World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You just know that Trump is going to have to say and do some batshit wild stuff to distract us from this.
What next?
My money is on claiming Antarctica as US land because of ...uh... Ice prices or something.
There are valuable resources, like gas and oil, under Greenland. He made a deal with Russia to carve up Ukraine's rare Earth minerals.
It seems that Trump's motivations are based on grabbing as much valuable resources from other countries as he can. So far he's been failing.
So sorry, looks like the correct answer for this morning was "pardon Pete Rose and try to strongarm the MLB Hall of Fame into inducting him". I'm sure that will change by lunch though.
Fsck, I didn't know who Pete Rose was and thought you meant Trump was strong arming them into inducting Trump himself. And while it made me go WTF, it didn't surprise me.
Jesus. Rose is dead and did 6 months at "Camp Fed" minimum security in 1990 for tax evasion related to horse-racing winnings, and memorabilia/autograph sales. There's somebody that needed a pardon. 😑
Meanwhile we're blowing up the entire Post-WW2 order, making the world much more dangerous, and destroying America's standing in the world in favor of powers that are (for now) much more autocratic.
Yay baseball!
Hey. Hey! . . . do not besmirch the baseball. This has nothing to do with baseball.
Because that's America's top priority right now.
What the fuck?
First time?
The tariffs are due to start on Canadian goods in a couple days. I expect Trudeau is going to face the same kind of tantrum.
Yeah you know, cover the cover - wasn’t this a cover for removing us intel programs to counter Russian election interference?
Did they try to cover that? Like - after it was on the front pages?
🤷
Rich deposits of unobtanium have been discovered there by the uh National Office of Discovery
If NOD found it, it's more likely to be tiberium.
Can’t wait to watch bags of ice shoot up to $10 in America.
