Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Macklemore has always meant well. I remember when he won the Grammy for best rap album, he was apologizing because he knew he only got it because he was white. Kendrick Lamar was the very obvious choice. His music is pretty hit or miss, but he seems like an alright dude
This bit right here, his understanding of his place and what it improperly awarded him, is exactly why Macklemore is maybe one of five Amerikan whites I exempt from my lambasting of crackers and their works
who are the other 4
Dolly Parton, Marshall Mathers, Lady Gaga, and John Darnielle.
All names here subject to disfellowship if they act up; I've only recently started coming around to the fact that maybe I was too hard on Marshall, and that he wasn't the Elvis-assed snake I read him as for years.
Dolly Parton is on my shitlist for the dixie stampede
...Why the hell does she run a restaurant chain now what the hell
Please tell me the only mark against Stevie Nicks was interpersonal ish with other members of Fleetwood Mac.
dolly parton is worth $650M
