On Oct. 4, 2020, the Ringsssss website published an article positing that actor Dustin Diamond, best known for his role as Samuel Screech Powers in the TV series Saved by the Bell, had been killed in a prison riot: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: Ringssss is a fabricated satirical newspaper and comedy website. Ringsssss uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Diamond passed away from cancer on Feb. 1, 2021. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
