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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.
It’s all about how for 75 years you have destroyed the future of generations of Palestinians, including my family.

Imperialism for me but not for thee?
It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

The lack of a cohesive delegation has allowed attention-seeking lawmakers to act on their own.

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

Except it might explain ADHD as much as anything else.
We think our activities are effortless, yet by 10pm we've done a whole lot of work
putting society back together at each moment.
In an analog world our landscapes were connected, one continuous wave.
Now it's made up of bricks and rubble and of course the screaming rabble.
We keep thinking adding one more brick of info will save the day, make us whole -
But maybe it's just another brick in our isolation, in our differentness.
We used to trade in knowledge - now we process data, as if the 2 are interchangeable.
We tack on "scientist" to pretend it's a science - as if a mortar layer is committing
Science when he slathers 1000 slabs worth of goop from his trowel,
Or the girl in the ticket booth trading little pieces of paper for other paper
All evening long. Is that understanding? Or just a job?
You shouldn't let scientists or government workers or salesmen lie to you.
But then we hardly have the strength and attention anymore to stop it.

I just got such a kick out of the video as she just reminded me of the "wisdom out of the mouth of babes" things ala a Judy Holliday character. When I didn't expect to. May or may not be tongue in cheek. In any case, look what she's got you thinking

I don't buy the little kid ploy - it's like ageless elfinlore - she's probably 1000 years old, from the Middle Ages, birthed in a volcano. And that valkyrii blue-eyed aryan thing - she kinda makes me sweat.
