Not sure if this is some kind of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or if OP just also did the NYT crossword this morning.


Because Ceuta has been all over the news, Morocco's other weird border is getting attention.


Ceuta is really Spains weird border... its just Morrocan city with a spanish fence around it.....


It also showed up in the discourse thanks to Christopher Nolan controversially filming parts of The Odyssey there.


And related to what happened in Ceuta recently. "The Moroccans orchestrated a similar cross-border influx in 2021 in retaliation for Spain’s allowing Western Sahara President Brahim Ghali, whose nation Morocco claims for itself, into the country for medical treatment." https://www.thenation.com/article/world/ceuta-spain-morocco-...


Oh, I forgot about that, but had seen that in the news as well.

It’s kind of weird that this area that I was only aware of because I like studying maps has popped up a whole bunch in the last few weeks.


Baader-Meinhof? how so? (and yes, I know they were the first generation of the Red Army Faction)


You are one of todays lucky 10000! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion


there is a book in German called 'Der Baader-Meinhof-Komplex", so I was a little bit irritated, as someone who knows the history of the RAF

Thank you! I ran into this a ton in college, and still do sometimes with new (to me) authors. I was confident about what was happening, but it's nice to know it's a documented phenomenon.


with llms or even agents I introduce far more attack surfaces


I play GeoGrid quite regularly and Western Sahara works well to score rare low-point answers. So I was a bit surprised to see it here as well.


Same, but it was a video diving deep into the recent news about the surge of refugees into Spain -- very enlightening.

Found it. It's Cody Dahler who is a cheeky commenter on "current events" -- he's worth watching. Couldn't find it on YT so FB it is:
