  "textContent": "Random thoughts on the passing week.\n\n- After 2 weeks of hiatus I was finally in the atelier again to work on my\nsculpture. I think the bust is coming to an end. I feel the resistance to\ncontinue working on it. One part of me says \"I'm bored of this, I want to work\non something new,\" while another part says \"this is 80% finished and I know the\nlast 20% is the hardest part.\" I honestly don't know what to do. Anyway this is\nhow it looks right now:\n\n{{< figure width=600 src=\"/images/the-last-20percent/bust.jpeg\" caption=\"If you think that it looks odd, it was intentional. It's a bust, half female and half male.\" >}}\n\n- We are watching the new Traitors Türkiye show with my wife. It's definitely\ncringey, but thankfully I've exercised my cringe muscles enough to get hooked\non the show. It's so funny to watch a group of people slowly implode because\nof their failure to coordinate. They keep voting away the innocents because the\ngroup keeps selecting tall poppies as the Schelling point. I've never watched\nthe US show so I don't really know the format, but I wish we didn't know the\ntraitors so we could try to spot them alongside the participants. Nevertheless\nit's a good show to watch while we eat instead of the always depressing Turkish\nnews.\n\n- I don't know why but I haven't been able to read the last few weeks and\nI'm starting to worry. I've been reading Rosalind Krauss' Passages in Modern\nSculpture since last month. It's a good book and it's a gift from my friends,\nso I don't want to abandon it. I think I'm not able to read because life has\nbeen so busy the last few months. Work is busy, I needed to travel a lot, and\nmy political duties plus my hobbies already take up too much space. The problem\nis authors keep writing books, so there's this never-ending feeling of being\nbehind. (GUYS CAN YOU PLEASE STOP PUBLISHING NEW BOOKS FOR LIKE THE NEXT 10\nYEARS OR SO!?)",
