Turkish President Erdogan: The Turkish Army has never destroyed any place it entered throughout history; on the contrary, it has restored places that had been devastated. Even under the harshest conditions, our army has never harmed any person, living being, tree, or city other than enemy elements; instead, it has rebuilt and revived places that had been destroyed.

Mine was catching a newborn baby with my bare hands. During my House Job, we were having one of those chaotic O&G calls where everybody was occupied with emergencies. In the middle of the chaos, this woman was already pushing almost unnoticed. Suddenly, the baby’s head was out. And there was nobody there to deliver him. Before anyone could react, the baby slipped out completely and was about to fall straight onto the concrete floor. And if that happens, he'd even pull the placenta along and only God knows what will happen. From afar, I saw it and ran. No gloves, no time to think, just pure reflex. I caught the baby seconds before disaster. Honestly, it was something I dreaded so much. Blood, liquor and everything possible touched me. I spent the entire day washing my hands reflexively while my colleagues kept laughing at me 😩 But if I could go back to that exact moment again, I’ll still do it again. Saving that baby was totally worth it.

What’s the worst exposure you’ve ever had on duty? Mine: A very sick child vomited on me while I was checking her blood pressure. It went straight into my mouth 😭 I was salivating for hours after that. What’s yours?

Look at the road in his senatorial district after 8yrs as governor. He’s contesting for senator in the same area and people are out there hailing and praising him while they line up to vote for him again. What an irony.

Michael Jackson is probably the last superstar we’ll ever have. Not because nobody else is talented. The world that made him is gone, and the kind of person he was doesn’t really happen anymore. And Taylor Swift doesn’t come close. Just calling it now. He came up in the last real monoculture. When something hit, it hit everybody on the same night. 47 million Americans watched the moonwalk at Motown 25 and the next morning every kid in the country was trying it on their kitchen floor. That’s not happening again. Taylor Swift sells out stadiums and there are still millions of people who couldn’t pick her song out of a lineup. Everybody now has a lane. MJ never had one. He was loved everywhere at the same time, because there was nowhere else for the culture to go. He shot the Beat It video with actual Crips and Bloods on set, from rival sets in LA, in the same room with him. Nobody else was doing that. Nobody else COULD. He was lonely and weird and broken, and he poured all of it into the music. There’s a reason you can still feel something in Billie Jean and She’s Out of My Life forty years later. That’s a person bleeding into a microphone. Not a brand. The biggest stars now are LLCs. They’re products. Taylor Swift is about breakups within a target demo. Songs are two minutes long because that’s what TikTok pays for. There’s no soul. MJ was a ridiculously talented person who actually moved people. Produced, wrote, danced, made short films it’s pretty insane. Anyways just saw the movie and was reminiscing. It’s like Hollywood. The era of superstars is waning. Don’t think we get another like him.

Aragorn was 87 years old and Arwen was 2778 years old during the events of The Lord of the Rings. When Aragorn died at the age of 210, Arwen could not bear his loss and died of grief at the age of 2901, 123 years after she had renounced her Elvish immortality to be with him. There is no greater love story in film or literature than this one.
