Che_Donkey , in Local Newspapers Are Vanishing. How Should We Remember Them?

My local newspaper I actually delivered (poorly) for a summer, was the first paper that published Gary Larson’s ‘The Far Side’. Other than that…zippo

Eh, it’s easy not to remember them too fondly when your local market is so dinkum that the only option was nationally syndicated trash masquerading as a local rag. Maybe there’s somewhere left in America that’s still a Norman Rockwell picture of idyllic rural charm and integrity where Real Intrepid Reporters get the hard hitting scoop in between writing heartfelt human interest stories about beloved 101 year old grandmothers and their puppies. But that sure as fuck ain’t what happens here. My “local” paper is actually a Gannett product, and aside from whatever they just import from AP and regurgitate verbatim, every actually vaguely local article is chock-a-block full of factual inaccuracies and trash journalism. Their copy editing is crap, too. Some of the stuff that makes it to print looks like it was written by an eighth grader. They charge money for this shit. I won’t be too sad to see it go, if it did.

atetulo ,

we have no real alternatives.

Local news reporting has migrated to social media.

If something is happening in your area, someone may be talking about it online.

protovack , in New California law aims to force people with mental illness or addiction to get help

the part where smarmy lemmy posters recoil but people with actual drug addiction experience think “hey, yea thats a good idea”. did you guys know there’s a reason you aren’t in charge?

Franzia , in 'Top secret' Hamas documents show that terrorists intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center | NBC News
danhakimi OP ,

I am not subscribed to that community, I'm based on kbin, I saw this elsewhere.

Franzia ,

Oh, fair enough. I conflated “News” and “World News” to be the same community.

Dkarma , in Local Newspapers Are Vanishing. How Should We Remember Them?

Remember them as the stories you should have or did see on Lemmy last week.

azenyr , in DOJ sues eBay for selling ‘rolling coal’ devices; fines could hit $2 billion

Even as a car guy and a pro-ICE cars, I agree 100% with this. These rolling coal trucks are just cringe, and literally a waste of fuel. I can’t say I care about the climate but I also hate the ones who fuck the climate as much as 50x the amount a normal human does, on purpose just because “fuck the climate”.

StenSaksTapir ,

Just out of curiosity, what makes you not care about the climate? Is it some sort of fatalistic “we got 20 good years left, so might as well enjoy them” kinda deal?

corvid ,

You sound like a terrible person.

Burnt ,

You don’t seem that great either tho.

xc2215x , in The NHL bans Pride Tape, setting off a backlash from players and fans

Older fans like the decision. The players and the younger fans do not.

ruford1976 OP , in UttarPradesh: Stalkers push teen in front of train; she loses legs, hand

Excrept from article.

“She had told us about being followed by the two on her way to coaching and we had also filed a complaint with the area police station a month ago… But no action was taken. We had also contacted the family members of the two persons and told them about how she was being pestered by them. For a few days, they did not follow her but started to do so in the past week,”

ruford1976 OP , in UttarPradesh: Stalkers push teen in front of train; she loses legs, hand

Is it okay if i share news from my state here?

the world news instance was not kind to sharing news from uttar pradesh

Mr_Blott ,

Please do. Makes a change from the yanks posting about folk nobody has heard of!

tallwookie , in New California law raises minimum wage to $25 for California health care workers

just means that understaffing will be the new normal

Starkstruck , in Blue checks aren't protecting sex workers from X's porn crackdown

Tumblr users fled to Twitter after the porn ban, now Twitter is making the same mistake.

tallwookie ,

is it a mistake? why cant sex workers create their own platform? too much work?

archiotterpup ,

Yes. They’re not developers for a reason.

Oh yeah, give it to me, ohh, ohhhh, OHHH YEAH

Wait why the hell does it still say ‘critical error at line 5176’ HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THIS SHIT?! It was so much easier when I just boned people.

SheeEttin ,

Semicolon.

Sharkwellington ,

They prefer to be fucked over at work in a different way.

emax_gomax ,

This is such a bizarre point. Why does anyone try to use existing services when they can just make their own. Go dig a well for water and build your own dam for hydroelectric power.

Rooty ,

Deplatforming is bad when one of left’s sacred cows gets targeted.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you, due to passing your purity test of being both on the right and against deplatforming are saying you now disagree with Musk’s interpretation of free speech and are now denouncing him due to his deplatforming of sex workers. Right?

Rooty ,

I really don’t care about either of them, I find it funny how the argument “free speech only applies to the government” goes flying out the window when somebody we like gets booted of a privately owned platform. And criticising certain parts of leftist rhetoric does not automatically make me a right winger

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We?

soulfirethewolf ,

I think the problem with that is banks and companies like MasterCard blocking payments to sex work

duckCityComplex , in Democrats refuse to help GOP out of House speaker mess, trashing Jim Jordan as an 'insurrectionist'

At the risk of sounding like a hopeless optimist… Wouldn’t it make sense for the Republicans to nominate more of a centrist with promises to work on common ground with the Democrats (whatever narrow terrain that may consist of now) and thereby sideline the MAGA crew to irrelevancy?

Yeah they would take a lot of heat from Trump & co., but maybe they could actually pass something for their constituents.

mrcleanup ,

On the one hand, yes, but the Republicans made it so any one person can call for a vote to oust the speaker, so it only takes one unhappy rep to restart the cycle.

So I think the current plan is to just sit back and let the American people see that the current batch of Republican reps has as much ability to work together as a bag of weasels until the Republicans are willing to actually admit that they fucked up and ask for help fixing it.

So this could take a year to resolve.

leds ,

But wouldn’t a moderate speaker supported by the majority from both parties easily survive a vote like that?

mrcleanup ,

I’m sure we will find out. It sounds good in theory, but I’m not sure how many true moderates may be left. We seem to be in a “compromise is weakness stage”

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Their “moderates” were the anti-Trumpers.

They got primaried and voted out.

S_204 , in Israel Gaza live news: Children among dead after strike hits Palestinian convoy - BBC News

Reminder Hamas lied to Gazans and told them the warnings from Israel were fake.

Hamas NEEDS human shields for the pr.

This is the pr. The blood of those people are on Hamas’ hands. They don’t care about civilian life.

Israel is not going to stop until Hamas has been eliminated. Hamas is going to kill as many civilians as they possibly can to delay that from happening.

clearleaf ,

Israel bombed the exit while people were trying to leave and they bombed a civilian convoy while people were trying to leave. They also bombed ambulances that were helping people who got bombed while trying to leave. If Hamas’s claim was that Israel would bomb people trying to leave, then that turned out to be the truth and the warnings from Israel really were fake.

S_204 ,

The ambulance they bombed was stolen from the kibbutz in Israel. That’s more Hamas propaganda.

Can you link me to a verified source on the bombing of the convoy? Haven’t seen anything other than Al Jazeera which obviously isn’t reliable in this situation.

clearleaf ,

What are sources that you do trust?

S_204 ,

I’m looking for sources that aren’t actively funded by supporters of the conflict. Al Jazeera, jpost et al aren’t helpful right now.

shunir ,

So no sources, just “trust me bro”?

S_204 ,

Did you read this chain or are you just fucking retarded?

He made the claim, I’M THE ONE asking for a reputable source, pointing out that Al Jazeera and their like aren’t reliable.

Give me some AP, or even the fucking BBC and I’ll engage. Otherwise, bro go get fucked and learn how to read.

shunir ,

First things first. Seems like my comment chain got messed up and I answered you, but whatever.

Next one, GTFO with your ad hominem bro.

Lastly here’s a BBC link. Is that good enough?

S_204 ,

Ad hominem? You’re an idiot who’s just going around picking fights responding to the wrong comments.

Secondly your source isnt bad so thanks for finding but in terms of validity I’m holding out for verification… when there’s reputable information indicating Hamas did this themselves now coming out. Which considering their demonstrated lack of regard for human life wouldn’t be surprising once it’s confirmed.

ft.com/…/95c5fcf1-c756-415f-85b8-1e4bbff24736

You can go back to arguing with whoever else you’re arguing with. I’m blocking your dumbass, no need to waste time with morons.
