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

Actions to take:
- Avoid the area;
- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

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.

"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

I find it hard to get all het up by stuff like this, I guess because I learned in like 1980 that The Antiques and Arts Weekly will publish any press release you send them verbatim if you are also an advertiser, and even sometimes if you're not an advertiser. (Well okay, they might not publish all your photos, but they won't touch your text!) You get: free advertising for giving them free content! And they have a huge and wide free distribution along with plenty of subscribers (who subscribe to get the ads!)
Suffice it to say: I learned to go with the idea that it's up to the reader to judge the quality of the work in a publication.
If an industry tout, real or memorex, is offering good solid helpful objective information, no big deal. Still, like everyone else in the market in those days, I learned to: read the Maine Antique Digest, with the real paid reporters, and as for the Antiques and Arts Weekly I'd browse the ads and ignore the articles. Not coincidentally: The former was funded by an old Maine family and was always begging for subscriptions to balance the budget; the latter was a fairly profitable operation.

Not worked up about it, just harder to vet our reading material. Of course my daily blog/newsroll doesn't have me waiting in a field for the spaceships to show up, but just in case...

I'm not surprised that some, maybe many, industries do this but I am very unhappy with the WP. I expect higher journalistic standards and proper vetting of sources from that type of news organization. Improper vetting of sources and information is one of my major complaints about the sites that lulu links to. I'm equally unhappy when it happens at the WP as I am when it happens at Consortium News.

I speak for the sock puppets. For too long, we've been denigrated and mocked by people like you. Just because we're not real people doesn't mean we don't have rights! We're mobilizing, baby, and we're gonna be HUUUUUUUGE in 2018!!!! Say good-bye Realies, the Sock Puppet Defense League is coming for you!

Look, sock puppets, meat puppets - I've been dealing with you (non) people for decades. You think I'm going to wet my drawers over some reheated muppets, a bit of darn and yarn, you got another thing coming buddy (or girl - I don't know if you socks have sex or even gender, but I'm there for you - transitioning or just androgynous). Anyway, the best defense is a good offense, so parry four.
And in case you pupps are ready to join the human race, here's an instructional video for you noogie types (NSFW, at least in the wetwear world - not sure about footwear aesthetics)

Whatever, dude! Your sockphobic routine doesn't fool anyone. Time to come out of the closet, puppet!
Oops, I outed you.
by Shovelready on Fri, 04/27/2018 - 2:05pm
I'm not bound by your Sockratic oath, nor do you pull my strings. Your phobic is just a faux bit - you came to provoke, but at least try to amuse.
