Chapter 1: The Tempest

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

Logger
(stylized as logger) is an American microblogging and social networking website that launched on June 13, 2010. Since March 2014, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft. The site has 250 million monthly active users as of August 2021, mostly concentrated within North America, Europe, Japan, and Argentina. It is the 5th-most visited site in the United States, and is often credited as one of the Big Three technology startups that started the Connectivity Revolution.

First advertised as a "neoforum," the site's content is split between groups (moderated communities broadly similar to a subforum) and trees (organically created groupings of messages and posts discussing the same topic). Users can also opt to post to their timeline, which effectively acts as a global community. Submissions and posts can either be liked or boosted to be more prominent.

So a mixture of Reddit and Facebook?

Yikes… terrifyingly plausible and insanely well done! I’m absolutely stunned at the quality of this timeline, and how frightening such a simple scenario is!
 
I have been following this thread for some time. I'm loving how great the worldbuilding is with those well-done fictional websites like Logger and news posts. Keep it up.

Who/what is the ‘Cole’ mentioned here in the California V. Cole case?
James M. Cole, Attorney General of the United States. California (supported by some other states) claimed that the convention did not strictly follow the procedures set by the Congressional resolution calling for a convention of the states. The Supreme Court disagreed.

I think one of the most interesting parts of this timeline is seeing how politics change as a result of the scenario, and all the wacky things that happen when political norms are completely thrown out the window. California suing a Democrat Attorney General is certainly a good example lol
