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.

not joyous enough. If he was a normal person shit like this would be posted in "uplifting news"
What's his face was shot but ✨💖 He Survived 💖✨
Happy day! This single orphan was spared from the orphan crushing machine!
Here's hoping him and Mitch McConnell share a cramped room in hell...
I think mitch hit the ditch years ago. What we see is just a dead husk, powered by the delicious licks of fascist boots (and no doubt the raging racism that also breaths it life).
And Musk.
Clearly a suicide attempt.
Traitor!
if only Russia could just be normal, it could have actually become a great nation
As always a bunch of greedy and murderous rich thugs are very effective at fucking everything up. An eternal story really.
Russia always amazes me in that they've never had a leader who was both competent and sane.
He survived. Sad times.
There's always next time.
Several, but not enough, times. I hope hospital negligence will fix that.
the russian healthcare system is one of the best in the world, that's why Jordan Peterson chose there for his drug addiction recuperation coma. /s
I am sure that hospitals for rich and important people in russia are top notch, they can cure almost anything except the falling out of windows epidemics.
gravity is a harsh mistress
You reminded me to search about the current condition of the young Don-Don. That piece of shit provoked a car crash a few weeks ago and was put in the hospital in a rather bad shape.
Russian medical care is worse than no care at all.
I think that all depends on who wants you to live versus who wants you to die.
Regular person, it's going to be better than nothing.
A general? Really really is going to depend

Navalny was saved by excellent medical care.
The doctors and emt that saved him, administerng atropine on the scene, later died of mysterious heart ailments. Despite being virile healthy men.
Its what he gets for not going up in tall buildings.
I hope he doesn't make it.
I'll assume that this wasn't the Ukrainians, because they'd have finished the job.
He's the second in command of the GRU - he would be a priority target for the GUR and would not go anywhere without a bodyguard somewhere near.
Assassins of any origin have life plans too, they don't want to be pinned down into a firefight with people who have lots of backup coming fast. The assassin did his job, which may yet prove successful, and did his best to get out fast.
Very high chance Putin did this over a disagreement.
That's not Putin's handwriting.
Not enough windows and polonium
He's alive, so unlikely
Cool 🎈🎉🎊
Was it a Ukraine supporter or was this attempted suicide?
He fell down.
Obvious suicide.
He get too drunk and decided to clean his firearm. Typical gun safety negligence. /j
Oh no are the bullets ok?
Hated by his own people.
A bullet must be preferable to a window
Holey Moley?
