Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Did somebody say Bell riots? I thought I heard Bell riots.
Star Trek future here we come, huzzah!
Don't forget we have to do the Eugenics Wars first as well...
I’m sure Mark Twain will rescue me from those
As well as World War III killing a double digit percentage of the world population.
Yay the end is near!
Don't forget the post-atomic horrors that follow.
But maybe I can live just long enough to meet porthos
YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER!
does a bump of government coke, dies
That was after they created the Sanctuary Districts in major cities, like San Francisco. We're still a bit away from that. They're leaving the homeless to roam.
That was last year. Check your calendar.
The eugenics wars happened in the 90's. Something shifted the timeline around.
Temporal Cold War
So we're in the Kelvin timeline? Ugh, well, okay, I guess.
No, that is not the same thing. The Kelvin Timeline exist due to Spock trying to prevent the destruction of Romulus from the nearby sun going supernova. The Temporal Cold War is different factions of the galaxy at war, messing with history.
The Temporal Cold War is from ENT.
That's only if you accept that it is a time travel split and not another alternate universe where the first captain of the Enterprise was Archer instead of April.
Archer was not the captain of the NCC-1701. They commanded the NX-01, a completely different ship.
