This blog turned 10 today. I started blogging during Tumblr’s golden age. I was still mourning StumbleUpon back then and looking for something to fill the enormous void it left. It wasn’t the same, of course but it was still fun. Sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content. But, after a few years, I started to lose interest. The blog was getting a good number of daily visitors even though it didn’t have much original content. I think I could have turned this into a relatively successful blog and maybe even make some money off it.

By the time Tumblr ran out of steam, I was pretty much over it. I started spending too much time on Twitter. Twitter, like Tumblr, is one of those super-popular sites I resisted joining for a while but then captivated me. But Twitter is different. I use it for good old internet fun, sure but it’s also my primary news source. The last 10 years made “alternative” news sources a must in Turkey. I stopped watching TV and following Turkish news networks and newspapers after Gezi Park protests in 2013.

You know, when experiencing something like Gezi Park Protest, you can’t help but think, yeah, this is history happening right in front of my eyes. The thing is, history started to happen in terrifying ways in Turkey, constantly. One crisis after another. Currency collapse, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, you name it.

But then the 15 July 2016 coup d'état attempt happened and broke Turkey completely. It wasn’t like Turkey never experienced such things before. People died, sure, but it wasn’t a full-blown civil war. It was over in 24 hours. But it broke Turkey.  It broke Turkey in almost every way possible.

Last few years proved that we had a Humpty Dumpty situation in our hands. And of course, a pandemic had to happen to make things a lot worse. Of course.

The gears are turning. History is grinding down the unfortunate. Some will recover. Some will not. We shall see.

We shall see.

So much has changed in the last nine years, including Tumblr itself. But I’ll wait for the nice, even 10th anniversary and then write about those years. If we survive, that is. Well, this already sounds like an entry from The Talos Principle.

The Problem With The Big Bang Theory...

I’ve been meaning to post something about The Big Bang Theory for a while now but it’s taken me ‘till now to really understand what it is about the show that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not exactly a believer in the whole “only write about the things you like, don’t trash the things you don’t” trend which seems to be plaguing comments sections in negative articles lately, but I wanted to be able to really examine why I don’t like TBBT rather than just slagging it off. My main questions being - Why don’t I like this anymore? Why do I feel uncomfortable watching it? And why do I get so annoyed when I see people sing its praises online? The thing which really sparked this post was seeing a raft of comments on Facebook, below the last round of voting in Television Without Pity’s Tubey Awards, claiming The Big Bang Theory to be “the best comedy on TV”. This made me angry so instead of posting an impulsive comment calling out their bad taste which I’d probably regret later, I decided to really analyse why seeing comments like that made me so mad when previously, although I didn’t really love the show, I’d never considered myself as disliking The Big Bang Theory.

Hell, I even have season one on dvd, it’s sitting right between Battlestar Galactica and Bored To Death in my alphabetised collection.

And here, I think, is where my problem with The Big Bang Theory lies…
