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.

Countercounterproposal: put them in orbit ASAP and keep them there.
Oopsies the station is decompressing quickly. Oh no what a terrible tragedy for the history books. One can dream.
Oh, yeah, right. Space Station. I suppose you could put them inside of something for their orbit. I had something more straightforward in mind though. Just strap em to a rocket and let fly. Make them explorers of the solar system
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Trump?
The best thing that could happen would be for Elon to actually attempt to go to Mars
Every time I see pics of him in that "colonize Mars" shirt, I think: YOU FIRST, fELON.
Counterpoint, fly them both to the ISS, get the two stranded astronauts back, then space them out of orbit but leave the station there.
Counterpoint proposal, stuff the ISS with as many traitorous fascist Project 2025 bastards along with President Musk, his plus-one Trump and their buttboy Vance.
This sounds interesting. Imagine all of them trying to figure out how to "rule" the ISS as it gets just a bit warmer...."no! The rule says we must wear clothes at all times!....well, because he's the president, that's why he gets to go naked"
I'm just picturing the Libertarian types among them all trying to out-Galt-Gulch one another, while the white supremacist types among them are calculating who among them are the most "in-group" when it comes to being the most "superior race".
Don't forget fElon's Incel Clown Posse, AKA, the dogebags!
they aren't stranded
Ah yes, I forgot. They can probably just ride the safety exit door on a Boeing soda can craft that may be attached to the iss.
there is a dragon capsule docked that is their ride home. they have a ride home assigned to them, but their return has been delayed. they are not stranded.
