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, 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.

What! Holy shit, finally. This is great news

Mamdani getting things done yet again.

NYC mayors and city councils have been 'trying' to do this for decades. Mamdani steps in and actually fucking gets it done.

So, switch to mules?

She has driven a carriage in Manhattan's most famous park, pulled by her horses, for six years. But since Lawson heard about the city's vote this week to outlaw the carriages over animal and public-safety concerns, she has been worried.

"What am I supposed to do with my horse?" asked the 28-year-old about her current horse, Starlight. "You're going to tell me I can't work with her anymore? How am I supposed to ensure ~~her health~~ my bank account balance?"

FTFY

Yeah, right? Unless she's commuting several hours a day with a horse trailer, that thing permanently lives in gutted out apartment or small warehouse. It hasn't had grass under its hoofs ever and it barely gets to see it because of the blinders. So healthy. Probably can't run well or for far because it just doesn't know open space and roam.

I hope they send them all to a farm where they'll run around all day and be happy. But actually. A real farm. It could happen that way.

The union also raised concerns about a lack of funding for individuals and organisations who eventually take in the horses. It argued that thousands end up at slaughter auctions each year.

The bill forbids selling horses for slaughter or for similar work. Carriage owners would be allowed to keep their horses if they choose, said Menin.

I hope they all have healthy happy golden years.

Thousands of horses would not end up at slaughter every year if they were not bred to be exploited.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

I understand the reasoning but using blinders seems too cruel to me

You know what they say about dating a horse girl? You will always be third place behind their horses and their daddy's money.

You know what they say about dating a horse girl?

In my experience:

  • "She's not real."
  • "My Little Pony isn't for people your age."
  • "You need to start looking for a job."
  • "Applejack and Princess Luna aren't your waifus."
  • "Listen, we know about the jar."

I remember going to NYC and thinking "where do the horses go when not working?". I could Google it. I'm sure it's close to the 1900s

[–] techmaster7d@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Use a better search like Duckduckgo or bing, googol sucks and was never any good.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

i wonder if they clean up if the horse poop on the roads, and horse have very loose bowels.

[–] Obviouslywrong@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

They always have bags behind them.
