We discover a large “accent premium”: those with high-class accents are more likely to be seen as trustworthy, employable, and worth choosing as friends, coworkers, business partners, or bosses. We also show why this premium emerges. Spoiler: it is not only income or education.

@TopMontagnard Atatürk named some stuff about them back in the day

Do any nationalist projects call back to the Hittites? Most prominent ancient civilizations have at least somebody LARPing as them but I can’t think of anyone

@McCormack_Tara just read this wretched article out of curiosity for understanding how iran 'has been waging war on israel' - it was never explained as its just an incredibly daft and obvious lie
English
A modest proposal; nuke Tehran, Western civilisation saved.

Iran has been waging war on Israel and the US since the birth of the Islamic Republic. It is constitutionally committed to destroying the West. A ceasefire may be welcome, but it does not solve the real problem, says Tim Black buff.ly/k0umIX3

what an absurdist fucking terminal carnival. drooling court jesters of the mad ape king cheering on armageddon. hieronymous bosch meets budget psych ward

Is Turkey on deck to become the Middle East’s new Iran? In @Jerusalem_Post, my @FDD colleague @SinanCiddi and I explain why the answer is likely yes. Turkey and Iran are not identical. But depicting Turkey as a nuisance or simply complicated only emboldens a maturing adversarial regime with a record of undermining its Western allies.

@ArchysLife hey man at least they are leaning into their historical comparative advantage: disproportionate production of mystical loonies
English
@swinfreda they had to beg their constitutional court to invalidate an election because nearly half of the population voted for a schizophrenic fascist who thinks water is sentient. totally stable country with no underlying socioeconomic issues, nope!

"3rd world mentality" vro you're Romanian
LapisLazuli🇷🇴@LapisLazAlter
Again with the 3rd world mentality to never look inward when discussing your own problem. Always the saving face/turning on the interlocutor.

with some relief now that there may be a permanent end to the war, i can say: my god we are such a corny people. i love it. god bless every iranian. our displays are genuine, our passion for life and all its beauties are real no matter how corny to the irony poisoned western mind

Ali Ghasmari, an Iranian musician, played beside a power plant amid Trump's threats to strike Iranian energy infrastructure including power stations.

@ArchysLife i mean bizarrely they are almost right because in the event that israel attacks turkey the us would, in the abstract, be obliged to protect turkey
English
This meme is a great encapsulation of the Retard Right. The text on the original image was "I ain't fucking dying for Israel", but now that Israel is threatening Turkey it's "I ain't fucking dying for Turkey" instead.
Zero actual principles.

@Zmei_Hhsss its pretty much exactly the same except prob better now than, say, in 2016. the only erasure of anything has been the voluntary exile of idiot white collars and the pride parade ban (wah wah)

@swinfreda Istanbul is a great city. "Erasure of cosmopolitan bleh bleh" just means that cracked down on liberals.

🥱 i have read this exact piece maybe a million times by 2015 🥱 a structural fossil of the hapless foreigner who fancies themselves a weimar adventurer on a flying carpet genre of the mid 2010s
Hannah Lucinda Smith@hannahluci
Years of political repression and creeping urban decay have hollowed out Istanbul's soul, designing dissent out of its once-vibrant streets and erasing its rich cosmopolitan past from popular memory. My (sad) farewell to the city: engelsbergideas.com/essays/istanbu…
English
something simultaneously eerie and endearing about knowing its still 2015 somewhere
English
whats so infuriating is they obviously know nothing about the city because they are clearly unwilling or unable to befriend anyone local and cool so they hang out in taksim among hoardes of saudi tourists and bemoan the loss of istanbul
English
im baffled someone so idiotic as not to be aware of the months long protests (some of europe’s largest) that took place in istanbul last year ever made money writing about this country and glad they are not anymore
