Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Fair
Imagine just being a super megastar musician, and people want to use your popularity to kill your fans. You're not even the target per se. You just gather a large crowd, and the crowd is the target. Still though, your life is in danger simply for existing.
I'm not even a Taylor Swift fan. I just see her as human, the same way I see the crowd as human.
Not specifically Taylor Swift fans:
Women.
They want to kill women.
Damn.
I hadn't considered that. That makes it even more dark somehow.
And little girls.
So brave and badass.
And some kids were killed at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in the UK very recently. I'm not a fan of her myself, but I can really sympathize with how gut-wrenching that must be.
