This is a sad day for 35 year old photographers who try and fuck 18 year old club girls
A sad day for liberal Elmo (cw: Cum Town)
The only thing that will give him catharsis is reporting more children to the cops for doodling on the sidewalk with chalk without permission. May the lord have mercy on the kids of Williamsburg.
I’m completely checked out, Elmo
Classic bit
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I hope they can do one final article with a name like "We dropped NSA grade research chemicals with Yair Netenyahu at a Hindutva psytrance warehouse rave" or some nonsense, y'know, for closure.
Here is a List of Alphabet Agencies We Took Money From and What They Told Us to Publish"
Honestly would make a great retrospective
Once upon a time I was the full stack developer and the sysadmin—so the entire tech staff—for an online magazine. But somehow Vice can’t handle running its own site anymore?
I think its funny that the guy who founded Vice got replaced with the person who turned A&E into the duck dynasty network, after which she totally tanked the company, and they then replaced her with two guys who were both in senior executive positions as the company kept shooting itself in the foot. I have no sympathy for Shane Smith. The man is a billionaire and his company ethos went from "What if lame nepo baby punk sex pests could be journalists" to "What if tech guy sex pestd were journalists" without ever stopping being performative about the aesthetic. But it is funny that the company only functioned under his leadership when his main deal is forming deals to get vice funded by other people and going to third world countries to gawp.
Wasn't
from a Vice documentary?
Yes. The guy was a government official from one of the separatist Donbas regions. He was disillusioned with how corrupt or inefficient the new government is and how they weren’t respecting people’s demands and think they all would’ve been shot by the kind Vladimir Illych. I believe the guy’s name or moniker is also Lenin lol
believe the guy’s name or moniker is also Lenin lol
It's called "nom de guerre" dad, and it's a far superior concept to a "moniker"!
He’s so fucking bad at running a company.
The days of eating a tube of cbd lube counting as gonzo journalism are over
Waypoint was the only valuable thing they had, and they laid them off about a year ago.
Skill issue.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
