— 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 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

Is dandy to be eye candy?
Apropos of nothing. Or for some related reason I don't totally understand. This song just popped into my mind. And I looked up the lyrics, I had never heard them all, and I can't believe how amazingly intricate they are. They are like messages from a foreign culture and it is striking about how aesthetics and culture in general can change:

Check out "De-Lovely"

Oh my gosh, I had never heard of it. Kevin Kline, what perfect casting! I will certainly try, always thrilled to learn more about the culture of the "swells". We were not always seen as imposter yankee "doodle" dandies nor even the ugly Americans of the 50's.
Sorta related, from having on CNN when it takes a break from news programming, and watching bits and pieces of their "American style" series that they play to fill air, I just learned about the Battle of Versaille fashion show of 1973 which is seen in the fashion biz as the definitive moment when the U.S.A. just blasted France out of the ball park. Got me thinking how in my lifetime, after that happened, quickly thereafter everything style was bottom up rather than top down, bourgeois or even lower class people power, at the same time lauding individualism, no more followers of anybody. Kind of the opposite of populism in a way. What DeTocqueville saw. Still there.

De-Lovely's a bit bittersweet, knowing it's just after Harvey Weinstein basically blacklisted Ashley Judd from the biz for turning him down, even though I'd much rather see her in this than Lord of the Rings, she still would would have made a bang-up elf.
