Turkey facing worst drought in over 50 years #Turkey

Turkey facing worst drought in over 50 years
Turkey is experiencing its worst drought in over half a century, with rainfall dropping by 27% compared to the last three decades and even more in some regions, according to data published this week.

Bilal Karakus, 36, is a native of Sanliurfa, Turkey,
and has lived in Japan since 2015.
He manages his own food truck,
Bilo Kebab, and serves kebabs usually around Musashi-Kosugi and Okurayama stations in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, as well as at festivals and events.

I went cold-turkey with caffeine 10 days ago.
After a few days of severe headaches and generally not feeling great - I started actually to sleep better, and thanks to that - I have more energy during the days, generally in a better mood, and I am finally feeling inspired to do fun stuff again.
Just finished my next meshtastic solar node, and currently fixing up my homelab that has been neglected for 7 month or so.

Turkey seizes control of critical broadcaster TELE1, arrests chief editor  - Committee to Protect Journalists
Istanbul, October 27, 2025—Turkish authorities should release TELE1 chief editor Merdan Yanardağ and withdraw the order to assign a trustee to seize control of the outlet, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Monday. Istanbul police detained Yanardağ on October 24, and on October 27, a court arrested him pending trial as part of a political “espionage” investigation in which the imprisoned Istanbul mayor Ekrem...

Climate change made deadly wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus more fierce, study finds #Turkey

Climate change made deadly wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus more fierce, study finds
Climate change that has driven scorching temperatures and dwindling rainfall made massive wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus this summer burn much more fiercely, said a new study released Thursday.

I did a 21 mile bike ride today. Along the way I saw a turkey, found a good pair of scissors, discovered Hidden Lake, and stopped to see Mama Rosa at Firefly Grove Park in Wauwatosa.

If true, this might be peak turkey attractiveness. His snood entirely covers his beak.

- along Bow Brook until it joins the Turkey River
- up to the Heights and around the Concord Municipal Airport
- along that new trail going in on the other side of the river
- to Granite State Candies and back

Dust scattering halo of 4U 1630-47: High resolution X-ray and mm observations constrain source and molecular cloud distances
We re-investigated the distance to the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 by analyzing its dust scattering halo (DSH) using high-resolution X-ray (Chandra) and millimeter (APEX) observations. Dust scattering halos form when X-rays from a compact source are scattered by interstellar dust, creating diffuse ring-like structures that can provide clues about the source's distance. Our previous work suggested two possible distances: 4.9 kpc and 11.5 kpc, but uncertainties remained due to low-resoluti…

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

A Novel Short-Term Anomaly Prediction for IIoT with Software Defined Twin Network
Secure monitoring and dynamic control in an IIoT environment are major requirements for current development goals. We believe that dynamic, secure monitoring of the IIoT environment can be achieved through integration with the Software-Defined Network (SDN) and Digital Twin (DT) paradigms. The current literature lacks implementation details for SDN-based DT and time-aware intelligent model training for short-term anomaly detection against IIoT threats. Therefore, we have proposed a novel framew…

Labour unions under neoliberal authoritarianism in the Global South: the cases of Turkey and Egypt
This article analyses the trajectories of organised labour in times of neoliberalism in Turkey and Egypt and their current condition under securitised neoliberal-developmentalist regimes post-2013. Neoliberal experience in these countries was marked by continuing authoritarianism, challenging the view that economic liberalisation would lead to political democratisation. One of the most important areas of neoliberal restructuring has been labour markets. In order to achieve this, struggles over …

On 29 March 2006, a total solar eclipse was observed in the Manavgat district of Antalya, Turkey. During the event, the solar corona was observed using an 8-inch mirrored telescope. White-light polarization observations were carried out at three distinct angles using a polarizing filter placed in front of the camera system. To calibrate the intensity of the roll film, photographs of the eclipse and the solar disk were taken with a traditional 35mm manual camera. Using the solar disk images obta…

Good Morning #Canada
Happy National Homemade Bread Day for all those with enough dough to celebrate. There's no data on how many of us make their own bread at home, but there are 1,321 bakery product manufacturing establishments and more than 1,406 retail bakeries in Canada. Canada annually ranks in the top 10 worldwide in wheat production, 6th or 7th, depending on the year, but we don't eat a lot of bread. #StatsCan says we consume approximately 30 kg per person yearly, which doesn't put us in the top 30 internationally - Turkey's citizens eat 6 times as much as us. We spend about 10% of our grocery bill on baked goods, and that has increased almost 30% over the past 5 years. Canada exports $5.2B in baked goods annually with $5B of that going to the U.S. market.
