What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media posts
Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply
If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

It's still Pluto.
It's been nearly 20 years. Give it up.
What for? Some're still milking 9/11 a decade+ after a blue ribbon heifer'd be dead from it. Pick your pointless yarp and preach it. No one gets out alive, so get to livin', friend. 😜
I do remember back when it was called Planet X. It had more intrigue.
Don't cry, Pluto, I'm not a planet either.
This new "planet", more than anything I've yet heard in my lifetime, convinces me that life is fundamentally not fair. :-P
His calculations suggested the body would be on a much greater tilt than the solar system’s plane and would orbit in a different direction from the known planets.
So almost certainly not a planet. But it sounds like it's something.
There's no reason a planet couldn't have a very high inclination.
Yep, but it hasn't been observed in our star system and everything we have observed so far implies it to be very unlikely. It would be very exciting if it were so; it'd immediately become my new fav planet.
In other words, a retrograde orbit.
