Abdul really gives off typical middle eastern DL vibes.

Because of these seats moviegoing has become hanging out with 10 or so randos in a living room setting—most of whom are either eating, sleeping or playing with their phones.

Hot take: We don't need reclining chairs at movie theaters. We are not here to sleep. It degrades the artform and lessens the capacity of the auditorium.

@asliaydintasbas but it's obvious he's never used a peeler in his life before.

Does Zohran drink?

Not that I condone but a well meaning Turk can’t even get a Schengen visa for a few days. In the name of reciprocity Turkey should make permits even harder to obtain—for all but especially for EU nationals.

The ongoing wave of residence-permit rejections hits one of the best-integrated foreigners I know, a tireless booster of Turkish cuisine and independent travel and a true Istanbul lover. Geçmiş olsun Paul Bey, hope you'll be back soon.

Probably the worst magazine editor of the last decade, a decade that marked the end of glossies.

Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones calls it quits — and Anna Wintour’s reaction stunned staffers https://t.co/lriuN895aP

Watching the Martha documentary on Netflix made me think if someone looked into what James Comey's grudge against women is. He perpetrated the take down of the two most powerful women in recent history. Martha and Hillary.

Sick and tired of fact checking your sloppy reporting. Just two simple facts you ignored: The alliance between Erdogan and Gulen did not begin to shatter in 2013, it was before. Nor does his shady movement has millions of followers @carlottagall

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

Before your futile attempts to whitewash a cult member, it’s important to get the details right. For example, Gülen does not reside in Philadelphia.

Hakan Sukur’s name has been scrubbed from Turkish society. Edited out of films, removed from stadia, a TV commentator taken off air just for saying it.

I interviewed @hakansukur, with @EnesFreedom, as he approaches a decade in exile in America.

Wait Erdogan just said “house n___?”

@dieworkwear what brand are these? Brioni?

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

@Nia_Official Brand?

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

@AChristieMiller Congrats. Just read the Times review, looking forward to reading the book!

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

@charlesxholmes Good piece!

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

@dieworkwear can you comment on David Letterman’s style of shoes and socks.

@issacharoff can I DM you for an interview request?

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

Two Kamala Harris profiles back to back in two credible outlets. Seems like the the Veep PR machine is working. The Atlantic profile does indeed read like a press release, NYT Mag is journalism.

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

@BethElliott Appears carries more certainty than apparently, no?

[Oray Egin @OrayinEnglish]

The translation is inaccurate, the original Turkish phrase is not written in first person. I suggest: “apparently they will not be able to meet.”
