Pay attention to me! Ignore Luigi and Elon. I'm the news! I will have order!
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.

Just cut to the chase and invade Poland already you giant twat.
Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of the last time USA invaded Panama. We are all suffering from collective PTSD this weekend from that, and the events from such a traumatic event are still raw. And the Yankees decide today is the best day to threaten us with a second invasion?!
I'm not afraid... I'm angry.
If its any small consolation, the evil, lies, and idiocy built into our system are finally causing us to turn the violence inward toward the system itself, and increasingly toward Americans. History shows that its the nature of this sort of corrupt governance always turns inward on itself eventually. It just takes far, far too long, and there is no restorative justice at the end. And the cycle continues without learnings from our history.
I wish american citizens could give you something better than that, but we honestly don't know how. From one human being to another, I'm sorry, and what happened to your people should not have happened.
As are we.... As are we.
Our own government is so deeply corrupted with corporate interests, hate, and fascism it feels hopeless.
I can only hope that this government tries to make too many bad decisions and America gets the backlash it deserves.
It's not that there's someone intentionally deciding when and what Mr Trump should say that is the most insulting and offensive thing possible from one minute to the next ... but that's impossible to prove with the evidence at-hand.
At this point, I'm on board with a global trade war against the US. Build your stupid wall, surround yourselves with it and rot in the Maga stew you voted for. Come back out to talk to us when you're ready.
Sadly, they have trilions of debts in the war machinery.
Another 30 years probably
Love watching this dumbass destroy the empire.
The asshole isn't even in charge yet...
Reality continues to be more absurd than satire. I'm not sure how much more of this i can take.
Damn, that shithead hasn't even been inaugurated yet and he's already power tripping.
May he die very soon.
I think in general this is a problem with how the US elections work, there shouldn't be this 2 month window.
The only thing getting trump in office sooner would get us is ending the "american experiment" sooner. I'm not looking forward to that. Its evidently time for republican traitors to push us off the cliff we have collectively pushed so many other peoples off of. Not used to the idea that we have real consequential pain coming.
In the late 1700s it took months to get election results. Things that seemed normal hundreds of years ago....such as allowing bearing of arms in the form of a musket that maybe shot 1 bullet every 3 minutes... Today they are crazy...same rule applies to a machine gun that can spray hundreds of bullets in same time frame. The founding fathers had no idea what was to come.
Where there problems of this sort with any of the previous presidents?
This specific problem, probably not, but in general the 2 month lame duck session is a problem. It creates a period of no accountability for the president giving up their power, and the window makes doing things internationally more difficult as the incoming president may do things differently and cancel/change things.
Lots of things about our elections were designed with the assumption that it would take ages for people to get anywhere, hence the delay. Not really relevant anymore, though.
In the future, the US will finally make a constitutional amendment that fixes this, and a decade later we'll develop human teleportation, but it'll be another 100 years before they get to updating the constitution again.
The next 4 years are gonna be a blast. Thanks America!
The trauma of 2016-2020 was still raw, but you guys really love sequels!
I wonder who even brought up the Canal and why? You know there’s no way in hell he thought of that on his own.
I got u fam... He just sat down with Jeff bezos a few days ago.
"Donors" would be my guess
The UK criticized US presidents mental health as ridiculous and demanded to increase the IQ requirements or the USA return to the UK
Why would the UK get it and not indigenous people?
Head Of Lettuce demands to be un-wilted and returned to its former position as UK Prime Minister
Trump is that old lady in a backed up check out line arguing with the cashier over her expired coupon. And paying with a check.
