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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...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!

Kinda the same in the US. I'm literally a circus performer in NY. You know what capitalists hate more than anything else? Weird circus people with more passion than money who embrace diversity and deviants
In my corner, a massive corporation is trying to get approval to build a casino on historic Coney Island. The company (Thor Equities) previously bought two disjoint historical blocks and let the buildings rot until they had to be demolished for safety reasons. Their plan has them taking over two more and engulfing our historic theater, a Sideshow museum, bumper cars, and a small music venue. Our theater is also home to the nonprofit that hosts all the cool events there. None of it matters to capitalists.
Do you know if there's a way to help from a world away?
