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.

Well, takes a moron to back a moron.

However, some critics took the moment to point out that Afroman had used the popularity of hits like “Lemon Pound Cake” to support Donald Trump. A photo of Afroman wearing that same American flag suit and shaking hands with Trump in 2024 began recirculating online, which some claimed served as a “milkshake duck” rapidly tanking his online popularity on the back of his win.

Well shit

Yes. But he rightfully won against this lawsuit.

Fuck I don't know which side to pick now.

His win is still a win for the people. I won’t support his music, but I’ll take the win against the cops.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

We be glad be beat the cop case and still condemn his trump support. Everything doesn't have to be black and white. We can be happy he's trolling cops without supporting his political views.

Thanks for the reminder.

Two things can be at the same time. Good for winning against some stupid cops, but also supporting a incoherent moron is also stupid.

“I don’t go to their house, kick down their doors, flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to play the victim and sue them.”

Damn fuckin right

That line was likely one of the biggest points on the jurors minds, and the reason it went the way it did.

The trial is one of the funniest things I've seen in a hot minute. So many ridiculous moments

Watching the cops listen to their personal diss tracks in full in court is fucking hilarious
