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

That's not true - I remember using a usenet news bulletin board system, and I convinced someone that the World Wide Web was better.

I've noticed that almost everyone here has almost the same liberal views that I have. I've always imagined that I've convinced everyone here to my way of thinking. Off times I've convinced them without even posting my views. Just by thinking it alone in my room. Pretty impressive, huh?

It's the bubble over your imaginary head ... irresistible.

Oh God, now you've done it - started a round of Bubble Heads. There'll never be an end to this.

He's on the right.

Looks like a peeping drone intrusion on a pretty happening time in the bubble tub - a MeToo infraction? Even Bubble Heads have rights. (PS - got any videos?)
by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 07/07/2018 - 5:35pm
#BubbleToo hasn't gotten much traction, though those annoying mechanized bathtub toys are gaining in #PeepDrone popularity, and ruining the old-school "through the peephole" website threads. (PS - what's your offer?)
by barefooted on Sat, 07/07/2018 - 6:31pm
60-40 split on the social video distro, natch. Minus expenses & separate from the toy marketing. First run 10 episodes. BTW, "through the peephole" means something completely diff these days. How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm...
by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 07/07/2018 - 8:09pm
You don't know what I got, so standard ain't gonna cut it. Toy marketing in the works, so best you'll buy is 10 - less expenses, 'natch. First run? Already outdone, dude. As to the peephole, a taste is all I'm giving, but if you're willing to explore other "avenues", I'm down.

Except now the Internet itself is wrong.
And "on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog" becomes any number of alternatives.

Among those who sometimes use the internet for purposes relating to political persuasion, I wonder what the ratio of those seeking to persuade to those seeking to be persuaded is?
by AmericanDreamer on Mon, 07/09/2018 - 3:31pm
It may be that people are disagreeing more than trying to persuade. There is some evidence that opinions can be changed by comments made on the internet. If everyone is agreeing is it an echo chamber?
https://www.thecut.com/2016/02/sometimes-social-media-can-change-minds.html
The most obvious case of using the internet to actually persuade people is the Russian hack on the United States election system.

by rmrd0000 on Mon, 07/09/2018 - 3:45pm
Even your Wired link says straight out that Russian ops were not designed to persuade but to reinforce a tendency to divisions already present and sow chaos by ramping up diviseness:
It is easy to find other pieces that say the intent was not to persuade but to sow chaos.
In Europe as well, their point was to stir chaos, and eventually bring down systems by doing so.
So advocating copying their methods would be to advocate sowing chaos by reinforcing latent prejudices about "the other" and to get people to act out divisiveness more blatantly.

I stand corrected, all the bots did was change behavior. The bots activated and suppressed votes.
