@HaFsA_2050 I also see that the calendar is apparently for 1964. Don't make a thing out of it if I'm wrong... :)

@BilgeEbiri I haven't seen Rob Roy! I do recall that it was showing at the NRV Mall multiplex in Christiansburg, Va., back in the day.

@dani__battaglia It's surreal to see Richard Ojeda (the man between the two African-Americans for those who don't recognize that name). I saw his name on a campaign sign in Lewisburg, West Va., just a few years back!

@BilgeEbiri Watched it on the Criterion Channel fairly recently. I had not seen it since I was in high school!

@Ataqoz My late father met Ataturk when he was swimming in Florya; my baba was a child then. My dad was actually born in 1921; he was an older father than most.... :)

@RadfordVB My 86-year-old mom actually went to both Winthrop and RU (undergrad at Winthrop, grad-school at RU). I'm also a RU alum, Class of '96 (I didn't go to Winthrop). Good luck in your next game. I'm sure the team will bounce back:)

@Nawaz19u19 Did Mr. Nawaz ever give the answer?

My thoughts go out to those who were killed or injured in today's mass shooting by a right-wing extremist in #Krakow #Poland today #KrakowAttack #Cracovia #Polska I'm a Turkish-American in the #USA but I follow your country closely since I lived there as a child in 1976

@yekaball It's Cubillas, the Peruvian Pele! Yes, this is a joke. I have no idea who it could be, Cubillas is now 77 years old!

@Ataqoz Ouch! I know I can ask Google, or AI, but is Icardi still unsigned? Hope we manage okay without Osimhen!

@drjazz76 Thanks so much for posting this! Even though I live far away in Virginia, USA, Buyukada means a lot to me.

@EpiroteReport I'm a Turkish-American. I notice the picture of Ataturk, which means this photo was taken in TR. And, I noticed the EU flag just to the right of Ataturk.

@BilgeEbiri They are trying to build not one, but two data centers, within 60 miles of where I live!

@simongerman600 As a Turkish-American, the one unique Turkish experience I miss most as I haven't been able to go there since 2008, is those bus depot guys who yells: "Ankara. Ankara. Ankara!!! Ankara'ya giden var mi (Is anyone going to Ankara??!)"

[Attila Gokbudak @Tilly70]

@BilgeEbiri Cool deal! I haven't actually seen The Baltimorons, though I really want to. Kudos, Bilge!

[Attila Gokbudak @Tilly70]

@GovBillLee @NRO @carolinedowney_ I'm so glad I live in #Virginia instead of #Tennessee You're such a hypocrite for wanting to see Christy Pike executed again. There is nothing Christian, or descent about you.

[Attila Gokbudak @Tilly70]

@BilgeEbiri I watched the highlights, in Turkish and in English. Truly a great game. I may be a Galatasaray fan, but I was impressed with Fenerbahce.

[Attila Gokbudak @Tilly70]

@BilgeEbiri Kudos to you for all you do, Bilge.

[Attila Gokbudak @Tilly70]

@missannabiller Oh wow! I love your cat, and the films you've directed!

[Attila Gokbudak @Tilly70]

@BilgeEbiri Listening to your appearance on Watch With Jen, the Russell Crowe episode. Strangely enough, I briefly met him when he was at Sundance back in 2002. Hope all is well...
