What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

MODERATORS
I just assume the world wasn't being fucked up fast enough for them so they voted in a Trump card, so to say. I so want to channel my inner Red (that 70s show) at them. Bunch of dumbasses, and even if they voted him in they can get him out of they truly wanted.
Also while listening to William Gibson's jackpot trilogy recently (think it's still unfinished) makes me keep thinking were in the run up start to the worst impacts. Mean. They voted in the guy who removed the team watching for viruses before COVID, then they again vote in the guy who's now causing an energy and economic crisis.....like it'd be nice if they didn't vote in someone that doesn't actively fuck up the entire fucking world again. Thankfully they're kneecapping themselves now but unsure how much it'll matter.
Guess the oligarchy will be happy for this to pick the bones of what is left while they live rich.
If you haven't read the novels let's just say it doesn't turn out well for the average person though it's not involved with the book plots. I do recommend them though if you enjoy sci Fi.
