The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ryan Grim life in Congress ‘completely transformed’ after Democratic leader stepped down
"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Comments
I was commenting recently about eternity.
It is not really eternity.
The proper term should be timelessness.
In timelessness there is no beginning and there is no ending.
The event is simply timeless.
I watched the geese today heading south and having second thoughts mid air as they left the Mallards--for what reason I do not know.
The Sea Gulls who come up here in April on their way to the Great Lakes come back for awhile in October.
Migration appears to be perfect for geese and gulls but there are always a few less educated Mallards who stick around far too long and end up frozen.
I know I am on the precipice of a winter that shall never end.
So I understand the concept of spacialness. I have found myself at places where there seems to be no specialness. ha
When time and space are in sync I become depressed.
Today I actually read a piece where teabaggers are notifying employers that they should not hire anyone until after November 2012.
This just enrages me.
Birds do not enrage me.
The angle of the sun does not enrage me.
But man's inhumanity to man enrages me.
Barry, two years late as far as I am concerned, finally gets us out of an illegal war and the repubs demand we invade Iran.
What is a mother to do?
But the birds and the wind and the ponds and the forests tell me that humanity is just a passing breed that will eventually anihilate itself.
The birds and the wind and the ponds and the forests will endure.
the end
hahahahahah

Please save this reply of yours. It is both spacial and special and it was a delight for me to read. Thanks for it.
Geese, Mallards, Seagulls,
seldom think beyond right now
Man does nothing but.
Eternity is
a wish not to die made real.
A hope we can't prove.
Of course, it's also
dining with all your in-laws
or waiting for 'news'.

MARVELLOUS!
hahahahahah
I always wonder if anyone actually reads my nothingness.
hahahahah
Oh I could give you stories about dining with my in-laws. hahahaha
Oh Smith. I just recalled.
Throughout the summer there was this wild white goose who could not find its defintion-so to speak.
He stuck around the Mallards who would find no objection to his presence.
A month ago the wild white goose disappeared.
We have really white gulls who come from Superior and end up there in the end.
For some reason he ended up lost with the mallards.
He went away.
And I wonder where he went.
The white goose who did not end up among the ordinary geese!
I dunno, I shall use my camera next time.
I missed the moment.
But the white goose shall always remain in my consciousness.

"Lost with the Mallards." a short story title if I ever read one. LOL

A sublime image. Nicely done, Oxy.

Thanks. And thanks for posting your work, it's a real pleasure to read.

Nice collection of piñatas. I will take a swing:
Property is theft,
so is it's abolishment.
Pronouns are tricky.
Chaos is not free.
Supplicants gain no favor
praising lucky breaks.
A wind plays the chimes.
How odd it would be to think
the reverse was true.
