What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

9% are undecided. The other 6% are edgelords.
The ocean is solid. F***ers keep walking back to land.
I'm smack dab in the middle of the US and I don't want to be part of it, currently.
Given your username, are you planning on exiting the country?
The thought often crosses my mind, but it is far too difficult.
Why so? Genuinely curious. The US passport is the most reputable passport out there. And if you're under 26, many countries will just accept you staying there for a year or two until you find a job.
That should put an end to the conversation.
If it doesn't, we can with certainty dismiss all pretense of "inviting Greenland to be a state" and recognize that Trump is just undeterred in threatening invasion and exploitation of NATO territory. Likely with a dash of tyranny to keep the locals in line.
Nobody has ever wanted to join the USA. They've all had their land stolen, natives genocided/enslaved, etc.
Funny, >85% of Americans don't either. 🥲🤣😭😶😶🌫️
