First thread, welcome to the Current Affairs club!

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't really have anything to say, I just wanted to post a thread.

What is this place? What did I stumble into?

I like the "clubs," but am wondering how the heck do I find it?  Is there quicklink somewhere from the Forum homepage?  Do I have to 'Follow' to know if there are new posts?

For now ... they are kind of buried in the menu ... the hamburger menu in the upper right, then browse content, then clubs. Once there, click on the club you want (right now it's only the one club), that takes you to the club overview page, where you will see most recent activity. But the black bar menu at the top ... 'Overview', 'Politics and Human Rights, 'Non-political world events/crises' ... those are the forums ... Overview, I already said, the other two, click on one of those, and start a discussion thread or join one already in progress. Right now there is only one discussion thread in each forum ... because, well ... we're new and people haven't started them up yet. In time, if this goes well, we can move discussion topics over ... I did that for the other forum here ... you may recognize the Coronavirus thread from the Sports Bar

Also, as an open club, anyone can join. And any one of us can also invite people to join. It's not a closed club where it requires an invitation to join or you have to ask for permission to join, but you do have to physically join and agree to 'rules'. For now we just put some fast and easy rules together, we may refine those going on, or remove them going on ... mostly want to test the waters with allowing politics again

FYI I don’t see these clubs at all on mobile.

What do you mean, "don't see"? Can't find in the menu or the page is blank?

Never mind I’m a dummy that didn’t click the right button. Now I found it

No dummies allowed in the club, sorry. There's the door.

One current event I’m intrigued in, and I’m sure @Squirrelis too, is testing out large crowds at live music venues across Europe. 
 

A concert with 5,000 attendees not socially distancing in Barcelona late in March went well. Last week in Britain they hosted 3,000 people indoors without masks. Let’s hope for positive results! 
 

These are all tests conducted by Events Research Programme in the UK. Whose objective is to get us back in large groups safely.

If you want to have a specific discussion, start a thread. There is also the covid thread in the other forum in this club

If the test fails, a bunch of ravers croak. win, win.

Well, not really music related but in other news there were 30k plus fans in Sun Trust (Truist) Stadium in Atlanta the other night. Looked like old times on television

There is not nearly enough hot taking going on.
