    Good news: no Bell riots.

    Bad news: we are officially living in the Bad Timeline.

      It’s a casualty of the Temporal Cold War.

      We received information from another timeline, but the present was changed to avoid it.

        And I’ll bet we no longer make the April 5, 2063 Vulcan flyby, meaning first contact will be delayed, and humanity will never form Starfleet and we’ll be powerless to stop all the other terrible things from happening in the galaxy. Gene Roddenberry was a temporal terrorist after all.

      who says this isn’t just a bootstrap paradox? Maybe this timeline needs to advance to 2371 so that the Bell Riot could happen today?

      Timeline’s gotten screwy with the Temporal Cold War. Nothing’s happening when it’s supposed to anymore.

    The Bell Riots would have happened if Biden stayed in the race, and we were looking at Trump/Vance being in charge for four years. Biden changed the timeline.

    But it’s still only 8/31! /s 🤦‍♂️

    PS: too bad there isn’t yet the concept of user flairs. Mine could be a calendar or broken clock (or clown).
