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.

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

Clever, it took me awhile to 'get it'.
I had to go back to my Oxford-Anguish Dictionary.

The words I hear are not the words I see. Words are nothing. I am nothing, waiting, alone.

I think you will find it easier to understand things like this if you become a regular reader of the inserts in the Dr. Scholl’s Foot Pad products. I order mine on-line and I always try to get the package meant for the French market. There are no pads in the box, just the insert, but it goes a long way toward understanding things. As a side benefit after reading them I have lost all desire to even go out of the house so my foot ailments have become moot. I like to think of it as my one zen breakthrough.

I hereby give you Dick's Dayly Award.
You will find the prize meaningless, I'm sure. But the $50 cash should come in handy.

Y;know, I first saw Star Wars with a pretty Belgian girl named Anne. I laughed a lot during the movie, but she never cracked a smile. All these years I thought she had no sense of humor, but now I realize she was in anguish.

That wasn't Anne Guish, from Brussels, was it? She was one serious girl.
by Rootman on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 5:53pm
More likely Ann Ailment. Nasty girl, got around a bit.
Fortunately, she had a twin, Ann Tidote. That helped.
by quinn esq on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 6:05pm
Ha, I never did learn her last name.

Oh where oh where are Mrs. Premise and Mrs. Conclusion when you need them.

My absolute favorite Python moment. "When will he be free?" "He's spent the last sixty years trying to work that one out."

One less L in Étoiles, Émma. Désolé to add to your ennui, but typographical accuracy begins the other side of despair. Or so I'm told. Like it matters. Je m'en fous, gang de cons dagblogiens.

Sacré merde!
Comment dites-vous 'spelling police' en francais?
Je suis tres desole...
by EmmaZahn on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 7:04pm
Vous blaguez, mais ...
In France, l'Académie française defines what's acceptable spelling or usage, and denounces use of "anglicisms." In Quebec, there's l'Office de la langue française, which actually has inspectors who visit businesses and warn them of language-law violations. Like having too much English on their signs, or carrying products without French labeling. Ignore them and they can fine you big bucks. By the way, Emma, consider this your official first warning.

Is copy/paste a valid excuse?
by EmmaZahn on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 7:36pm
Hell is - other people's spelling.

Yea well down here in the southern Provinces we argue about language usage too. For example do you know which is corrrect - motherfuckers or mothersfucker?
