“It is a mistake,” he said, “to suppose that the public wants the environment protected or their lives saved and that they will be grateful to any idealist who will fight for such ends. What the public wants is their own individual comfort. We know that well enough from our experience in the environmental crisis of the twentieth century. Once it was well known that cigarettes increased the incidence of lung cancer, the obvious remedy was to stop smoking, but the desired remedy was a cigarette that did not encourage cancer. When it became clear that the internal-combustion engine was polluting the atmosphere dangerously, the obvious remedy was to abandon such engines, and the desired remedy was to develop non-polluting engines. “Now then, young man, don’t ask me to stop the Pumping. The economy and comfort of the entire planet depend on it. Tell me, instead, how to keep the Pumping from exploding the Sun.”

1 saatlik stand-up tadında bir gösteri yaptı.
Herkesi kırdı geçirdi.
Bir büyücü gibi avucunun içine aldı hepimizi.
Nihayetinde otel dışında bir mekân açmış.
Biz otelde 20 saat non-stop etkinlik yaptığımız için yöredeki esnaf kapının önüne sandalye atmış durumda.
"Milletin götü açlıktan örümcek bağladı yewrummm, arada bir repo yapın.

And Annwyn…the air, the very land itself, seems to thrum through me.
Like she’s saying, there you are.
I feel her like a shot of adrenaline surging through my veins and filling
me with a staccato thrill, ready to help fuel my fury and push my power to
rid her of her tarnished and twisted people.
It elates me. Makes me feel everything fae that I’d been cut off from for
so many years. And with this vicious elation, I realize something else dark
and noxious that’s luring my fury out—the black veins that stream through
my gold.
It’s pushing, seeking to ravage. To kill.
“Auren!” someone calls, but I ignore him. Don’t pay him any mind. I’m
too entranced by the pull of punishment.
“Stop,” I whisper beneath my breath.
The rotted gold seems to snarl back.
My jaw clenches. Teeth gnash. My entire body shakes with effort. This is
my magic. Mine. I wield it.

Spinning on my heel, I take in the street.
The Stone Swords are all dead, black lines streaked over their metallic

“Sürekli müzik dinler” dedi.
“Hadi ya...”
“Non stop. Uyurken bile. Kulaklıklarını çıkardığını görmedik. İnsan içindeyken bile tek kulaklığını çıkararak idare eder. ‘Onlar benim yaşam destek ünitem’ der ve bu konuda ciddi galiba”
