News
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.

"Hmm..." thinks I, after reading the headline. "I wonder if this is going to be someone on the right or the left. I have my suspicions, but let's not jump to unfounded conclusions."
Turns out my conclusions were (once again) entirely founded.
I understand the words in this sentence, but the order they are presented in is... Baffling.
Thomas MacDonald (born September 21, 1988)[1] is a Canadian rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, and former professional wrestler. He is known for his anti-establishment subject matter in his music, in which he frequently criticizes "woke" culture, herd behavior and groupthink.[2] In 2024, he emerged as a figurehead of "MAGA rap", a Trumpist subgenre of hip hop.[3][4][5]
There's a lot to digest there.
Guy doesn't like group think. That's why he became a figurehead of MAGA...
....I may need more than one bottle of prosecco to prepare for 2025.
Not sure that clears up anything.
It's the best I got man, sorry.
"MAGA Rap" - all I can think of is some kind of low(er)-rent Kid Rock knockoff. 🤣 😂
I'm sure I'm wrong, and I'm not going to look into it any deeper, but that's what the phrase "MAGA Rap" brings to mind for me.
I actually kinda think you're right, but like you I'm not looking into it any deeper.
I’m assuming this was for when “the election was stolen”, but it wasn’t because musk won :)
Relevant to your sentiment there.
