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.

Tonight at 8 pm, sprung on everyone at the last minute apparently.

Trump and Elon Musk, X’s owner, are slated to have what the tech titan has termed a “live conversation” at 8 p.m. Eastern Time that will be “unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!” Musk is soliciting X users to pose their own questions.

Will Trump DeSantis himself? I hope so.

A bigot nepo kid hosts a wierd sexist fascist convicted felon with tiny hands. Caveat is, that both are big fans of each other so there won't be any hardball questions, maybe they suck each others dick?

No hardball questions? Maybe. How racist will they get though?

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not just that. Hopefully someone watches and keeps a running score of how many times they disparage “others”!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

I don't think I'll add to Twitter's view count, I'll just read what I am sure will be an extremely unintentionally funny summary tomorrow morning.

Weird sexist fascist hosts weird sexist fascist

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

They are even bigger fans of themselves.

If we're lucky, one insults the other and they begin a shouting match live.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh my god. This is amazing. It's only been a few minutes and it's already a complete shit show.

This is very dangerous.

That much malignant narcissism in one place could form a singularity and an ensuing black hole.

[–] cranakis@reddthat.com 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've heard, when that happens; The narcissists head goes so far up their own ass, they fold in on themselves. The resultant matter is highly dense and caustic, yet still somehow capable of language. Trump and Elon have both crossed the event horizon multiple times already. Perhaps with the two feeding each other, their heads will fold into each other's asses. Scientists are eagerly observing...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

There must be some way to harness the energy of this sort of narcissism to solve our global power needs.

hey y'all, where can I watch this? on xvideos.com? 😏

[–] cmoney@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

It'll be difficult to fap to but I like a challenge.

One time, as a young man, I drank so much that I threw up, a lot. Like kept throwing up and then there were the dry heaves.

Watching a moment of these two felating each other would immediately skip me straight to the dry heaves. 🤢

A listener in Ohio wants to know if they ever shared a child on Epstein island.

Will the interview be full-throated?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The real question is: are they going to take turns or will this be a 69 situation?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Will it be delayed, so they can crop?

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Seems desperate; can't wait

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Elon is just saying "yeah" to everything. 😂

E: Boy Elon doesn't understand shit about economics. E2: Elon's problem with CO2 is that at some point it will get uncomfortable to breathe. Somewhere around 1000 would be bad. It's not like the house is on fire. 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

Every day he outs himself as more of an insufferable dumbass. These two were made for each other.

Can't wait to not watch this.

Is this a campaign finance violation?

This could be cringeworthy.

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It could also be chargeworthy. I'd say there's at least a notable chance someone conffeses to something when you two corrupt criminal egomaniacs with invincibility complexes together live

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

No could about it.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Is it just gonna be a video of them 69ing?

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My money says it's scripted/pre recorded. No way they let the goblin do his thing when they own the platform

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Never underestimate two extremely stupid people.

And if Trump wants to go off-script, no one can stop him. That's been proven repeatedly.
