A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

you know, you gotta give the Bush government credit, it took at least a little longer for everyone to go "There weren't any nukes, there wasn't any imminent threat, this is stupid" than it did this time. somehow, Dubya and literally Satan wearing a Cheney suit managed to be more competent and discreet about pushing bullshit narratives on the American public than the Cheeto.

Think about that for a minute.

These clowns make Junior and Cheney's excursion into the sandbox look like a masterful, well-executed plan.

Also holy shit, if this is the bullshit they're feeding us now, wait until things get ~~really bad~~ even worse. Once they get their all-encompassing official state media it's gonna get wackier and wackier reading the news.
