Öte yandan başta BAE olmak üzere Katar, Bahreyn, Suudi Arabistan, Irak'ın hemen hemen tüm ticaretinin de İran'ın tutabileceği Hürmüz Boğazı'ndan geçmek zorunda olduğu da konuşulmadı.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Singapur yaklaşık 40 sene boyunca yüzde 7’lerde büyüyerek bugünkü ekonomik gücüne ulaştı. Lee geldiğinde 500 dolar olan kişi başı gayrisafi hasıla, bıraktığında 50 bin dolar olmuştu. Lee devleti küçük ve verimli olacak şekilde tasarladı, iş kurmayı kolaylaştırdı ve zamanının kapalı kalmayı tercih eden ülkeleri arasında bölgede bir tutunacak yer arayan büyük yabancı şirketlerin Singapur’u seçmelerini sağladı.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Throughout the year, I post a short review of the book I finish reading on my goodreads page as soon as I come to the end, so that:
- I write about the book before I lose that feeling I'm left with as I read the last sentence
- I know I might not do it later
- When the year is over, I can very quickly create this post
- And keep a copy of what I thought about the books I read that year in one tidy place 

This year I'm writing this as the year ends.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Eşlerimizin yanımızda olmamasının da verdiği rahatlıkla hala lisedeymiş gibi aramızda olmayanların dedikodusunu yaptık, 100bin kere anlattığımız hikayeleri bir daha anlatıp güldük, birbirimizden akran zorbalığı için malzeme topladık ve ana-babaları çocuklarına, çocukları ana-babalarına rezil ettik.

Başganımız Y bu sene HRT Aleyhisselam’ın rahle-i tedrisatından geçtiği için daha müsamahalı mı idi? Hayır. Faşizm gevşemiş, yerini oligarşiye bırakmış mıydı? Hayır. Megafon ile talimat verme geleneğine son verilmiş miydi? Hayır, hayır, hayır.

Ama ilerleyen yaşımız da göz önüne alarak bu seneki günlük programa dinlenme saati eklenmiş ve akşam yatış saati erkene (12:30) alınmıştı. Başgan beni geçmiş senelerdeki gibi megafonla uyandırmaya kalkmadığı gibi, zalim, Bezos bicepli kocası first husband B’nin tekila shot zorunluluğunu da benim gibi içki içmeyenler için esnetti. Biliniz ki Başgan esirgeyen ve bağışlayandır.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had the fortune and the misfortune of watching, by myself, the depressing and mesmerising German film Dying (Sterben).

I had watched the trailer a couple of weeks ago and got intrigued. I read the FT review (5 stars out of 5) this weekend. I knew very well it would be hard, 10 days after my father has passed away, but I felt like I had to see it. Especially now.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Technofeudalism is a thought-provoking read, cleverly structured around a conversation with his late father, peppered with Greek myths, the usual Greek etymology flexing, some questionable takes (Disney+ doesn’t benefit the consumer?), and the occasional detour into colonial guilt. I’m glad I read it. But I can’t fully trust Varoufakis — his grand agenda and ideological biases always seem to shimmer just beneath the surface. ]]></description>
