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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Brand get ready to learn Hebrew buddy.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 51 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Least shocking revelation ever. That guy always struck me as a creep.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, wasn't admitting to SA a huge part of his stand-up routine?

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

We get it you r-ape

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 38 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It's always the ones you most suspect innit

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So that's why he made a right wing shift

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A shame really as he had good left content back before he switched to conspiracy and brainworms grifter.

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't know... He always struck me as one of those hippies whose only in it to get laid.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

one of those hippies whose only in it to get laid.

100000%. I gather OldSoulHippie here traveled in the same or very similar circles around the same time as me growing up and we have seen soooooooooo many of these guys. I caught that vibe from him the first time I ever saw him speak. The dude just oozes sleaze.

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup. Most likely. I went to my first hippie music festival in 2006 and my last contact with "the scene" was 2023 at a Dead and Company show. I've seen some wild shit. I've had a lot of great times too, but there are so many scumbags that dress the part, have a nice face and enough earthy platitudes to lure young girls into thinking they're so spiritual and wise. The movers and shakers of the jamband/festival world are for the most part absolute scumbags. The weird hippie capitalism that came up around what could have been a great place to mint leftists is really something to behold

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Dead and Company

There is like a 50% chance you have been in a crowd with my mom lmao.

[–] Sulv@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

Birds of a feather

[–] edge@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That describes my thoughts perfectly, I really thought this happened years ago

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is a headline from The Onion from 2023 lmao

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

wow.. so on point

[–] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago (2 children)

LOL, I really ate an onion this morning because I saw this post on /r/TrueAnon saying he was moving to israel, and I thought that was the news.

This photo was taken on February 16 2025. RFK is appointed as Secretary of HHS and Oz is appointed as the admin of Medicare and Medicaid.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can't tell of that's Tom Hanks squinting and Ron Paul with too much sunburn or RFK and some other guy.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's the snake-oil salesman Mehmet Oz of The Dr Oz Show, spinoff from The Oprah Winfrey Show. Oz ran as republican in the Pennsylvania Senate race and lost to Fetterman. Yesterday Oz was confirmed by the Senate as the new Administrator of Medicare and Medicaid.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

It's kind of lazy writing to name your sham witchdoctor "Oz" and have him just be the Wizard of Oz verbatim in a modern setting.

Like maybe an allusion or something? Sure. But this heavy handed? Bruh. It's like having a character named Benedict Wang Jingwei Arnold and they betray the protagonist.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] git@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Sure, done.

What we actually need are post tags so users can filter these posts out of their feed before seeing them regardless of the title.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

I was sittin here feeling bad that I thought this guy just looked like a sexual predator. Imagine my relief when everyone else apparently thought the same thing.

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago

i've never been more shocked that something didn't happen sooner

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

"I've never engaged in non-consensual activity."

Yeah, he’s consented to every sexual encounter that he’s forced on someone else.

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who still refers to exiting the vampire castle as worthy of anything more than being used as toilet paper should be handled with utmost suspicion.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

exiting the vampire castle

i have no idea what that is and i'm not looking it up

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Mark Fisher whining about woke. Its a reference point to the worst kind of "leftists" you could imagine

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I liked Fisher's Capitalist Realism but never read any of his other works, always kind of bummed me out how he killed himself.

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah stupidpol types are always going on about how "the evil wokes" drove him to do it.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Le username is epicly checking out!

[–] christian@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Correct approach, it's the only way to browse this website. We're all in this together.

[–] Gointhefridge@lemm.ee 17 points 3 days ago

Shocked pikachu face.

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Watch him go back to being a leftist in jail for some reason

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago
