Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Wtf was going on with the Universe and last Wednesday in particular that made everybody act like they were living through a wild fever fueled nightmare?
I definitely think he probably would have said that regardless, but the fact that last Wednesday in particular was just so jam packed with surreal what the fuck is actually happening moments. Was it some kind of secret right wing day of significance that didn't go according to plan? Something in the air? Weird planetary alignments?
That whole day kicked off with Russian drones "accidentally" going into Polish airspace right before midnight in Poland.
This guy apparently lets his genocidal fantasy for undesirable populations slip on air, which ends up being too much for even Fox News to just brush off as casual commentary
Then the House and Senate try to get Republicans to tell them wtf is in the Epstein/J.P. Morgan/Peter Thiel/Elon Musk files, but they are blocked.
Then before anybody can even really notice that happened, Charlie Kirk is assassinated. Some old man in the crowd immediately screams he did it and tells the crowd to shoot him. He ends up hauled off in handcuffs with his pants around his ankles. It turns out he's just a local well known right wing political agitator, who also slept on a cot in Ronald Reagan's secretary of education's hotel room at the '88 Republican National Convention? As he's being hauled away with his pants down, the real killer jumps from a roof and escapes.
Then some guy with a pellet gun is arrested and released.
Then we finally end the night with Trump calling Kirk a martyr for free speech and Trump accusing the vitriol of the left (again the same day Fox News talks about executing homeless people) of being responsible for Kirk's murder.
We all go to bed with no clue wtf is actually happening before easing into the next day, which happens to be the anniversary of 9/11.
Wtf was that day?
Thank you for recognizing this. I felt crazy but it really did seem like everything bumped up a notch last week.
Not to mention there was a school shooting in Colorado, the state widely seen as the beginning of the wave of school shootings that haven't ceased since.
