  Suleiman the Magnificent died in 1566! what are we doing here turkey?? …a prison sentence of up to three years on charges of "inciting the public into hatred and hostility." The accusation concerns the joke "even Sultan Suleiman married his fuck buddy," referring to the sultan's relationship with Hürrem Sultan. https://bianet.org/haber/comedian-faces-three-year-prison-sentence-over-sultan-suleiman-joke-319503

  The Greek alphabet really fucked this up by not having a J and using their B for V and needing to make a D sound with NT as they use their D for TH when they already have a TH letter.

  book review: Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon ⭐️⭐️⭐️. A towering work of sci-fi. Written in 1930, it charts humanity from the inter-war period up to 5,000,000,000,000AD. Arthur C. Clarke: "No other book had a greater influence on my life" https://felix.gripe/blog/last-and-first-men-by-olaf-stapledon/ #book #bookstodon #scifi

  quick thoughts on - the "wordpress-successor" #emdash released yesterday by cloudflare ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/emdash-wordpress/ ): • As a wordpress/astro designer/dev this is of great interest • Looks like loads of proprietary cloudflare (US big-tech company 🙄) requirements
• Although it does say node.js and sqlite support (great!) • Interesting x402.org integration (finally micropayments!) • The backend feels great and snappy, and I'd love to build my wp themes...

  book review: The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford ⭐️⭐️. The second sad-ass book of the week, this time due to poor moral behaviour – adultery and death and almost nothing good happening for anyone apart from the death. https://felix.gripe/blog/the-good-soldier-by-ford-madox-ford/ #book #review #bookstodon #cucks
