A Gen X cynic brewing sarcasm as dark as Turkish coffee. Served from London with dry, surreal wit and a splash of existential dread. Ranting about UK and Turkish politics since before Wi-Fi.

Travis Scott, Astroworld’de insanlar ezilirken konser modundan çıkamadı. Kanye West’in CV’si artık albüm listesi değil: cinsel taciz iddiaları, antisemitizm, Nazi estetiği ve “Heil Hitler” diye şarkı. Pop kültür değil bu; medeniyetin “low battery” uyarısı.

The PG Morgan report was apparently clear as day, and Starmer read it. So either he understood it and ignored it, or read it the way he governs: blankly, cautiously, and with all the conviction of a man choosing hummus in Waitrose. Either way, resign.

Kaya Genç’s portrait of Burhan Sönmez is so beautifully written it reads like a novel, except it is a life. The opening is cinematic, then it turns tender, angry, hopeful. This is political writing with an actual human heart.

A Jewish politician writing a full-throated solidarity post about a Muslim man in politics. Sorry, is this Britain or a brief glitch in the culture-war matrix? Someone pinch me. Oh BTW: Vote Green 💚

They said Zack Polanski was unhinged. He just read the small print while everyone waved flags. He’s been vindicated before, and he’s right again: NATO is a risk we call a virtue. Time to talk about leaving. Vote Green 💚 Follow Jack: @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK to allow US to use British bases for defensive strikes against Iran
Keir Starmer says the UK has not been involved in the US-Israeli strikes, but warned that 200,000 British people are in countries being targeted by Iran

Strait of Hormuz traffic halts and oil jumps into the high $70s, with whispers of $100 if it drags on. This is the bit where geopolitics stops being a headline and becomes your electricity bill. Markets don’t do morality plays, they do supply chains.

So the plan is: stop kids seeing harmful content by making everyone upload sensitive data into the most leak-prone ecosystem ever invented. Love that. Very “set the house on fire to avoid candles.”

Being Gen X, I don’t do political crushes. I don’t do hero worshipping. But watching Zack Polanski on Channel 4 after that win, looking genuinely human for once, I felt something dangerously unfamiliar in my chest: hope. Yes, for the first time in my life too. 💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmRK...

Take it to Westminster — and bring a defibrillator. Empathy hasn’t had a pulse there in years. Dream guest? Netanyahu — so you can show how Jewish identity can heal instead of harm. 💚

If we let grief be weaponised, we all lose. Fighting antisemitism, Islamophobia, genocide, and terror is one struggle. Anything less is surrendering the future to the far right. 🕯️ #Manchester #Antisemitism #UKPolitics

True solidarity means holding two truths at once: – October 7th was a massacre. – Gaza is a genocide. Mourning one while ignoring the other isn’t compassion. It’s political convenience dressed as empathy.

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
“Stop the marches” we heard at a vigil. Translation: silence pro-Palestine solidarity. But criticising Israel ≠ antisemitism. Equating the two protects state violence, not Jewish lives. The far right thrives on this confusion.

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
Antisemitism is rising. Fact. So is Islamophobia. Both are fuelled by the far right, who pretend to defend Jews while pushing antisemitic conspiracy theories, and demonise Muslims to justify authoritarianism. Hate is the only winner.

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
Gaza is not a “conflict.” It is a genocide in real time. Entire neighbourhoods gone, children starved, hospitals bombed. If our outrage ends at the border, then what we defend is not justice — it’s impunity for power.

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
October 7th was horrific. Civilians murdered, families destroyed. But grief has been weaponised since. Israel’s government used it to justify the mass killing of Palestinians. One atrocity cannot excuse another. Selective grief isn’t solidarity. It’s hierarchy.

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
The Manchester synagogue attacks show us something brutal: antisemitism is alive, violent, and must be fought. But if we only confront hate when Jews are the target — and ignore Islamophobia or the genocide in Gaza — we’re not fighting hate. We’re managing it. #Manchester #Antisemitism #UKPolitics

Here’s the kicker: #AI won’t replace you. But the person who knows how to use it will. You can resent the tool, or you can master it. The choice is yours. The future doesn’t wait for permission. #Future #Tech #Innovation

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
So no—you don’t really hate #AI. You hate being challenged to grow, adapt, and rethink what makes you valuable. AI is a mirror. The problem isn’t the reflection—it’s your refusal to face it honestly. #Future #Tech #Innovation

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
Here’s the truth: #AI isn’t the villain. The villain is how people choose to wield it. Used ethically, it helps us create, learn, and heal. Used carelessly, it repeats old mistakes. The technology reflects us back at ourselves. #Future #Tech #Innovation

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
History repeats. Electricity was “too dangerous.” Trains were “unnatural.” The printing press was “heresy.” Now it’s #AI’s turn to be feared before it’s mastered. Progress always terrifies those unwilling to adapt. #Future #Tech #Innovation

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
It’s easier to scream “#AI is evil” than admit you don’t know how to integrate it into your work or art. Hatred is simpler than learning. But refusing to adapt doesn’t stop the future—it only ensures you’re left behind. #Future #Tech #Innovation

Emek @emekakman.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
Blaming #AI for layoffs, propaganda, or inequality is lazy. AI didn’t fire anyone—CEOs did. AI doesn’t spread lies—people do. The tech is neutral. Misuse comes from human choices, often disguised as “innovation.” #Future #Tech #Innovation
