They say it's because about security problems and violation of moral values.(WHAT?) They stated that TikTok contains content that harms social values and "many users are disturbed by this situation.🥺"

TURGLOCKEN - Does this $250 Turkish Glock Clone work!?

[hexgirllovesyou]

UPDATE: It's been 5 days and Instagram hasn't opened yet

I hate the fact that the current Turkish government has this fucked-up attitude toward everything that includes fun and joy; I mean, we live in a country where each day our currency's value melts down, and yet the decision-makers try to steal our costless joy and apps that keep us entertained.

I don't even mention the damages this ban has caused so far for small and medium-size enterprises and businesses.

I hope this terrible violation of the right to freedom of expression comes to an end soon.

I'd appreciate it if you could reblog the post 🙏🏻

They have banned Instagram in Türkiye like WTF!

the strauss-howe theory dictates history moves in a rough 80 year cycles — high, awakening, unraveling, crisis.

80 years ago was the crisis and wwii killed 75-85 million. roughly 3% of the worlds population at the time.

90 years ago the nazis won polls in germany with 43.9% of votes, putting an end to the weimar republic and initiating the crisis.

i am afraid. i live halfway across the world and i am afraid, not because australia is nothing more than a proxy state of the us, but because fascism doesn't keep itself in the neat little borders we've drawn up to divide country.

it is a disease and it spreads.

germany, italy, japan, brazil, china, portugal, romania, spain, slovakia, south africa, and other puppet states during the mid-20th century.

usa, russia, israel, afghanistan, china, türkiye, saudi arabia, iran, north korea, italy, finland, slovakia, hungary, croatia, and more now.

just last month, the liberal party (right wing) turned queensland from labour (centre-leftish) through imitation of trump and election promises to ban abortion. monkey see monkey do.

so thank you so much the trump voters, the 3rd party voters, the non-voters, the spoiled ballot voters. i hope you look on this world with pride knowing youve lit another cord to the ticking bomb.

Occasionally i look through your blog to see your gorgeous art and see a random app banned in your country. And everytime i say to myself huh what a weird coincidence that's banned here too. And remember we both live in Türkiye.

Others cannot understand us 🥂

jsyk, the difference between these two symbols are like if someone mimed blowing someone vs someone doing the heil salute (or more accurately, used the swastika as a symbol of peace because “it’s a buddhist symbol of peace” yeah okay man)

bellingham is a 20 year old who told the opposing team to suck his dick. demiral is a 26 year old who used a far right nationalist symbol that is banned in austria, against an austrian national team. they are very much not the same.

(and to those saying that it’s just a symbol of turkish pride—from what i get from it, it is very much not so. it is similar to saying that the confederate flag is a symbol of pride in the american south. even if the grey wolf is a symbol of turkey, it’s been co-opted, much like the swastika was from asian culture.)

both jude bellingham and merih demiral have received punishments, with bellingham receiving a €30,000 fine and a one match suspension which can be served within a year (meaning he can play vs switzerland later this week). merih demiral has received a two match ban from uefa matches, meaning he will miss the quarter- and semi-finals if türkiye are to progress.

Roblox got banned in Türkiye.....WHYY?????

And Instagram is still banned . The reason is stupid too. What are they trying to do😢😫

[safije]

whats your take on PRC ? the surveillance is mad there + the uyghur situation

The Uyghur situation is a lot more complicated than westerners think.

I'll give you a bit of a backstory starting 10 years ago, Uyghur seperatism was on the rise and some Uyghurs were joining ISIS or Syrian Rebel groups and committing terrorist attacks in China.

The Communist Party has always had restrictions on religion but because of this, they reacted with even harsher anti-Islam policies and propaganda. I have a friend living in China who told me her friend in Xinjiang hasn't been allowed to fast for Ramadan in 6 years. As a result, many religious Uyghur families moved abroad mainly to Türkiye and Kazakhstan. According to my friend in İstanbul, the Uyghur family she knows hasn't been able to get contact with a relative still in Xinjiang.

However I will say I disagree with people saying that this is a race war and that China just wants everyone in their country to be culturally Han. There are still millions of Uyghurs living in Xinjiang and most of them are not in concentration camps, most of them are fluent in their language and are not banned from speaking or writing in it. Contrary to popular belief, the PRC does give some autonomy to ethnic minorities. They even have government ID cards written in their own language.

If anyone here is Uyghur and wants to add their two cents, my inbox is open (for now)!

İnşa Allah I pray things get better for you all soon. 🤲🏻

"Why isn't Israel banned from the Olympics? They banned Russia!"

Yeah, why isn't Israel banned? Why isn't Palestine also banned for Hamas' attack against a neighboring country? Why isn't Sudan banned for its human rights abuses? Why isn't China banned for its occupation of Tibet, or its genocide of the Uyghurs? Why isn't North Korea banned for everything it fucking does? Why isn't Azerbaijan banned for its genocide of the Armenians? Why isn't Australia banned for its attitudes towards the aboriginal people? Why isn't Georgia banned for its treatment of gay people? Why isn't Türkiye banned for its treatment of the Kurds?

And if they had banned Israel as a nation, but they do what they did with the Russian and Belarusian athletes, which is to allow them to compete under the unaffiliated Olympic flag, would that have been good enough? Or would you have still been screaming about Israelis being present at all? Is there any level of participation that is acceptable?

This isn't an argument for any country being banned or not banned. It's not an argument for or against any of these countries being banned, or a justification for any government choices. I have no dog in that race, I'm just here to watch humans doing fucking incredible stuff with their bodies (a ban on doping is the only ban I wholeheartedly agree with. If you can't do it on your own don't do it at all. Miss me with that shit).

What I am asking you to check is your biases. Why are you so angry about Israel specifically and nothing else. What about this conflict has made you so seething with rage that you would call for the destruction of an entire group of people. Why is it so important to you that Israel be punished when other countries don't even cross your mind. Who benefits from you being this blind with rage over this.

Continue to advocate for those who need it. Stand up for Palestinians, stand up for the Uyghurs in China, stand up for the Kurds, stand up for the Ukrainians, stand up for the Jews, stand up for the Sudanese, stand up for all those being hurt by people in power.

And always check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Love each other.

Eurovision 2005 - Number 64 - Katie Price - "Not Just Anybody"

Back to the music and... wait! What's this?! Katie Price at number 64?! Have I gone mad?

Well possibly. For those who aren't in the UK, Katie Price is best known as a glamour model and TV personality. She features in tabloid gossip columns on a regular basis and has lived a life bounding from one extreme incident to another including driving bans, being sexually abused by a number of different men, she's been carjacked, gone bankrupt, been treated for cancer, and been placed under a restraining order. She's been keeping gossip columnists in work for decades.

What she isn't, even in her own words, is a singer. Regarding a later single release she is quoted as saying

I'm not a singer, this is just something that I'm doing for fun. It's not like I'm worried about getting a chart position or number one, this is purely for fun. Whether people like it or not, I'm doing it.

That brings us to Making Your Mind Up 2005 and Not Just Anybody. In 2005 the BBC was in a fairly desperate position. 2003 had been a disaster, and while the UK had scored points in 2004, they hadn't scored nearly as many as they had expected to. Nobody serious in the UKs very successful music industry wanted anything to do with Eurovision. There was also the growing belief in the news media and among the general population that Europe had a grudge against the UK. Who on Earth would enter a competition under these circumstances? Why not Katie Price?

Behind the scenes, there were some people prepared to participate in this stunt. Not Just Anybody was written by some relatively big names. There's Deni Lew who had written for Katie's boyfriend and soon to be husband Peter Andre, who had actually had three UK number one singles. There's Nicky Martin, who'd been song-writing in the UK music industry for decades. There's also Pete Glenister who has worked with a whole host of names including Alison Moyet, Kirsty MacColl and Johnny Marr.

Following the prevailing trend of ethno-girl bops after both Türkiye and Ukraine's wins, it's got the Turkish swirling strings, and uses some interesting chord sequences. It swirls and sways matching the lyrics which are all about seduction. It's a heady mix of intoxicating synths and a vocal line that traces a curving pathway above the excitable, uncontrollably besotted instrumental.

And it's sung almost entirely flat. Very flat.

Katie is definitely not a singer. The choreography is weird and clunky, and she's not seductive - even if she thinks she is. The mismatch between her ability as a singer and actress, and the qualities of the team behind the songs are are startling. Then there's the pink catsuit. The entire thing has repeat of 2003 written all over it. It's a car crash.

It came second. It even won the Internet portion of the voting. Luckily for the UK and the BBC, both the SMS vote and the televote had it firmly behind the winner in second place, but still second place! This more than anything sums up the UK public's attitude to Eurovision in 2005. The fact that the BBC didn't use any jury for this competition is itself an indication that the light entertainment department responsible for this show were either just giving up themselves, and had opted to roll with it, or that they had badly misjudged what the public would vote for.

The thing is that, awful as this performance is, I got the song itself stuck in my head for days. It's one of the single most earworm infested tunes of the year and in other hands, this could have been a banger. It's good song-writing clearly taking aim squarely for the Eurovision-meta circa 2005. Not a winner, no, but not embarrassing either. It's so catchy that it managed to battle it's way through the bracket to this level - despite the singing.

Or maybe even because of the singing? There's something intoxicating (maybe even intoxicated) about the quality of Katie's singing that fits exactly with the theme of the song. Ignoring the visual and listening to the song, there's also a sense of desperation to Katie's voice. Pleading almost. It sounds sad. From a place of genuine despair. It's completely undercut by the visuals and by the actual plea for votes at the end, but I can't ignore that this is someone begging to be loved by whoever the song is about, but most of all by the public. It's not intended, but the whole thing resembles an auditory bruise spreading from a point of impact in Katie's past.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it - but this song is one of those that deserves thorough analysis from a UK Eurovision history perspective at least.

After this adventure, Katie Price did try to release a couple of other singles, but her career has continued largely at a break-neck place of tragedy, controversy, and scandal. She hasn't tried to enter Eurovision again.

Arquitecto japonés construye casa ecológica para sobrevivientes del terremoto turco

La instalación de la "casa de bobinas de papel", diseñada por el galardonado arquitecto japonés Shigeru Ban utilizando materiales reciclados y respetuosos con el medio ambiente, ha comenzado en la provincia de Hatay, en Türkiye, afectada por el terremoto, según informes del jueves.

El arquitecto, que llegó a Türkiye para supervisar personalmente la implementación de su diseño en el "Estudio de emergencia" de la Universidad Técnica de Oriente Medio (METU), habló con la Agencia Anadolu (AA) y señaló que utilizando materiales como papel y tableros de partículas ya había diseñado estructuras. para áreas de evacuación de emergencia en Japón, Italia y Türkiye.

Recordando el poderoso terremoto que sacudió la región de Mármara en agosto de 1999, Ban señaló que "Shigeru Ban Architects" y la "Red de Arquitectos Voluntarios (Volunteer Architects)" habían diseñado alrededor de 70 estructuras temporales para la zona afectada por el terremoto.

Ban, quien decidió ponerse en contacto con los estudiantes de METU del Departamento de Arquitectura luego de los recientes terremotos centrados en Kahramanmaraş, dijo que los estudiantes de Japón también expresaron interés en "hacer algo" después del desastre, por lo que se embarcaron en el proyecto.

"La estructura que diseñamos para la zona afectada por el terremoto es un proyecto completamente nuevo", explicó Ban. Al señalar que principalmente los proyectos fueron diseñados para servir como refugios temporales, Ban dijo que la casa puede servir como alojamiento permanente siempre que la gente lo necesite.

"Los diseños del edificio comienzan conmigo. Luego hice un prototipo del diseño con mis alumnos en Japón", dijo.

Dijo que como los mismos materiales utilizados en Japón no estaban disponibles en Türkiye, se mantuvieron en contacto con los estudiantes de METU durante el período de construcción para averiguar qué tipo de materiales locales podrían usarse para entregar su diseño.

Agregando que le gustaba la casa de bobinas de papel construida en METU, Ban dijo: "Es muy fuerte, está muy bien hecha y tiene una estructura muy hermosa".

Al subrayar las ventajas de la casa en términos de ser amigable con el medio ambiente, Ban dijo que el material del núcleo de papel, que se usa principalmente como columna y consiste en papeles reciclados, tiene una ventaja económica al mismo tiempo.

"El hecho de que la casa de la bobina de papel sea funcional, económica y hermosa la distingue de las demás", dijo Ban, subrayando también la facilidad de instalación. Además, el arquitecto también señaló que la entrega y el traslado de la estructura a la zona afectada por el terremoto sería un proceso fluido.

El hecho de que la estructura se construyera en la universidad brinda a los estudiantes la oportunidad de obtener la experiencia necesaria que no pueden tener en ningún otro lugar, según Ban.

Tuğba Özer, profesor de la Facultad de Arquitectura de METU, afirmó que después del prototipo, se planea producir alrededor de 20 casas de bobinas de papel más.

Elementos japoneses

Un asistente de investigación de la misma facultad, Ömer Faruk Ağırsoy, explicó los detalles específicos de la arquitectura japonesa que se incluyeron en las complejidades adjuntas del edificio, a saber, la unión de las columnas con las paredes y el piso. "Estos elementos de conexión se cortaron con máquinas CNC. También hay detalles de unión especiales en el techo", agregó.

Ağırsoy mencionó que la construcción del edificio, incluidas las áreas exteriores y las paredes hechas de tableros de partículas, se ha aislado para regular la temperatura. Como resultado, el edificio puede ofrecer un entorno adecuado para los ocupantes tanto en verano como en invierno.

Recordando la experiencia japonesa en el campo, Ağırsoy afirmó que la casa fue diseñada sin base, se sometió a varias pruebas y se comprobó que la estructura es capaz de "absorber fuerzas laterales en caso de terremoto".

Una de las estudiantes, Selen Ilhan, describió el proceso de construcción como interesante e inspirador y agregó: "Prevemos que la casa que diseñamos se puede usar durante dos o tres años sin ningún problema".
