World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

I like it better broken. It's more abstract.
I am inclined to agree, but I wonder if it would be even better pieced back together.
I'd like it if it was fixed by means of Kintsugi
I agree. Maybe these two art smashers should just agree to collaborate.
So it's what, ceramic pipes with my grandma's dress pattern stenciled on it? NGL, that's sufficiently stupid to deserve a few whacks with a hammer. I mean hell, I'd never heard of the stupid thing until now, so arguably the defacer did this thing a favor.
ah yes, being able to survive being hit with a hammer, what everyone is looking for from art.
Surely the point of art is that it's intelligent and provokes thought what the hell does a cube do?
My point is you cannot assign value to something simply because someone claims to be an artist.
Consider this: I pick up a tennis racket and a tennis ball, so does my wife, we go to a tennis court, I hit the ball to her gently, she hits it back: Are we playing tennis or not?
If we are not, what are we doing?
And yet it's nowhere near the level of Serena Williams, or even the local semi Pro tournament, or probably even the local tennis club.
why does it have it be good, or more accurately for this conversation- why do you have to like it for it even to exist and have a name?
I dont particularly care for The Wiggles, or for Machine Gun Kelly, but both of them produce music. Just because I don't like it, or think it's not good doesn't mean it's not music. Even a child slowly, shakily playing a basic C major scale and getting it wrong is still "music." Its not Mozart but it still exists.
There is no "point" or "value" you can attach to tennis, music or sculpture - or other forms and media of art, entertainment, sport, science etc that means it suddenly becomes that. Art you don't like is still art.
