This is very long (like I should talk) but really worth reading.
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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

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.

Yeah, cuz suppressing a story about a stolen laptop that Rudy's been jacking off on for a year is really a blow against freedom of speech. Kinda like thinking James O'Keefe or Julian Assange are "journalists". 1 of the most interesting developments is Eric Snowden going quiet since February - either figuring out how badly he'd been used, or Putin's actively shut him up. Either way, should make people question their counterculture renegade heroes a bit more. Sometimes laws are in place for good reason - and sometimes social media can be moderated better than a free range keg party.
And then there are idiots who still can't accept the Russians hacked the DNC among others, along with having a Russian lawyer peddle Hillary dirt in Trump Tower, a Russian intern asset running around shagging & dragging the NRA and GOP for a year (convicted of FARA-like 951 violations), and various other intrigue.

In case you didn't read the main story of this thread, have a look - https://www.techdirt.com/2022/04/15/elon-musk-demonstrates-how-little-he... - the "both sides balanced" was a concept from early internet since proven worthless. Especially if one of those sides isn't even real people. Elon is alternately genius and village idiot - this one's his more idiot phase. Give him a bear to walk around, not a large social media platform.

while I still mistakenly often think of him as a smart kid, he's actually got a ton of experience in this now, so here's Yglesias' two cents on the big picture:
