The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

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

Well, Peracles, I have a bone to pick with you. This article was lame to the point of limpness.
Joking aside, the differences between the male and female reactions to sexting were so far off I don't know how they got published. Dick pics are not pretty, (and I know because I got a virus on my work computer and the pics would "pop up" in the middle of nurses notes, etc. The office manager's husband had to wipe my computer) but that is beside the point.
But I had to click on this because I knew it had to be you and I was surprised it was not up to your usual standards, lol!

I wouldn't be too hard on the author [see what I did there?] - overall, re-reading the article with your disapproval in mind, I think she covers a lot of territory in short space, and provides a useful revisited lens on a lot of areas without coming across all agenda like. Of course I respect your opinion that it's a piece of crap, and feel honoured that my "usual standards" garner appreciation, but I'd still post this article again.
[I think she was concluding most dick pics were awffull, but there are ways to do it, say, less awful, and I think there's some intimation that the practice isn't *entirely* unwanted, though we can debate percentages and where/how it might not be unwanted and I was curious what changes might hint at especially for females 14-30 that I might not be clued into, especially since the grand punk/glam era of sex in the stalls seems to have passed out of fashion]

It's the cliched double bell curve. There's always some overlap. I'm sure there are some women that are cued visually and are turned on by a dick pic as much as many men are by tit pics. Though it does seem being cued visually is more common among men. I suppose it's good to occasionally point out that some women like to look at dicks. But there doesn't seem to be much more interesting information in the article. It's just one woman's opinion of how to make the pic more aesthetically pleasing. We all could give our individually takes on why one pic is better than another or why we like this porn flick more. A massive survey giving us the spread of opinions might be interesting but one person's take is unimportant and boring.

Next step: cam sex as recovery therapy?
And yet I imagine there's be only condemnation for her white straight male johns.
Trying to parse this New World Order. Seems no one does anything just for fun anymore, only psychotic traumatized reactions.

Peracles, I just remembered, when I was studying to be a Nurse Practitioner, we took some classes with medical students. There was a much anticipated "Sex Week," when we saw pics and movies of all things imaginable to do with sex, sex problems, and obsessions with sex. The highlight of the week was the screening of Misty Beethoven, which was a high quality porn film. I have forgotten much about it but I do remember that Misty had many naked male butlers who served drinks with trays, and little towels draped over their (erections). Also there was a scene on an airplane, and rather than a smoking or non-option, there was a fu**ing or non-option.
the point of the whole exercise was to make us unable to be embarrassed by what might come our way in practice. I haven't thought about that in years, but it may very well have colored my reaction to this article. I could say more, but I think I'd better not, lol!
