Ten of my favourite Reuters 📸 of Portugal's Carnation Revolution celebrations. This one was taken in 1997.
Alarm bells are ringing about alFashir, here’s why: The city avoided the fate of other Darfur capitals after local leaders brokered a truce enforced by the Juba armed groups early in the war. Even then, 220 people were killed in the crossfire of limited skirmishes.
Well intentioned but ill advised. Pure Orientalism. Might have made sense had we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Turkish workers leaving to work in Germany. Very 70s gesture. Now it is the 60th anniversary. Doner is not it. Sorry.
Turkish-Germans discovered the 1st COVID vaccine in the world; some were movie directors who won awards on behalf of Germany, numerous writers, musicians, intellectuals from Turkey call Germany home. Of all these, the 🇩🇪 president chose the kebab maker to accompany him to 🇹🇷
Niche joke that only Swifties/Erdogan followers will get. Taylor Swift has a song called "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus" & all I can think is when Erdogan would say, "George, Hans, Helga ne der benim derdim bu değil. Ahmet, Hasan, Ayşe, Fatma, Allah ne der ben buna bakarım".
💥Khaled, an Egyptian-born Chicago Uber driver, tells me he has the solution for the entire Mideast problem. It's not a bad one, so I'm sharing here: "Just make the entire place Jerusalem. Call it all 'Jerusalem.' Everyone will be living in Jerusalem. All of it: Jerusalem. Done."
This photo by Ibraheem Abu Mustafa for Reuters is astonishing.
My most unhelpful take is that historically lots of incidents don’t start major wars but also some do, and we’re bad at predicting which is which, so freaking out over something that might will probably look silly but is also totally reasonable

In Athens, the flowering of bitter orange trees heralds spring. In Istanbul, it is the erguvan (Judas tree).
It is starting. China explaining very bluntly that Britain no longer exists.
China respectfully explains there is no great power rivalry with Britain, as Britain is no longer significant
The Byzantine army was the most multi-ethic force in the pre-modern world. Mongols, Turks, Africans (Zanj), Saxons, Norse, Rus, Normans, Huns, Alans, Cumans, Pechenegs, Germans, Italians, Georgians, Armenians, Iranians, Albanians, Catalans, and more. How did they manage it?
Yesterday’s election proves that there is no such thing as a “Turkey expert.” At best, those of us who follow the country will be perpetual students of Turkey.

Tucker Carlson: "Moscow has not been degraded by postmodern architecture that destroys your spirit" Chris Cuomo: "You believe postmodern architecture is designed to kill your spirit?!" Tucker: "Of course." Cuomo: "Why?" Tucker's answer will blow your mind. A rant for the ages:
