Objective, factual news you can rely on. Or at least as close to it as you can get in this day and age.

Rules

No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member. Egregious use of logical fallacies will be considered trolling and dealt with accordingly.

This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. “It’s just a joke” is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.

Please respect our community and don’t use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.

Posts can only be links to reputable news sources. Sources that are or at least try to be objective are the only ones allowed. Propaganda rags like Breitbart and RT are not allowed.

The only exception to this rule are meta posts discussing serious issues with the sub itself, and for those:

Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it’ll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.

Please for the love of all that is holy, don't argue with mods in the comments. If you have an issue, take it to DMs.

Rules subject to change based on need.

Six people were killed in the unprecedented wildfires that tore through the Hawaiian island of Maui overnight, authorities said.

The fires, fanned by strong winds from Hurricane Dora, destroyed businesses in the historic town of Lahaina, and left at least two dozen people injured, officials said at a press conference Wednesday. There have been 13 evacuations for three fires.

Rescuers with the US Coast Guard pulled a dozen people from the ocean water off Lahaina after they had dived in to escape smoke and flames. Burn patients have been flown to the island of Oahu, officials said.
