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.

Don’t stand near an open window…
Pass on the afternoon tea...
Don't take an airplane....
Surely, you can’t be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue
Don't touch anything anywhere.
Their window technology is on par with the rest of their technologies.
Lose their life? Comrade, of course not. You have been listening to too much Ukrainian propaganda. Now please come sit with me and enjoy a drink. This new stuff is to die for.
When one door closes another window opens 🤣
That's what you get for copying someone else's homework without looking at it first.
You see what happened here is they are assumed that everybody else agrees with their interpretation of reality (that Crimea belongs to Russia). Obviously that's insane, considering they're the ones with the dictatorship, but you know logic isn't really their strong point.
So no one actually bothered to look at the image, which was literally the bare minimum amount of work they could have done.
For completeness' sake, it also shows the recently annexed oblasts (Kherson, Zaporozhija, Donetsk, Luhansk) as Ukrainian.
Probably because they used an old jpeg. This isn't news.
What, that don't own a sharpie?
Borders don't change just because you draw them in differently. You're thinking about hurricanes.
Heads will roll...
It's gonna be so weird how many of them manage to fall out of windows, or die in freak plane crashes. Gonna be like some final destination shit.
In these moments it’s windows that suffer the most. Think of their panes.
Nice one!
That song is like, a guilty pleasure of mine
This is a fuck-up, not a statement. Though we can laugh of them, it doesn't really do anything.
Someone might have a date with a window though, and that's always funny.
Well that settles it, Russia. The rules say you have to go home and start a new invasion. Be sure to pick up any mines you may have left.
Happy little accidents like this usually don't just happen.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Russian Embassy in South Africa has shared a map online that shows illegally annexed Crimea as part of Ukraine.
A post on the embassy's account on X, formerly known as Twitter, attempted to raise the profile of the BRICS grouping of world economies but appeared instead to endorse Crimea as being part of Ukraine.
While BRICS refers specifically to the economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, the map posted on the embassy's account also included Ethiopia, Argentina, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Iran shaded in green, along with the five BRICS members.
Since being published early on Monday, August 28, the post has attracted more than 292,000 views as well as a number mocking comments.
Mira of Kyiv, who shared a photo of Crimea being part of Ukraine, posted: "So you agree."
The regions of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhizhia were annexed into the Russian Federation last year following referendums that were condemned by the United Nations, and have only been recognized by North Korea.
The original article contains 399 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Is brave sir Putin bravely running away?
It's just adorable how they think they're a superpower...
