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. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
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. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Incompetence all around.
How was he convicted with no actual evidence linking him to the crime? Just a, misspelled, username.
Wtf are you doing up there Canada?
That was batshit crazy. His username was a universal phrase from the game. But they had possession of his device.
They weren't incompetent, they just didn't want to continue looking for a perp
Wtf? I think it's past time to lay, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." It may be malice and incompetence, but it's been malice for a really long time. Maybe since the thought was formulated.

Clue
Honestly I have come to the opposite conclusion. If someone harms me I assume malice. I'm right more often than not.
The whe premise of being generous and assuming it's just a whoopsie is naive at best and suicidal at worst.
I want to caution, here. I was speaking of governments, not individual people, where that can hold true, but not necessarily is true. Certainly in societies that set the system to a zero sum game, it's more likely to be true, but there are still really good people in the world. And we just can't know without some risk, and people still err. It's the human condition. Discernment is cultivated.
