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

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.

Interesting that Douthat thinks that clip could guarantee Biden's election. He is kinda adorable in that clip, so maybe....

yeah, I get it, folksy old gramps. He's coming closer to the SNL Joe Biden babbling about Cornpop. Is not the more aggressive Joe Biden I knew in the past but he may very well have become that, people do change and we all know his son's death really affected him.

People would vote for Gumby, man. He's a nice honest guy! Extra added bonus: he knows how tough it is having a skin color different from most folks.

And if that black snake on the pony's head slithers forward a little and keeps a stiff upper hip that pony can fool people into believing it is a unicorn. I want one of those too, for VP at least, along with Gumby.
