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.

It's Rolling Stone, they mostly do editorials. They're not the AP lmao.
Editorials are almost always opinion pieces, peer review isn't really part of that process. 😅
Yes, I prefer RS keep their format they got famous for with greats such as Hunter S Thompson and Chuck Palahniuk. They're not beat reporters, they're journalists.
See: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1994/07/he-was-a-crook/308699/
He literally invented Gonzo journalism and pioneered the New Journalism movement, while writing for RS no less, what are you talking about.
him dying of old age is a spit on humanity. babies get killed all the time and yet this psychopath lived a luxurious life after being responsible for the death of millions of people.
he may be dead, but even is death is a blight upon humanity, because he is, imho, one of the few people that deserve the death penalty for his crimes.
thats is the true tragedy,mr troll. it isn't hyperbole. hk is responsible for millions of deaths and lived in luxury until he died of old age. thats like hitler living out his days in some german village after ww2
The problem is that our society not only failed to punish, but actively rewarded someone who committed atrocities on par with world history's worst people. The problem is that it still does, which encourages more people like him to do more things like he did.
he was protected by the united states security. a mass murderer responsible for the death of millions of people, had the protection of the security forces of the united states. he was invited to the white house to give advice a lot of times, he was invited to parties all the time.
this is fucking surreal. the guy was responsible for millions of deaths, and there he was getting rich because he gave talks about being a fucking psychopath. and he did this in the most prestigious universities of the world.
if you really think about it, if you really take your time to understand, this whole thing is beyond fucked up. and there is this guy complaining about a title. which takes the situation from fucked up to absolute absurdity. its just absurd. i'm not even mad, i'm baffled.
hk was a symptom. nothing more than a tumour that broke the skin that is the disease that is the united states current policies. mr troll, the more i think about the more i question why is gwb still free? mr. troll have you shaken hands with hk?
