I miss exactly 2 things from birbsite:

1) A handful of friends who I wish would move over here already because I'm not good enough at keeping in touch with them elsewhere.

2) I used to be much better informed about Turkey when I had a twitter account (and when the Turkish govt's crackdown on speech hadn't yet had its full effect).

Obvs no-one here can really help with #1, but on #2: can anyone recommend good Turkey news sources? Domestic media is sadly worthless.
