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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Did Russia also hire juche necromancers?

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Materially, does it make any difference whether he is dead or whether he is alive in Russia, but not doing anything to retake the country? Glad he's alive, if only because I don't want the enemy to have that win of crashing his plane, but it doesn't make the situation any less doomer

Maybe someone will have one hell of a "so I went to my optometrist yesterday..." story after their appointment at The Lion of DaMoscow Eyecare.

"so I went to my optometrist yesterday..."

Extremely pedantic correction: Dr. Assad is an ophthalmologist, not an optometrist. He's qualified to perform surgery and prescribe medication, in addition to general eye care.

He's still waiting on his license for that! vivian-shrug
