Yes, this is real.
Edit: I’m not just asking for world news, but internet culture and fediverse stuff, too.
- Donald Trump has been exposed as an Epstein pedo
- this happened because the government didn’t redact properly on the files. Accidental or on purpose, who knows.
- UK boxer Anthony Joshua almost died in a car accident in Nigeria. 2 people with him died.
Social media news that I know of
- Elon Musk’s “grok” AI makes CSAM now. There really isn’t much more nuance to it than that. It has the ability to make underwear deepfakes of anyone you ask it to.
- Despite knowing this, he hasn’t shut it down, and just seems to find it funny
- the UK government is discussing banning X in the country because of this.
Global events
- Donald Trump took over Venezuela? He kidnapped Maduro, who is now sitting trial in New York.
- He wants to have Greenland now. Has discussed bribing them into joining the USA.
- Iran seems to be having a revolution. Might have beeb incited, in part, by American and Israeli operatives.
- and in Israel Palestine news:
spoiler
Israel has been using drones that play sounds of women screaming and flying them over refugee camps in Gaza and Palestine. Just to psychologically torture survivors.
This has made me realise how little news I actually pay attention to
Good list, but I think there are a few things to add/modify:
- Trump hasn’t just discussed bribing Greenlanders, he’s also repeatedly floated the idea of taking it by force.
- the US is recalling non-essential staff from its embassies in Israel and Lebanon, fueling speculation that Israel is about to attack Iran. (IMO this might unfortunately put a damper on that revolution you mentioned.)
- In Minnesota, ICE murdered a white woman who was a citizen and bystander (not protestor) and who was just trying to obey ICE’s instruction to leave. This has caused not only massive protests but also relatively strong condemnation of ICE by the state government, bringing the US even closer to civil war.

I can’t believe i forgot that one. Biggest story IMO, has been on my mind ever since i read about it
Run
God damn I envy you.

Not enough fire.
Miss? You won - and now you want to ruin that.
Please go back to being isolated. You’re not missing much. Your sanity and mental health matters.
Why the fuck did you come back?
man…if I could, I would.
Weird activity with brand new accounts posting comics that reach the front page, like 20 posts within 24 hours and 0 comments… feels kinda bot like…
The internet is dying…
Fear not. The Internet was born outside of corporate greed and outside of state control. It can’t really survive under their control, its suffocating. Let it die. Later, it will be re-born outside of their reach, in another form and another place. And for a moment at least, once again, it will be a free place. Amazing and scary and naughty at the same time, but free.
Only if hardware remains both free and available. Both are under heavy assault lately
That is a beautiful image.

Corn. You’ll thank me later
It’s been a crazy week in meatspace, particularly in the western hemisphere, but here on lemmy it’s been fine all things considering. No new characters have really sprung up or anything
You won’t believe it, Buffy Fish is owl of the year.
Yeah…about that. You’re gonna want to sit down first.
You made a mistake coming back. Enjoy your solitude.
