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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

@gravitas_deficiency @skhayfa A lot of Texans believe Jesus will save them. Can't wait to see how that plays out. Maybe we'll get to see a modern Plague of Justinian. Only it'll be the Plague of Paxton or some other asshole in power who defends this idiocy for their own selfish short-term political gain. (Part of me, though, suspects that Paxton is just trying to avoid prison at this point. Much like Cheeto Bandito.)
