Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

All Harvey has to do is run for president as a republican. All charges will be dismissed instantly or at the least case will be delayed indefinitely.

I was going to say, this guy has presidential nominee written all over him.

Loathsome, misogynistic convicted felon? Yeah, about right, though at 72 he's a bit young.

If there is a merciful God, then may Harvey Weinstein live to be 91.

Or should his sentence be extended, then may he live until then. And may his cognitive abilities remain sharp as a tack.

No no no, I want him to be as able-bodied as an average man his age. If his body is his prison, then that's something outside of his control.

I want him trapped in a cell built by his choices.

I see your point but for a man who imposed his choices on others and robbed them of theirs I'd like him to experience helplessness. And I don't think it's fair to ask the other inmates or guards to do that for us, further brutalizing their own souls.

Of course, he's already mentally locked in to the "I'm the only victim here" mindset. Nothing will change that, so I guess all we can do is keep him out of the lives of the survivors.

We want Dogma back! Let him die and maybe the asshole to whom it goes to will sell to Kevin Smith and we can have it back.
