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

Heading to the cottage - stock up before leave the city, don't stop along the way, drive in and lock the doors, hope the car is safe.

Did you mean that personally?

Got there after dark, drove on low beams. One other from the city down below. Safety in numbers. Then again, they have scythes and fruit pickers and other tools of the field.

Yes well I didn't imagine anything like "townies" in your situation. Rather the most recently famous rural lifestyle-ians about which urbanites have long had much fear. I.E. Ed Gein etc.: not a townie types.
edit to add: meant as a reply to PP, not moat, clicked wrong place.

I pulled out what remained of my fence, using my urban 7-seater as a makeshift tractor. Now I'm defenseless. Gone are the days of wonder at the fireworks across the mountains - now it's just silence and waiting for the Plague to subsume. The neighbor put up a post with milemarkers. I want to add one for "Oblivion", but I don't know how far... Could be close, in which case doesn't matter.

NYT did a NYC map, my zip code has only 104 positives, is mostly working class and mixture of plain brick apartment buildings and attached townhouses on teeny lots. Zip code next to us west, has 253, is up steep hill (hence the "street steps" in The Joker, and boy, are they a "fence", I figure was done on purpose to keep the riffraff away-is real hard to get up there and no subway) and on the Hudson River is "the exclusive Riverdale section of the Bronx" circa 1910-1920, with lovely boulevards and cul de secs, old trees mansions and manses with yards as large as any upper class nabe anywhere. Lots more air and space, privacy, more cases, go figure.

Complacency? Too early for garden parties, so had to hold sourees indoors? A bit of East Egg in the Bronx? my Ft Apache imagery is torn.

Oh yeah, forgot about this one, seems like so long ago I read it--the Westport CT superspreader party, clueless jetsetters, NYTimes March 23, two reporters on it:

Let them eat Netflix (or the cheaper quivalent). As bad as it may be, this is not your grandpa's Depression - the connectivity of mobile phones equalizes and tamps down a lot of the terror.
