Wow. twitter.com/hbarkey/status…
This thread is truly incredible. In all my academic years I have never seen this degree of plagiarism not even at the undergraduate level. Why would international institutions have any faith in Uysal? Everyone he meets will know about it and know he is a fraud. How debilitating. https://t.co/gC0pOaFz5G

Gotta love the ship's name, "Yavuz". It's the nickname for Sultan Selim I (d. 1520), the conqueror of the Mamluk Empire and one who defeated the Safavids, after executing nearly all his male relatives. The name originally meant "wicked", but now means "bold". twitter.com/AJENews/status…

Fascinating thread, about a topic I don't nearly enough about to engage... twitter.com/mdvlmercutio/s…
Here's an explosive thread for you on Postcolonial Theory. I had never thought of it in these terms--mostly it seemed overhyped, but of some, if limited, utility. Need to rethink this now. Also, I'm definitely putting "The Empire of Apostles" on the to-read list! https://t.co/LGRCZAiH1L

Our President is so thin skinned that the Navy has to hide the name of a ship? We have reached a new and very absurd low. https://t.co/7dByTfrNhx
