This ad appeared on my feed and now I agree with Plato and Descartes. This certainly doesn’t look like a good foundation for knowledge.

Wow I hadn’t noticed Plato and Augustine have Jesus right between them in time. It all makes sense now.

Plato’s proto-feminism is complicated (I think he’s using a statistical approach) but this gendered language correction in The Republic sounds very modern.

I feel extra happy when I add a philosopher I like: a first version of Graham Priest is here, with a unique feature in this project: a positive-negative self-connection (because “dialetheism is itself a dialetheia”). Logic is fun! www.denizcemonduygu.com/philo/browse...

Yesterday I gave an online seminar at Bilgi University Industrial Design Dept for the Current Issues and Practices class, with the invitation of dear Özlem Er who taught me a lot when I was in İTÜ. I had a great time, thanks to all who attended.

Nothing Else Matters is an inconsistent song. The 1st paragraph ends with “and nothing else matters” but the 2nd paragraph continues to list new things that matter. The same mistake is repeated with the 2nd-3rd paragraphs. Sloppy work.

I’ve always enjoyed Datawrapper’s Data Vis Dispatch. Great to see my latest project Weathersquare featured this week. The screenshot they shared reveals a big temperature and precipitation difference between 2000 and 2026 for Tromsø:

Seeing the feeds for the last few days I can’t help but think, people used to behave morally and refrain from making jokes about a person right after they die... Good thing Chuck Norris got bored one day and annihilated all moral values and facts.

Why does wind have precedence over other conditions on the Weather app? I don’t care about the wind, I just wanna know whether it’s gonna be sunny or not.

2025 was one of the worst years of my life for the most part, but moving to Bodrum and starting sertraline turned it on its head (see Mood). Feeling great now, and grateful for the support of my family, friends, & partner.
