On Bird Jewish
@Ralph Haygood Actually, one who lives in Turkey does pretty much every day, but Turks don't usually limit their paranoia to Jews.

On Dumb Questions I’ve Had For Science
OK! This is a serious question about moon/sun/earth relations that I am too embarrassed to ask anyone I know (also, I doubt anyone I know would know the answer...at least I hope so). It arose (ha!) because of this moon thing. Here goes:
I see the sun come up, this time of year, very distinctly in the NE sky (not as far as it will be in june, but pretty far north), compared to wintertime, when it rises in the southeast sky I GET WHY THIS IS I AM NOT A COMPLETE IDIOT.
So, this fucking giant moon the other night rose in the southeast sky, nowhere near where the sun is coming up these days. EXPLAIN WHY THIS TO ME in language that someone who is clearly an ignorant mook can understand. (if it matters, I live in Istanbul)

On I Have Thoughts About Commenting Systems!
I am VERY CONCERNED about my ONLINE BRAND so please for the love of all that is good and holy, no FB or twitter comments. My low number is a constant source of validation for me (and my online brand) and I am not sure I can live without it.
As usual I'm late enough to the party to echo in less clever ways what everyone else says: colors are great (for the olds!), it would be better if you could see who likes comments (see above), and keep the commenter numbers. Did I mention no FB?

Also, "writing things that are verifiably true" is neither that's expected, nor encouraged, from journalists in either country.
