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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.
It’s all about how for 75 years you have destroyed the future of generations of Palestinians, including my family.

Imperialism for me but not for thee?
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.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ryan Grim life in Congress ‘completely transformed’ after Democratic leader stepped down
"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Uh, okay Hal, what does this 35-year-old article tell us about our services industry - Google, Amazon, Facebook - or how Apple killed Nokia (and Samsung is just an also-ran) and is a mega-trilliin dollar company while Tesla's perhaps the highest valued car company, Buddha knows why, and Cisco took over the IoT market? Any thoughts on AirBnb and Uber global profits, and the US share in Cloud Computing? Are we sad because we don't make TVs anymore? I assume you're pointing at some disaster or other - care to clue the rest of us in? And is there any analysis re: how the pandemic plays into this, or how helping to elect Trump set things back? And a Happy New Year to you too.

A good thread on futility or counterproductiveness of trying to combat kneejerk hard coded internet opinions with facts and reason (did you notice not 1 statistic in that '86 article? 3 countries mentioned but no industries? Try fighting back against gas - it's wispy, it's in graspable, it just flows everywhere... One might get a good killer comment or 300 in, but it just keeps coming back like Shaun of the Dead)

It's certainly interesting to know that Harvard Business Review has digitized its articles from BEFORE THERE WAS EVEN AN INTERNET for history researchers. I suppose one could call that "in the news"?

It's called "scanners" and "OCR". Unless someone still had a floppy (Hal? Are you a hoarder?)

Hal's dump-&-run still gathering dust.
Hal, do you hate that free trade helped extreme poverty in the world drop from 30% when the Wall fell to perhaps 8% before the pandemic? Do you hate that our globalization and more intertwined economies have produced say 1/10th the wars with 1/50th the bloodshed of the 40s up to 2000?
Would you agree that your "destroy the planet" is largely hyperbolic bullshit suitable for that tries-too-hard not-too-funny flick "Don't Look Up"?
