Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oooh I'm panicking! Panicking soo soo much 😴!
Maybe I'll make some pancakes to get in the right mood? What do you think?
Panicakes?
French: Le pain-cake
Yes! Can I haz pancakes too?
It would have been ridiculous to think this a decade ago, but if Trump gets a second term, China might actually be the better diplomatic and trade partner for the EU...
Was gonna say, it's the first I heard of it.
So it must be a really YUGE panic over here.
Imagine being that stupid. Or that much of a Russian stooge. Or both.
The panic should be on the U.S. side of the Atlantic. Because that would crash our economy.
Herbert Hoover was an economic genius who could do no wrong.
So uh… this is how he reacts when Bloomberg specifically calls him out on his bullshit in an interview?
Fascinating. He’s going to turn off all the big money donors with this shit. He’s essentially proposing to crater the US (and by extension, the world) economy.
A UK rag riffing on relations between the US and EU. There's nothing for the EU to panic at.
This is just rage bait; ignore.
*Huh I was wrong, there is a trade deficit with the EU. What the hell does the US buy from EU?
**Top 3 goods that the EU imports from the US:
Natural gas
Petroleum oils and crude
Medicinal and pharmaceutical products
Top 3 goods that the EU exports to the US:
Medicinal and pharmaceutical products
Medicines
Motor cars and motor vehicles

Cars, and wegovy/all those weight loss drugs, also many of the main covid vaccines.
Novo nordisk has been a massive windfall for Denmark.
So the top exports are: medicines and medicines. Got it
That's kinda misleading because those are all commodities, at least broadly speaking. You can get that stuff anywhere.
The actual nuclear option is denying the yanks all those products that hidden champions produce, that you can't get anywhere else, where the situation is very one-sided.
Last time around though it sufficed to do targeted sanctions, seemingly nonsensical stuff like motor cycles and peanut products. See you have a look at where Trump's backers have their electoral districts, what they produce and let's just say Harley-Davidson still hasn't recovered and the peanut butter I buy in the supermarket down the street is still from the Netherlands. They switched suppliers back in the days and apparently saw no reason to switch back.
fuck express.co.uk
how do I report this shit? accept tracking or pay? how about you suck my dick?
Build a wall around the US. We’ll pay, the amount of stupidity leaking out is problematic. (Apologies to the sensible and nice people that live there)
Would that be a ... paywall?
Isn't it enough just to cut under sea telecom cables, piss off Elon and make other satellite tech expensive af.
It's the Express, so you can safely ignore it.

Tom Hunt, if you're reading this, I've just done your job for the next year.
Trump and all those who vote for him are aware that China is one of the most important sales markets for the EU, right?
Putin still has time to polonium him.
Why would you kill your star employee?
So you can spread word that the democrats killed him and start a civil war.
Sure, why not, I have no plans this weekend.
Well the dollar was a good currency while it lasted.
