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.”

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!

"I'm sorry...that you were upset at what I said.
And I would never have said it...if I knew you'd make such a drama over my true thoughts about you all.
Going forward I will not say things like this out loud.
There, look, I've said the word sorry and everything."

If it was me I would have put Yokohama in the title. It's a city of 3.7 million people. That way it would be clear story is about a mayor of national importance.
