Turkey’s authoritarian president Erdoğan’s neo-colonialism in Africa seems to be paying off, in London I more and more come across younger people - with African roots -who feel inspired, see a role model in him, the older (+50) generation bring up Atatürk, the founding father of the modern republic.

Happy Gävlebocken season! Every year since 1966, Gävle, Sweden, has erected a massive version of Scandinavia's traditional straw Yule goat. It is so attractive to vandals—particularly arsonists—that in the previous 58 years, only 18 goats have survived fully intact. Good luck in 2024, Gävlebocken!

I’m willing to be convinced Bluesky might be(come) the new home of breaking news — I’ve already pinned a few news feeds - what else should I do to follow news realtime here? 👀

Hey everyone, I could really use 1 day / week of tech contracting to fund my aid work right now. We're kinda at a pivotal moment, but donations are still catching up.

I'm good at:

- web dev
- domain modeling
- project management
- IRL ops
- networking
- startups

Techies plz share <3

re: post Turkey presidential elections: Will another 5 years or less (who knows?) be finally a true wake-up call for the opposition or new movements to come up with new strategies and fresh candidates uniting and appealing to bigger layers of society? The differences are smaller than they look.
