news
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 URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

No love lost for NPR but PBS is a kick in the teeth. The kids programming is excellent, diverse, and most importantly safe, and my kids enjoy it immensely. You can turn a kid loose to watch PBS kids in a way you can't with private services or god forbid YouTube. It was also one of the only free sources of streaming entertainment for low income folks who rely on this content more than anyone.
In the grand scheme of empire horrors my kid not being able to watch Molly of Denali is not that big of a deal, but for sure is one I will feel personally. But that pales in comparison to the impact on indigenous kids in Alaska who will lose perhaps their only instance of representation.
Shit sucks.
Not to mention the loss of funding for local public radio stations that are the only source of critical information in many rural areas.
What a cruel and evil place this is.
