So I can post pictures of dead babies as long as it was posted to Twitter first? Got it.

If I wanted current events, I'd go to News

And if you wanted memes, you would go to memes community, what you are trying to communicate?

How the hell is this a meme?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture Memes (discrete units of knowledge, gossip, jokes and so on) are to culture what genes are to life. Just as biological evolution is driven by the survival of the fittest genes in the gene pool, cultural evolution may be driven by the most successful memes.—

They're communicating that the original post is not a meme, it is news.

Cool, what took them so long?

Cool. Where are they getting their long range missiles from? UK and US. UK is on board, US is pussying out. UK needs US permission. Germany isn't open to sending long range missiles to Ukraine either. So this is pure talk and nothing more.
