autotldr Bot , to world in Saint Dwynwen's Day: The story of Wales' Valentine's Day

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Legend has it, she had an arranged marriage gone wrong, a frozen man to deal with and ended up as an agony aunt.

Brecon girl Dwynwen, one of 36 daughters of an Irish king, fell in love with Maelon Dyfodrull from north Wales.

Dwynwen settled down after all that drama (worse than Love Island) in a convent in Anglesey, Llanddwyn church.

Just to finish Dwynwen’s weird fortune in love, according to folklore, a sacred fish swam by the church, predicting the future relationships of couples with its movements.

And many people still visit the scenic Llanddwyn church, as part of the Anglesey Coastal Path.

Mr Browne, 34, added that he hopes to celebrate St Dwynwen’s day with his wife and visit the church again.

“We want to ensure the good people of the UK that the unthinkable notion of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy. And never will be,” the embassy said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Getting ahead of a diplomatic crisis. Good idea.

autotldr Bot , to world in OneFour: How drill music trailblazers have divided Australia

This is the best summary I could come up with:


They are the undisputed faces of Australian drill music - a subversive style of hip-hop that tells unfiltered stories of crime, poverty and social dislocation by people who have lived it.

Their songs have accrued more than 150 million streams and focus on their experiences growing up in Mount Druitt, a Sydney suburb which has long been the subject of stories about struggle and unemployment, not art.

A years-long campaign to block OneFour from performing has followed, leading to the cancellation of a national tour, repeated raids on the artists’ homes, and pressure on streaming services to shun their tracks.

More recently, the UK’s Metropolitan Police has blamed London’s drill scene for fuelling gang crime, and requested the removal of hundreds of music videos from social media.

Director Gabriel Gasparinatos says OneFour’s raw talent first drew him in, but it was police efforts to “shut them down” and the competing narratives about what the group represented that kept his camera rolling.

There’s also a stigma around a place like Mount Druitt - maybe people wanted to avoid promoting that version of this country, but it’s a far more accurate depiction of Australia today than the surfy, sun-kissed lifestyle we market."

Chickenstalker , to world in Moment vibrating phones alerted UN to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

To be fair, ambassadors are often the last person to be told about going to war by their own leaders.

Droechai ,

Their jobs are way easier to perform when they don’t know they are lying about their country’s intentions, no need to mask or any personal morality qualms

So things would’ve somehow been better if the ambassador knew ahead of time?

Edit: not sure if you deleted your comment or what but you still won today’s wrongest take so far.

For godsake. That copy used to sit on my childhood bookshelf but got lost in a move somewhere along the line.

Odelay42 ,

Similar or same? Original cover art doesn’t necessarily mean first edition.

IamSparticles ,

Yeah, they still print editions with the original cover art. My elementary school library had a copy with the same cover, but it was printed in the 70s, around the time the Rankin Bass animated film came out and created a new surge of popularity.

autotldr Bot , to technology in Misinformation spreads in China on ‘civil war’ in Texas

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Amid the escalating border standoff between Texas and the White House over illegal immigration, misinformation has spread in China that the Lone Star state has officially declared war to secede from the US.

Popular Chinese outlets have been suggesting that events in Texas have led to deep divisions in the US widening to a point where unrest has become a stark reality.

More than 6.3m migrants have crossed into the US illegally since the beginning of 2021 - record highs that have intensified a standoff between President Joe Biden and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

As part of his Operation Lone Star, Mr Abbott has sought to block or deter entry into his state, including by installing about 30 miles (48km) of razor wire barriers along the city of Eagle Pass.

A Voice of America journalist Wenhao, who specialises in Chinese online disinformation, posted on X that the “biggest US related news on China’s internet for the past few days is Texas governor declaring war with the federal government, which did not happen in reality”.

Social media users in China on Friday, for example, were able to read reports that Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis is sending up to 1,000 members of the National Guard to Texas.
