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.

Such a shame we lost ozzy.
RIP Julian LeFay, 59 is too young.
And RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner too. Been a rough week that we've lost three loved entertainers.
And also this asshole.
Chuck Mangione, such a shame.
Wait! What? That’s actually a big bummer. It Feels so ~Good~ Bad.
At least he was old. Malcolm should have had a couple more decades.
He has a young kid too
True, I have the feeling that he will leave a hole that's hard to fill.
Unlike Bulk Mulligan of whatever his name was.
Abomination McGraw?
Dump Vogon
Well, I don’t know if he had the mental capacity to keep up with the goings-on in the world. He is very much known to be off his rocker from all the drugs.
Dude fuck off. Ozzy loved everyone
Wasn’t Ozzy a royalist? I know Sharon was.
Followed him my entire life and I think he always tried to do the right thing but brain was fried
Sharon sucks
Tbf so are lots of Brits in the passive sense.
In England and Wales, the leading cause of death in 2022 was dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to the Office for National Statistics. Specifically, they accounted for 65,967 deaths, or 11.5% of all deaths registered that year. This is a change from the previous years when COVID-19 was the leading cause of death.
So fried brains?
Who cares. Many brits are in a passive, cultural sense, the same way non-christians celebrate Christmas.
lol comparing Christmas to royalism. Christmas has completely detached from Christianity at this point. Being a royalist means you are okay with funneling money to people based on heredity rather than merit. Also, Christmas doesn't affect society in such a way that it costs anyone money that doesn't celebrate it.
There are materials you can use to research Earth traditions, I recommend it if you plan on continuing to try to blend in with human society.
yeah but you missed the crucial part of the statement:
Sorry, I was going to start giving you actual figures about how much money changes hands for our regular traditions and cultural events across the world, but realized if you're willing to die on this hill you're a typical internetist where it is critically important that you call out someone's mildly problematic behavior or history while we lose literally everything we value in society due to rampant fascism resurging and the idolization of actual monsters, and you think that by making a stand on this one slippery-slope that you're going to do anything but turn people away from the very notion of being anti-royalist.
Just by engaging with this bullshit it will drive some infinitesimal point up on some algorithm and some Ozzy fan somewhere will read "LIBS CANCEL DEAD ROCK LEGEND FOR NOT BEING WOKE" and all you will have done is make more people angry at the wrong thing at the wrong time.
And since I know you skimmed that and didn't read it, let me give you the tl:dr: you're blocked.
