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

NYTimes has become so mealy-mouthed woke, it is practically unreadable.

Seems very readable

Emma just wanted to confirm you are not imagining things that the NYTimes has become unbelievably "woke" in editorial practice. It really did seem to happen all of a sudden, the last month or so. (The publication of The 1619 Project was like a warning that they might go in that direction but it didn't happen right away with that.) So many I follow on Twitter and in real life are seeing the same thing. It's so bad that it colors what's one thinks of what is happening in the country as a whole, and there actually might be a danger in that in misreading things. The rapid nature of the change has been creepy.
That said, I don't see it that much in their local coverage yet. What all of us do see there: they are dropping a lot of local coverage! Cut it to the bone, have even eliminated a separate section in print called "New York". Not doing enough stories to fill a separate section...

The complaint focused on the fireworks story. The story seemed to provide details about the incident.
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 07/04/2020 - 4:55pm
I'm not interested in discussing that. I see little value in deconstructing the coverage of a small local story.
Actually, I posted the story because there are conspiracy theories out there about al the fireworks being a government plot and I know for a fact that in NYC, it's all just stoopid local people allover the place playing with fireworks, and this was just one example.
Here I simply wanted to acknowledge to Emma on the bigger picture about the NYTimes that she was mentioning as a side issue. Which I see as a real problem.
And I'll say right now I don't care to get into it with you on topic, that would be a waste of time.

Emma I thought of us agreeing that NYTimes has become excessively woke, when just now I saw this interchange on Twitter (in response to Michael Kimmelman announcing a new NYT project)-- had to laugh that it's still all in the eye of the beholder:
