news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

dude was springing him from the can to take him to a barbecue lmao
This reads like one of those "dangerous weapons confiscated" the PDs put up on X.
I stabbed myself with a BBQ fork once and it wasn't even that bad
I say this as someone who once got shot with a crossbow
What did Daryl from the walking dead miss a zombie and hit you?
His name was Greg and he was drunk
Pulled a classic "Hey, check this out" and nailed me right on the collarbone
Fuckin' hurt
Ouchies...did you have to go to the hospital?
Oh yeah, had to get stitches because the bolt hit the bone, glanced off and tore a big gash across my front shoulder region
Went to the ER, gave them a fake name and address and snuck out without paying
Hid it from my family until it healed and never hung out with Greg again
It sounds a lot more impressive than it was
I literally was told to walk down the hallway to the billing desk and I just didn't stop
"Free medical care with this one simple trick!"
Hospitals hate him!
Watch how this millennial (idk) is singlehandedly destroying the healthcare business empire
You would be correct
Smooth Criminal
Oh no the humanity, won't anyone think of the precious healthcare ceos and their crusade to paywall life saving care
Did that with a therapist I hated once, never went back
Homie I owe my last therapist like $700 but he was a dick about me leaving him so lol good luck getting that money. I paid off one therapist that got sent to collections, so when it ultimately goes there, its net 0
Hell yeah
You are an Elder Scrolls playable character.
I do be walking around, eating cheese and stealing stuff
I wonder if they noticed like 10 minutes later "hey, shouldn't we have seen that one person with the crossbow injury stop by here?" or if they were just so disorganized that no one ever noticed.
I've been in hospitals where I'm pretty sure they'd have caught me before I reached the door, and in other hospitals that I don't think they would ever notice
It was actually a fairly busy night at the hospital
Had the fortune to be injured the day there was a big fight at Summerfest
Plan your next hospital visit during shift change and they'll never even know
It's finally time.
is based now.
Zomboid ass loot drop
Not enough butter knives
You attach the bbq fork to the pizza wheel and you've got yourself a hook and handle to zip line to safety and comfort
