Any hurricane that comes by surprise will be nuked, not to worry.
Maybe a nuke filled with black sharpies.
I gues we shouldn't have made fun of moron for thinking Georgia was Alabama. Disrupting climate change tracking is just an added bonus for super petty grudge holder. Prosecutorial immunity for elected officials was a terrible mistake.
If you don't know about the hurricane it can't hurt you.
This is beyond terrible.
For fucks sake, can this admin get any fucking dumber?
It's like people don't like surprises anymore.
mmm. comment about real estate prices in florida or on how presidential markers will be the new forecast. so many options.
...In USA.
Man there should be separate community for USA news. Or at least a flair.
I'm sick of their news appearing everywhere. Technology, economy, health... all these communities usually have USA specific news on top.
I live in the US and I'm sick of us being in the news as well. But the fact is that the fall of America is big news.
Cool. Give us only broad strokes. No need to hear about every nitty-gritty like Big Balls leaving DOGE or anything.
That's absolutely fair.
Use !world@lemmy.world rather than !news@lemmy.world if you don't want US-specific news. That's specifically what that community was created for (as well as its predecessor on Reddit, /r/worldnews...which eventually forked into /r/animetiddies due to Reddit drama, but that's another story).
EDIT: Also, I was gonna say "if you want more news from elsewhere, you could also submit it", but I see that a significant chunk of your recent submissions were...on US politics, so...
Did you miss the part about other communities as well?
