🇽🇰🇺🇸 Pro-government social media accounts have started sharing AI-generated pictures claiming to show PM Albin Kurti meeting Donald Trump. Thousands of people believe the pictures and praise Kurti, even though the meeting never happened. Kurti is the only Kosovo leader who has not yet met with Trump.

“The unmixing of the people” “But how can you unmix something if you don’t know what was mixed in the first place?” Reading @lea_ypi’s INDIGNITY on a beach of a Greek island on the shores of Turkey where the rental car speaks Turkish and culture is a potpourri. Truly amazing literature. Every page a commentary on our own crazy time.

In reflecting on post-communist Albania, this piece argues that politically committed art should not serve power or repeat official doctrine. State socialism, the essay suggests, reduced commitment to ideological loyalty. By @lea_ypi in @tribunemagazine buff.ly/cJaRMbs

Her şey tek bir fotoğrafla başladı: 1941 yılının kışında, Alpler’in karlı zirvelerinde lüks içinde gülümseyen genç bir kadın. Lea Ypi, hayatı boyunca nezaketine ve bilgeliğine sığındığı babaannesi Leman’ın bu görüntüsü sosyal medyada “hain” yaftasıyla linç edildiğinde, sadece bir kadını değil, bir ailenin onurunu kurtarmak için geçmişin karanlık dehlizlerine iniyor. Arşivlerin soğuk belgeleriyle anıların sıcaklığını harmanlayarak bir hayatı yeniden kurguluyor ve bazen gerçeğin belgelerin bittiği ve hayal gücünün bir kadının ruhuna dokunduğu o ince çizgide gizli olduğunu ortaya koyuyor.

Lea Ypi okurlarıyla buluşuyor!🤩 Ypi, Özgürlük adlı anı kitabında doğup büyüdüğü Arnavutluk’un komünist dönemiyle bugününü karşılaştırıyor ve “hangisi daha gerçek?”, “hangisi daha özgür?” sorularını soruyordu. Haysiyetsizlik: Yeniden Biçimlendirilen Bir Hayat’ta babaannesi Leman’ın bu görüntüsü sosyal medyada “hain” yaftasıyla linç edilince, sadece bir kadını değil, bir ailenin onurunu kurtarmak için geçmişin karanlık dehlizlerine iniyor. Arşivlerin soğuk belgeleriyle anıların sıcaklığını harmanlayarak bir hayatı yeniden kurguluyor.

Jana Bakunina was born in the Soviet Union. Lea Ypi was born in Albania. I was born in East Germany. Today, we met in a tent in Dalkey, one of the wealthiest parts of Ireland on the western outskirts of Europe to discuss communist childhoods. History is a marvellous thing... 🤯
