I'm not going to change my nick until next Xmas.

Seinfeld is a slice-of-life anime.

What's the recommended way to dispose of used razor blades and syringe needles?
Dumping them into the dustbin is obviously a bad idea as they can tear the nylon bag apart, not to mention cause harm binmen, skip divers and poor rubbish gatherers.

So far I've been collecting them in an empty beer can.

Today is the day of absinthe on the French Revolutionary Calendar. To celebrate it, I'm going to open the flask of absinthe I've been keeping at the back of my stash.

As Mark Fisher put it: "[...] the normalisation of crisis produces a situation in which the repealing of measures brought in to deal with an emergency becomes unimaginable. (When will the war be over?)"

It's hard to imagine a progressive society and a free government at this point. We forgot what we are fearing so much that we gave up everything we have to defend against it. There's been a "threat" out there for so long that we no longer care what it actually is, if it still exists.

They promised to lift the state of emergency (which they instated themselves and renewed thrice) if they got re-elected. Now, I see cops patrolling wherever I look. Some squads carry SMGs and wear bulletproof vests.

Well, that goes to show you what a moon can do.

The introduction of Lisp is closer to 1899 than to present day.

Why worry about FFI and ABIs when you can reinvent the wheel less efficiently?

The West hailed AKP as a moderate Islamic government to bring peace into ME only because it's neoliberal. AKP was meant to replace the social democratic and progressive DSP government. There you go, all national industries (except for unprofitable TCDD) are sold off to foreign corporations. Enjoy your market.

Clinton gov't actively supported and funded Gülen-AKP alliance in late '90s (when Erdoğan was the Mayor of Istanbul) and made use of Ecevit government's financial crisis to surf them up into power. Why's nobody talking about this today?

Yes, it's a US tradition to instate groups that turn to bite it back. But now what? Are we waiting for Erdoğan to get the Qaddafi treatment?

It's funny how the Western governments and media were loudly supportive of Erdoğan until about 2010, claiming his opponents who called him a dictator are exaggerating, or even Islamophobic. It wasn't until he stopped cooperating with Israel and bared his fangs against European countries for brinksmanship did he become the Islamic boogeyman.

Then again, the same kind of people also supported Khmer Rogue even after their atrocities became known. US even embargoed Vietnam for deposing them.

They just don't turn it off and walk away. Why?

Also holy shit I get so irrationally angry when people leave (potable freshwater) taps running. Like, it happens very rarely but I get furious when it happens.

The future is foggy.

People all around are so tense, high-strung and upset. You can probably guess why. I feel like they're about to go off any moment, like a keg of gunpowder for any little reason.
