Damn, he really focuses on important issues doesn't he
Oh nice he has the same calendar that the shops near me use!
How is this a better link? Its a different source but what makes the Guardian better?
Ground News lets you at least choose the outlet you read it from.
At least unlike most times this Guardian article is written by them and not just quoting the AP source like most other sites are doing.
The original link was popup city on mobile and only 1 short paragraph. I had to Google to find a reasonable summary
Fair enough! Never browsed Ground.News on mobile so did not know =)
The site you posted is damn near unreadable on my phone.
The future fucking sucks. I hate the enshittification of the internet.
I thought you were exaggerating, but it's a literal nightmare on mobile.
I use ground news too, it's fantastic for getting worldwide news.
Well, I usually pick a source with high factually and post it here, since I figured it was more of an aggregator than a source. I also thought it being subscription based makes it hard for users that don't have the app and/or account.
You could add a "found on ground news" in the body or comments.
Absolute horror on mobile
Thanks maduro, now I can finally dress as an xmas tree for Halloween!!! Fucking idiot dictators.
angry datetime developer noises
Lmao wat
You dropped a T.

No Christmas tree? Straight to jail!
Christmas tree too big? Also jail.
Christmas ball colors reminding USA too much? Double jail
C'mon, guys! Maduro totally knows what he's doing! He even talked to Jesus and Christ is all cool with celebrating his 2024th birthday 3 months early, it's totally not the dumbest, least effective smokescreen ever in recorded history!
I mean, Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, that's just a fact that the holiday was already moved to roughly the date of the winter solstice to usurp and syncretize pagan festivals.
Real weirdo move regardless.

dafuq?
Piece of shit authoritarian. What a useless and irritating gesture. You lost the election, time to go.
I want to see people to talk about the war in Christmas be happy with him.
Technically they should want to invade. Unless of course he means it goes for 3 months straight.
So he's finally decided to embrace retail capitalism?
The overall latitude and time maps are about to get crazy!
In the Communist future, the Hallmark channel runs Christmas movies in May. And the stores start decorating in August.
/s?
Because I'm pretty sure you just described the capitalist present.
