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 formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost 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] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

The gun was an old Mauser 30.06 bolt action, about the last thing a gun ban would restrict.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Was I wrong? I read Mauser somewhere in the intial reports. In any case, 30.06 is a fucking cannon of a shell, whatever rifle it comes out of. :)
