Out of the loop

In one case, the same spot in the Gulf of Mexico was labelled "Reclaimed People's Climate Mao Museum".

Did I miss something?

I saw a meme about something of fake frames, but i don't know what happened.

I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

Title says it all. I see a lot of chatter, but what's going on?

I see literally nothing but memes and tweet screenshots. An overview of what happened would really help fill me in

Seen a lot of memes about it, no idea what's going on.

So I thought that BlueSky was set up just like Lemmy in that it was fully decentralized into a sort of "terrorist cell" structure that wasn't focused on profits, but then found out that BlueSky has a CEO. Since this is a business, what makes BlueSky fundamentally different from Twitter or Instagram?

I feel like so long as a social media platform exists through monetization (in some form or another private companies need to make money), we are ultimately replacing one dictator with another.

I'm aware of the url mishap with the dolls and vaguely aware of the poster controversy but I've also seen people online call it a PR disaster and I'm entirely out of the loop on that

Is the word Halloween not acceptable anymore?

I saw the apology statement and the original tweet but I'm genuinely confused about what people are mad about?

Especially mad enough to make a fork of the Godot engine?

I did watch This video from Games From Scratch but he barely gives any actual information about what people are mad about. The most information I got is that a joke tweet was made and a non-affiliated moderator went a little overboard.

What am I missing here? What's got everyone so upset?

How likely or close are we to another pandemic? What would be the most likely government responses?

What I think I know : They tried to take a picture at Arlington National Cemetery, but couldn't? There was a physical altercation maybe? But the Trump campaign said there wasn't?

Is there more to this? Can someone explain to me the context of how this is a scandal?

Like I hate Trump but I don't understand why this is a big deal. It doesn't seem to involve the man personally, just some staffers who had an argument with a cemetery worker, and seems like small potatoes compared to other scandals he's had. Is it because of how sacred the cemetary is, or did they get into an actual fist fight, or did Trump personally interfere in some way?

What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

Somehow I missed what out of this world happened to result in some people stranded in space, and I thought it'd be fun/interesting to see how others describe what led to it.

I saw someone say it was because she's supporting dems but that doesn't seem like enough for the amount of dunking I've seen. Did y'all think she was so far to the left that that would be a betrayal? I've typically thought of her as a progressive more than a leftist. Is there some statement she made I'm not aware of?

I keep seeing him but can't figure out his role in the memes. Is it random like the orb thing?
