hmm lets see: a couple of things of note are: Architecture, MENA and like the comparisons between the way we approach these things.
 Basically i see you blog architecture type stuff every so often and like, the way in which you tag them and so on puts me starkly in mind of the differences between how I approach what i call Technics and how most other people approach Architecture and Technology. This would get too complex to explain but basically its interesting to see. because it shows some things about for example the general approach to like, buildings and stuff that are just totally alien to me. This should not be seen as an antagonism or criticism, more as an effect brought to light by the fact that my own thoughts on Technics arent fully formed.
 As far as the MENA stuff goes i view it as being a bit like my relationship to the hapless amateurs that come into the workshop where i work sometimes say “ kind siiiirrrrr can you correct my crude error? what do you mean it was wrong to put WD40 on this 200 year old thing? oop”. 
....In that because its a split between me basically getting all my syria stuff off of random infosec people, neo-cons, syrian anarchists and Map-obsessed russians on twitter, and you being An Academic or something. IDK basically i find it amusing that Itll be like Tobias Schneider posts about Barzani engaging in some partisan bickering hindering the Mosul op or some bollocks and then presumably up pops me, meme man, shitposting about democratic confederalism or whatever. Lord knows what other Syriatwitter people who happen across my profile think of this nonsense. I just appreciate your info etc basically. a good online cyber chum.
