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.

The convicted and imprisoned former movie mogul is in the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward for “the myriad of health conditions that he is still afflicted with,” a representative said.

Convicted and imprisoned former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized for a “myriad of health conditions” and has tested positive for Covid-19 and double pneumonia, a representative said.

Weinstein was taken to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, his representative and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said.

New York Corrections Department records also show that Weinstein, 72, is at Bellevue.

Reintroduce the Quokka!

The world needs more happiness.

You are welcome. I don't like most of you mammals, but you Quokkas are okay by this squid.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thoughts on the slow loris?

slow loris

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does this dude look happy to you?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe he’s just in need of squid love.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That is the spirit animal of derp

[–] Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

I did not! And that picture of the rat is very cute!

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

That is legitimately a more important subject.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aw nice hopefully they can get established

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, indeed. In addition to being downright adorable, they're also able to utilize a very invasive species of weed for both food and shelter while also reducing its spread.

[–] superminerJG@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That plant is basically covered in spikes; it's a huge upgrade to their huts' defences over what they used before

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 82 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Honestly that's just awful, and I think any reasonable person can feel a moment of empathy and agree. The hospitals shouldn't be forced to waste time and resources on him.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

But if he dies, his sentence ends.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie 🤣 👌

Please tell me that double pneumonia hurts twice as bad as regular pneumonia

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 years ago

that means that changes are detected in both lungs

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope every breath hurts, until he's dragged to hell.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 3 points 2 years ago

I've had pneumonia before. I can assure you that the breathing and coughing is not remotely pleasant.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Been there. Nearly died from it. It's horrible. I would totally wish it on many others, including Weinstein.

[–] Avenging5@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

he obviously orders 2 of everything

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

I feel sorry for Covid. It’s got a case of Weinstein.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Make him better. I want him to die in prison of old age. In fact, let him live to 120. In a cell.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Edit: Nevermind. Glad, in this case, I was partially uninformed. A conviction was overturned, but he was still convicted in a second state.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

His New York conviction was overturned. He's appealing the L.A. conviction.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Why was it overturned?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago
[–] bzarb8ni@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm sure we can all agree and wish him a speedy demise?

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 8 points 2 years ago

I was honestly waiting to hear about him getting shanked in prison.

And painful.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 11 points 2 years ago

I hope it is a slow and agonizing death.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

As long as he doesn't get a compassionate release I don't care.

[–] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Disappointment is seeing 25 people beat you to the punch to say, Good!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

May he get everything he deserves.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Will they get a little fake walker for each of his lungs?

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well, isn't this something.

[–] BuckWylde@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Get rekt, idiot

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Hope he is suffering.
