Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

The original article was stub. Here's the beginning of the article right now.

Sen. John Fetterman was hospitalized in Pittsburgh after a fall during an early morning walk near his home in Braddock, his office said Thursday. A spokesperson said he suffered a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that left him light-headed before he fell and sustained minor facial injuries, and he is staying for observation while doctors adjust his medication.

The full statement from Sen. Fetterman’s spokesperson posted to X:

During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”

There's filler and then they quoted him whining.

Along with his health concerns, Speaking to CNN's Dana Bash on Wednesday, Fetterman said the left have wished for his death on the social media platform Bluesky while the right have called him names. Fetterman said his digital team had found that Bluesky was the "harshest" social media platform. "The difference is, the right would say rough things and some names I won't repeat on TV," he said, "but on the left, it was like they want me to die or that 'we're cheering for your next stroke.'"

He added that left-wing figures also share messages wishing he would die. "That's much different from just calling me a name," he said. "That's really been consistent in that community online."

I know it won't happen but I'm going to pretend that I have a chance to update the title of this post to "John Fetterman is dead." But if he kicks it on the weekend - that's still okay.

If you're interested in a lot of rank (and grossly uninformed?) speculation about the technical details about what happened - "atrial fibrillation" versus "ventricular fibrillation" etc. - this is the thread for you...

Libs vs leftists

Libs: "What happened? We want to know all the medical details."

Us: "Why can't the fucker just die already?"

This took everything I had in me to tip the scales of probability and this is the best I could do. I will state that your current crop of Nephilim lack the gravitas of the ones from my day.

Gilgamesh he is not.
