A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

...the Will County Gazette is an imposter site, lacks transparency, and publishes false information. As a result, we rate them right-center, biased, and Questionable.

Yeah I mean accusing one of these dudes of covering up some pedo ring Is like saying that water wets stuff..
I wonder if it is like character creation in an RPG, 5 minutes to elect a new pope and then the rest of the time is time they need to think of a name.
I always try to imagine the process of deciding, and it's hard to take it seriously.
"Carnidal Donatello has done some great work for the church, and the nuns really like him."
"Yes, sure, I agree with you there. However, I think that Mortimer has been much closer to God. I saw him the other day -- Mortimer, that is, not God -- and I swear he was radiating with light."
"Mortimer truly does radiate with light, but that may have been due to his proximity to the CNPP back in '86, and might explain his extra appendages.... You've certainly been quiet through these deliberations, Marco. What are your thoughts on the matter?"
"Me? Oh. Well.. I kind of like Bill."
I thought the last one was American. This one's north American?
That could also be mexican/canadian. USian if you want to be precise :D
Pope Bob.
There is some meaning in the name he chose. Most popes choose a name of a pontiff which values they share. Pope Leo 13 was a pope that was very concerned with workers rights:
Pope Leo (XIII) outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism. With that encyclical, he became popularly titled as the "Social Pope" and the "Pope of the Workers",
I can't wait to see how this first American pontiff will put this moral policy towards the Christians of his native country (and others' for that matter).
Certainly as the president who, just recently, imagined himself fit to be pope, sees him as a natural ally as he only thinks that way himself. I curious how Leo XIV will handle that situation, it will be one of the biggest tests of his pontificate.
People are really overlooking that he’s 69 and nice.
He has a past:

Ok, so maybe not nice.

Well, that's Gaza well and truly fucked
If you think electing an anti Zionist pope would change anything you have not been paying attention.
