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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

When people talk about trump being "unprecedented" I think it's because people don't know a prior Republican president specifically and explicitly requested to watch his son (a future Republican president) jack off as part of Skull and Bones...
Like HW Bush full on requested a front row seat, knowing full well what would happen because his dad was also a member too.
Wait what the fuck? What is the context here that I'm missing?
The Skull and Bones society is an elite, secretive undergrad club at Yale University. One of their initiation rituals involves lying down in a coffin containing the skull of Geronimo and jacking off. They are also alleged to possess the stolen skulls of Geronimo and Pancho Villa.
Through the 1800s and 1900s, the Skull and Bones Society helped to mould the future elites of the United States into the perfect psychopaths ideal for management of the empire. Notable members include Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, John Kerry, Averell Harriman (co-founder of Brown Brothers Harriman), William F. Buckley, William Nordhaus (the economist who won the 2018 Nobel Prize for calculating the optimal level of global warming at 4 degrees C, with any mitigation limiting warming below that being determined to cause too much economic harm); and a whole array of politicians, financiers, captains of industry, CIA men, ambassadors, and so on. And Paul Giamatti. They've all jacked off into Geronimo's skull while other members watched.
That's disgusting. Literally desecrating someone's remains. Also, what the fuck.
Oh and by the way, the "Nobel Prize" in economics isn't even a Nobel Prize. It's not awarded by the Nobel Foundation. It's awarded by some bank "in memorial of" Nobel.
a fake nobel prize for a fake science. Appropriate, no? Nordhaus also said in 1991 that global warming wouldn't affect the economy much since 90% of economic activity takes places indoors.
That's hilarious. And sad. Mostly sad, actually.
Even all of the economic activity that takes place indoors is contingent upon the economic activity that takes place outdoors. And that "90%" is probably measuring by financial output, not labor-hours.
It's extremely classist, short-sighted, and precisely what one would expect from such a person...
In short, yup. I have nothing to add
Monkeys spanking monkeys spanking monkeys over pieces of dat ass.
Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they'll gather 'round and watch the monkey spank its monkey.
Angels on the sideline again Wondering where this tug of war will end.
