Turkish president Recep Erdogan has ordered that at least 131 media outlets suspected of inciting or sympathising with this month’s failed military coup be permanently shut down. [x] [x]
That includes three news agencies, 16 TV channels, 23 radio stations, 45 daily newspapers, 15 magazines, and 29 publishing houses.
Erdogan’s post-coup purges have targeted at least 55,000 people, including soldiers, police, civil servants, and academics, suspected of inciting or sympathising with the military uprising. At least 16,000 have been detained so far.
Journalists (a long time favourite target of Erdogan’s) have also been hastily targeted in the post-coup crackdown. As of Thursday, 42 journalists have been detained, according to Turkish analyst and journalist Mahir Zeynalov (89 warrants have presently been issued).
Zeynalov has been sharing photos on Twitter of the journalists as they are hauled away by Turkish police. [Part 1 of 3]
“I saw a dead mail carrier as a random event. Raiders had killed him, and after I dealt with them I check the mail carrier. He was carrying a “pen pal” letter and in it the person who was writing the letter explained how the letters were the only thing keeping him going, he was living in a shack, and the only good thing he had got rip away from him. And that’s why I have no sympathy for blowing raiders brains out.”
“I want a fallout game to take place in a state full of religious people, I don’t mean like “Children of the Atom” I want some crazy pre war religion in there just to see how much they have evolved the religion (with the same rules) to adapt with the wasteland.”
So I haven’t played New Vegas, so I could be wrong, but weren’t there Mormons in that game?

My buddy read an article about octopus intelligence. It was feeding time, and the handler dumped some shrimp into an octopus’ tank. Then he went into another room and sat at his desk.
A while later, a shrimp was tossed onto his desk.
The octopus, upon finding one bad shrimp in the lot, had grabbed it, escaped its tank, crossed the hall, and threw the expired shrimp at its caretaker. Not only does this showcase their problem-solving capabilities, but also that it could have escaped at any time. It just broke out this time to chuck an off shrimp in indignation at its handler. That’s not just intelligence, that’s a human-like reaction. Kinda make you wonder exactly how smart these guys can be…
OH MY GOD
I went to the aquarium once and we had a tour and we walked past the octopus tank and it was duct taped shut so I asked why and the guy was like. “Well, we had a problem before because these fish were disappearing randomly at night and we had no idea why. Turns out the octopus had memorised the night guards rounds and would creep out of its tank, crawl across the floor to the fish tank, have a little snack and be back in its own tank with the lid shut before the guard came back.” they are super smart
