After over a year, saying goodbye to my profile pic. I will always cherish the little bird (and what it represented)

I'm bringing ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS to the home of the Chicago Boys.
📚 On 21 October, join Tim Barker and me to discuss how we win affordability for all by leaving Friedmanite neoliberalism behind.
See you there! Link below.

„Antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik trifft offenbar einen Nerv“, heißt es in der taz zum Launch meines Buchs. Das habe ich auch in Frankfurt, Wien und Zürich gespürt. Demokraten brauchen einen Gegenentwurf zum unerträglichen Status quo. Wir dürfen die Alternative nicht länger den extremen Rechten überlassen.

*Uprooting trees to uproot the people*
Weeks before the olive harvest, Israel orders uprooting Palestinian olive trees across the occupied West Bank. Thousands have already been destroyed since October 2023.
Environment destruction is part of the accelerated ethnic cleansing.

America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire.
Watch Eunice Wong's reading of my column, "America's Suicide Pact", now:

Human rights activist Osman Kavala, former pro-Kurdish party co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş, İstanbul mayor and opposition presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu, MP Can Atalay, and many others have been unjustly jailed. They grow older behind bars, their children grow up without them, their partners grow old alone. Yet, the world speaks of them less and less. What a staggering injustice.@hdpdemirtas @ekrem_imamoglu @CanAtalay1

Love this! 100% agree on need for Turkish "kolay gelsin" in English, and even got 2 colleagues to start saying it at a previous job :)
In today's @MonocleMag newsletter I make the case for absorbing 'kolay gelsin', the most useful of Turkish phrases, into English.
Happy Monday, and kolay gelsin!

Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks.
Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else.
This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.

"Joe Sacco and Chris Hedges are creating a new graphics memoir, Requiem For Gaza, published from Fantagraphics in October 2026."

In economics, we cannot say that the marginal utility of providing milk to kids is more than that of a rich person enjoying an extra bid of caviar. Isn't this sociopathic? This lack of morality is designed to prevent redistribution.

📌Ermeni toplumunda yoksulluk
📌82 yaşındaki Kasapyan: Ben sokakta mı kalacağım?
✒️ Lusyen Kopar
▪️Ermeni toplumunda girerek artan yoksulluk, artık kira ödeyemediği için evden çıkarılma noktasına kadar geldi. Bakırköy'de oturan 82 yaşındaki Arşaluys Rita Kasapyan, yedi aydır kirasını ödeyemediği için oturduğu evden ayrılmak zorunda ancak gidecek yeri de yok. Kasapyan, "Cemaatimin her vakfına sesleniyorum! Bana uygun bir eviniz varsa lütfen yardım edin!" diyor.

Bu fotoğrafı yıllardır görüyoruz. Bu bina hala yerinde mi? Bunu korumak için herhangi bir mercinin girişimi var mı?

"Bir de korkmadan resmi tarih okuması dışındaki şeyleri de okuyun. Gerçeklerin böyle olması, Türklerin bir devlete sahip olmasını küçültmez."
Bu arada Yunan Ordusu denize dökülmedi. Onlar İzmir limanında bekleyen gemilere binip gittiler. Denize dökülenler İzmir, Aydın, Manisa, Balıkesir gibi yerlerde bin yıllardır yaşayıp, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu vatandaşı olan, Anadolulu ve savaşın korkusu ile İzmir Kemeraltına sığınan insanlardı. Onlar öldürüldü, denize atıldı. Haddinizi bir bilin.
Arastırmacı olmayanların kitapları eline alıp bakması, incelemesi mümkün mü? (Kütüphaneyi gezmek dışında)
