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!

I work in events and this is a wild oversight.

There was actually a ramp available according to the article. They just didn't bother with setting it up and excused themselves by saying they didn't think she wanted one.

Can't make this shit up.

That's almost worse?! Total amateur hour!

Obviously she just wanted to drag herself onto the stage with her fingertips, like a dying Terminator.

I bent the rules a little and used the headline the BBC used on Instagram 🤭

It's restricted in Canada. What was it?

Just joking about the headline change :)

Can web search “Instagram downloader” which is nice for avoiding Meta servers no matter where you live! Or influencing your recommendation history before you know whether you like a video.
