What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.


Rules

5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

I will believe it if you can link me to it, otherwise I am quite certain nobody "outed" you as a Russian operative with the sole piece of evidence being that you claim to be against genocide.

Don't be shocked if he loses thanks to this

That you haven't shows you're either not in the comment sections over in .world (good, tbh) or not remembering it, cuz it's def there.
