Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. 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.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

everything i hear about this guy has been against my will

still alive

obama-sad

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 11 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I watched the video of some trans women looksmaxxmogging him the other day and it was funny, but I generally just feel bad for the guy. He had no joy, no amusement, no ability to appreciate the absurdity of the whole encounter. He just looks miserable. I don't follow him much but what glimpses I've caught portray deep misery . I'm sure he's a terrible person but it's still pretty unsettling to behold

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 5 points 11 hours ago

Yeah his Adam Friedland interview was depressing.

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

My theory is that claviculars a deeply depressed repper who's coping with gender dysphoria by trying to embrace every aspect of masculinity as much as possible in the hope that that'll make the dysphoria disappear

Hopefully this'll wake her up to that and cause her to go offline and have a good transition

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Even if he (I am not going to misgender him as a joke) isn't secretly trans, he clearly suffers from severe body dysmorphia that he feels compelled to inflict onto other people. Reminds me of a twink Zyzz, but at least Zyzz liked to joke around, dance, and look like an idiot.

Hopefully he gets some counseling and stops being such an insufferable dick.

"repper"?

I also was thinking yesterday that I suspect it too! Here's hoping that she gets to undergo the " most depressed dead-inside man to vibrant happy woman pipeline" sooner than later

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Short for "repressor" as in someone who represses their gender dysphoria through any means other than transitioning

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 9 points 12 hours ago

Embedded video autplays with sound knifecat

Clavicular said in a post on X. "All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn't a real solution."

gone woke

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 28 points 18 hours ago

Its called Dosemaxxing

[–] RION@hexbear.net 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I saw the clip of him stopping an interview after a question about associating with Andrew Tate and it was actually pitiful. Like I felt bad for this guy despite his whole schtick because of just how awkward he was. I might've ended up like him if I tried to rep with looksmaxxing

Now I'm looksmaxxing as part of my transition trans-specter

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

i hope he uses this as a chance to like reconsider himself, bcs like guys in his circle were calling it an aura loss and grifting their streams off his near-death experience

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 25 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Clavicular brutally dosemogged by GHB drug leader

[–] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

timmy-pray When he gets off the bed he's just gonna start smashing himself in the face with a hammer again lol

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh, it's that guy

[–] Noodles4dinner@hexbear.net 27 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

TIL Clavicular, Candace Owens and Adam Friedland all share the same PR agent.

[–] Noodles4dinner@hexbear.net 19 points 18 hours ago

Candace: So i want you to help me promote my transvestigation of Brigitte Macron

Clavicular: i need you to make me appear to be interesting and as some sort of generational moral hazard

Adam: I want to interview character actor Richard Kind.

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 16 points 19 hours ago

They're calling it the most awkward blunt rotation of all time

[–] dead@hexbear.net 32 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

It's a drug overdose. Very likely not a meth overdose. I saw rumors on reddit that he was overdosed on GHB. There's a video of him passing out and falling asleep. His "friends" keep telling him to take an adderall to wake him up and then he gets carried away to a hospital.

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 16 points 18 hours ago

I really really really do not like the idea that a guy like that has a stash of GHB.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 13 points 18 hours ago

honk shoo mimimi

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 20 points 18 hours ago

Cool. Let me know when he dies.

the boy is sterile at 25 or however young he is, he's not long for this world if he keeps this up

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 12 points 17 hours ago

He's gonna pass out in his cybertrvck while it rolls into a lake at 22.

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

he just turned 20 recently

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

oh come on, really?? catgirl-huh he honestly looks like he's thirty

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 19 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

he honestly looks like he's thirty

Well duh, he's looksmaxxing

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 10 points 16 hours ago
