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 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.

"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

Well, there's one fool I don't pity and it ain't Mr. T. It's some other T named guy.
I love Mr. T. I still watch A Team on late night tv and he was on Dancing With The Stars recently. Yeah, I watched that show just because Mr. T was one of the celebrity dancers. Sometimes a girl just can't help herself.

Yeah, I chose Mr. T because... who can hate Mr. T? The unity camdidate.

While I appreciate T's salute to the Rainbow Gathering tradition of coming to the gathering with your own plate and eating utensil there is so much in this photo I find objectionable. While I'm glad that for propriety's sake the picture was cut off above the genital region I'm dismayed at the sexualization of pop culture as T is clearly pointing at his penis. Given the strategic positioning of the cut off which was clearly not coincidental I think with much assurance we can speculate the penis T was drawing attention to was erect and very visable in the thin and skimpy shorts. While I can't definitively state whether he was advocating violence with his fist or suicide by directing it at his own head, either possibility is offensive.
Just looking at the front I count over 20 red and white stripes. One more example of a dumbed down American citizenry that doesn't know there were 13 original colonies. There are over 100 stars. Is the T advocating the forceable annexation of other countries and incorporating them as states of the union? Is this a plan for perpetual warfare leading to a One World Order? I can't stand behind Mister's call for an American hegemony.

He's panning for gold - American self-sufficiency. And all those stars? Space Travel! Mr. T and Elon Musk = SpaceT! And what's this Hedge Money bit? He ain't no Chauncey Gardener.

I can get my GPS to give directions in Mr T's voice. You should hear the abuse I take when I make a wrong turn! It is hilarious!

This seems like a comfortable spot for a couple of stories I've enjoyed this morning - know who Mary Katharine Goddard is? And was Revolutionary America really a Christian nation? Happy Independence Day (though for some reason celebrating our "ID" seems kinda pretentious)!

I think you mean "presumptuous" - yes, may be deluded. I was just celebrating Mr. T Day - colorful enough.

Unfortunately, pretentious fits now that Trump's da man.

great picture because it's sooo ironic, he is miming the whole "up yours" spirit of the day, the theme is reacting against tyranny in both cases and in a brawny way....
then there's the gold....
