I'm listening to Alexander the Great at the moment only just I realized the song mentions Anatolia. I knew Asia Minor was Anatolia but for some reason I didn't connect them together.

heard from twitter that Turkey was airing a penguin documentary instead of covering the riots. Is it true flash?

Yes. CNN Türk, that is. No media coverage because of the government pressure. Just two small leftist channels. Social media and amateur cameramen are our only source.

There are so many disturbing photos from the protests I could share but I'd rather not to. Here's the man who was killed by getting shot on the head in Ankara though (it's not too explicit but still explicit, on the right is the confirmation that it was real) :

 
People on my twitter have posted violent pictures to pictures of a huge masses of crowd gatherings to protesters getting sprayed by a water hose by the cops to one guy hoisting a Turkish flag in top of a rubble of a once standing building or house.
 
I didn't really hear much about this except from The Flash's posts. It's in the news, but it isn't described as serious as it is.
 
I was just trying to explain to some friends that things may be more serious than we see them on TV. I don't watch TV, so I have no idea what the coverage here actually is but what they knew about the situation was only that there were "green" protests in Turkey.
 
Interestingly, one of them told me that I was overreacting because "people always exaggerate things on social media."
 
Coverage has been strangely low key from a lot of media sources, with some giving the impression it's niche groups and only one protest.
 
Death toll is now 6 or 7. Only one is confirmed but screw the government numbers. Minister of Interior announced that 115 polices and 58 people were injured but that's only because injured protesters aren't welcome in hospitals. There are at least 3000-4000 injured people.

Police started to use tear gas inside the houses. Yeah, inside.
 
I'm alright, thanks. :D I have a bump on my head but I'll live.

I don't know what to say, Flash. I hope it all ends well for you.
 
If the bump is located on the side of your head, you might want to bang the other side somewhere too, so it'll look more like you're growing devil's horns rather than, well, having run into a signpost.
 
Hahaha! You have a point. I'm on my way.

On second thought, most people that know me would just think one of my horns is taking more time to grow.
 
Speaking of which, I just remembered an interesting fact about our evolution: If our coccyx would be only a little longer, our entire civilisation would look completely different.
