Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The speaker at my college graduation was convicted of fraud a few years later. I can't decide which is worse, that guy telling us what a great businessman he was, or an AI speaker.

Kidding, but holy shit Kate giving a commencement would be amazing.

Our pacifist, agnostic campus had a southern Baptist commencement speaker desperately invoking the parallels of graduation to a higher power and lauding our nation's military invasion of Iraq. How in the actual fuck did the admin greenlight that one. Strangest ending to 4 years ever.

As long as the alumni fund gets its share, it's all good.
