Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You reckon they delayed the episode about Kirk to thrash something else together so they could release that instead?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

IIRC, they’re insanely fast. I think the turnaround time on a South Park episode is about one week, which is utterly ridiculous.

I don’t know if that Kirk episode will ever see the light of day, or if they’ll make any jokes about Kirk at all, especially while the Cheeto is in power. He’s repeatedly shown that he’s not afraid to abuse his authority.

I don't know if they are still at a week turn around. They've already had a select few weeks pass where there was no new episode. It's a good chance they just didn't have it ready.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This season they've specifically said they're on a biweekly release schedule. And then there was last week, which i still suspect they had an episode ready and it was denied.

I wonder if they meant twice a month. Kinda of like how getting paid twice a months still means two months with three pay checks.

They did an episode about Kirk not too long before he was shot and it already aired.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was legitimately expecting a followup with Cartman doing his Kirk act getting shot in the neck, but alas.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 6 months ago

Stan: "OMG! They killed Cartman!"

Kyle (Unenthusiastically): "You bastards..."

Was that S27E04?

I guess I got the wrong end of the stick for 05 being delayed?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It was 2 or 3. 4 was the Labubu one.

Kirk wasn't portrayed himself; instead Clyde and Cartman were both parodying him as "Masterdebaters."

Ahhh yeah that one.

I'm not American so I didn't get the Kirk reference.

Thought it was on about the loud bald one
