For everyone …
I’ll point out that another thread was recently created as a companion to the Ukraine war breaking news thread. As we all know, the mods keep that one pretty close to just cites and a quick comment or two. This other thread is intended to be a place where we can explore timely topics in more detail without ending up with 25 Ukraine threads on 25 minor topics.
This thread we’re in here is great for what it is and is certainly well-established, but if you (any you) have ideas to discuss triggered off current events, that other thread is probably a decent place for them.
