What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

OK, those 3rd world religious nutjobs sure do their own impression of a religion of peace, love and understanding... Same shit, different assholes. Also maddens and saddens me in 2025.

There's still a lot to be mad and sad about, probably even in 2026. Don't forget to feel peace and happiness from time to time, or it will eat you alive.
