derecede kolay olduğu yanılgısını beraberinde getirdi.
