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.

Local butcher says someone chopped up this cow and put it into nice little convenient paper packages with a bit of twine for the low, low price of $6/lb
No shit Sherlock
WHAT?!
I say we wait for more information to come out before we jump to conclusions
In what world is “What?” a conclusion?
What?
If you think about it, this really is the best way for him to get out of the spotlight for the coup attempt.
Plane crashed, everything is burnt to shit, some official list says he was on it, some poor blokes remains get buried, and he moves on living under a different name
They also confurmed it with DNA. Then again, a bottle of vodka to the right person, and the DNA test says the bloke who got buried was mr. Pringles.
no one escapes ~~Stalin~~ Putin
This headline made me snort my gin and tonic out my nose.
“We kinda…maybe sorta killed him”
Planes are so unreliable nowadays

This is the best summary I could come up with:
MOSCOW, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that investigators were considering the possibility that the plane carrying mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was downed on purpose, the first explicit acknowledgement that he may have been assassinated.
The plane crashed exactly two months since Prigozhin took control of the southern city of Rostov in late June, the opening salvo of a mutiny which shook the foundations of President Vladimir Putin's Russia.
Russia has informed Brazil's aircraft investigation authority that it will not probe the crash of the Brazilian-made Embraer (EMBR3.SA) jet under international rules "at the moment", the Brazilian agency told Reuters.
The day after the crash, Putin sent his condolences to the families of those killed and said he had known Prigozhin for a very long time, since the chaotic years of the early 1990s.
The Kremlin has rejected as an "absolute lie" the suggestion by some Western politicians and commentators - for which they have not provided evidence - that Putin ordered Prigozhin to be killed in revenge.
Followers of Prigozhin laid flowers, messages and poetry at his grave on Wednesday, hailing him as a fearless warrior.
The original article contains 594 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Im shocked, shocked! Well not that shocked.
Try it like this: 
Better yet, like this for accessibility:
In other words "we did a poor job trying to convince the whole world it was an accident"
I think they're trying to pass it off as a terrorist attack.
Those damn Ukrainian terrorists. I think at some point Russia needs to think about a military operation against them.
I mean, it was a terrorist attack. Its just that in this case, the terrorists are the ones doing all the talking and investigating.
If you type it like this you can imbed: 
Although it looks like your link goes to a page, rather than directly to the file. The link for that is https://media.tenor.com/sLU0qs_Oa30AAAAd/patrick-star.gif so we can imbed with that as

We can blame Kony again, says the Kremlin.
