News subforum.

I was wondering if we could add a news subforum for news articles and such matters pertaining climate change, AI, or politics?

Not sure if the politics subforum serves this role, but was hoping a separate forum might be created to serve this purpose.

Let's start with something light from everyone's favorite news source.

The current affairs in "politics and current affairs" is news. Why not start a news headlines discussion there? Then everyone can just post their headlines and discuss them in one place (which seems a good idea). If we start a category on the other hand then we're expecting a separate conversation based on each headline, which would I think would encourage a lazy attitude to OPs and a proliferation of very short discussions clogging up the homepage.

Seems fair. I was hoping we can prefaced a topic with something like:

[News] Donald Trump Resigns

I think you get the idea?

Yeah, sure. Better to have them all in one place anyhow.

I'll leave it to you to decide on the implementation.

Thanks!

Do you want me to start the discussion or would you like to?

No, it should be official. So, go ahead.

Thanks.
