Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I posted the following - I dunno when. A couple weeks ago? It was gallows humor post for obvious reasons. In any case - I couldn't get it out of my mind for about four days. Then I forgot about it. I didn't even remember it. I saw it in a Bluesky thread.

I wonder how much more time of gallows humor we have until sheer terror arrives. Months?

I think it's - cough - safe to say we are reaching the c/news + c/doomer singularity where a lot of news is both.

On the bright side, it'll probably take out a lot ghouls as they declare it a hoax... On the not so bright side, many of us might not get the chance to see them choke on their liquefied lungs.

I make a promise to you comrades, so long as I'm still kicking, I'll post crabs for every notable pig that the Birdger flu takes out.

Reminder to mask, both for COVID and for this when it inevitably gets human-human transmission.

Don’t suppose it’s too late to just F off to China?

It’s already bad enough burgerland decided they’ll just have to live with covid forever since they just couldn’t be bothered to forgo treats for such an occasion.

Carnists are absolutely shocked by completely predictable result of torturing and murdering billions of animals in pits of shit and blood.
