Your earlier post which indicates that “Somaliland had also expressed a willingness for…[the proposed relocation plan]…” piqued my curiosity. However, after reviewing the video in addition to the Türkiye Today article - neither of them appear to address that specifically.

Thank you for the link. This is a well produced / balanced introduction to the matter of recognition, with some historical context and assessment of the current state of regional Geopolitics. It raises some good questions about a topic that I find very interesting.

I may have missed it, but the Türkiye Today article seems to indicate the following: “The efforts were unsuccessful” & “strongly rejected by…many countries around the world” Could not find any mention that confirms the above claim about “willingness” as it relates to Somaliland.

Interesting question, especially when examined within the broader geopolitical/geo-economic context of the Horn of Africa & Red Sea. What agency does, what you so aptly describe as, a politically/economically isolated entity have in rebuffing the advances of covetous/unchecked political interests?

Looks, to me, like an elderly gentleman who becomes increasingly startled/bewildered. One can only hope that he is alright after taking such a tumble.

At one point I found myself wondering, “Does this sort of thing not evoke Île du Diable & the Dreyfus Affair?”

Perhaps this will mitigate the potential for a Kessler effect scenario… but I shudder to think of where the increasing amounts of debree might end up after reentry.

This reminds me of how much of a reprieve one might find in the beauty of the Valley - botanic gardens, performing arts, museums, outdoor activities - and the vibrant social/cultural scene that scholars from all over the world contribute to. Many fond memories…

It seems the tide of public opinion on this issue has turned, since the introduction of their 2018 open-door policy. This raises 2 questions: Why include bathrooms in the new code of conduct? Why does the US have only “eight public restrooms per 100,000 people?” www.nytimes.com/2023/03/22/b...

“Dear goddess! Face-up again against the renewal of vows. Do not let me die a coward, mother. Nor forget how to sing. Nor forget song is a part of mourning as light is a part of sun.” - Audre Lorde (American Writer, Poet, Professor, Philosopher, Activist)

Poem by Audre Lorde titled Today is Not the Day from “The Marvelous Arithmetics of Distance 1987-1992” collection.

I can't just sit here
staring death in her face
blinking and asking for a new name
By which to greet her
I am not afraid to say
unembellished
I am dying
but i do not want to do it
looking the other way
Today is not the day.
It could be
But it is not.
Today is today...
I dare not tremble for them
Only pray laughter comes often enough To soften the edge.

e.g., 2018 DSC document, reported by SK media, as having been drafted to revoke National Assembly powers. It is alleged to have sorted lawmakers into Liberals/Conservatives in preparation of Martial Law - should impeachment proceedings against former President Park fail, leading to widespread unrest

Professor Jang, thank you for sharing this insightful summary. What impact, if any, do you think antecedents to this declaration of Martial Law may have on the current President’s ability to use the military to curb the powers of lawmakers?

I suspect that this may have something to do with Japan having a more collectivist society. Had this occurred in the more individualistic Western societies, the headline might very well have been to do with that of an executive’s pay rise, despite such happenings.

I think this one may have to do with child-resistant packaging requirements for coin/button cell battery packages due to ingestion hazard. Please refer to Reese’s Law for more information.

Wish I had the expertise to try to better understand how a general consensus amongst medical professionals like that of the mysterious brain illness case goes unchallenged for so long. Is it due to lack of clinical curiosity, confirmation/anchoring bias, overreliance on heuristics…?

Sadly, this reminds me of post-arthroplasty patients who were misdiagnosed with dementia prior to the discovery that metallosis from chrome-cobalt components were the common denominator, leading to the onset of “Arthroplastic Cobalt Encephalopathy.” Imagine all of those who went without revision.

You cannot image how heartwarming it is to hear someone sincerely verbalize their belief in the intrinsic value of human life and dignity these days. Have just made the leap into the big BlueSky myself, and thus far, really appreciate the constructive discourse/positive environment. Welcome!

Was the inclusion of the words “women election workers” extraneous ornamentation or designed to appeal to those who would think they’re denigrating, all the while adding insult to his perceived injury?

Answer from a never loquacious person: The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk & The Guest by Albert Camus (nestled within Exile and the Kingdom) - the latter of which led me to revisit the Battle of Algiers film and on a brief foray into the pernicious effects of Haiti’s “Reparations/Independence Debt.”
