Right, so we're pondering on adding new nexuses to the site for the next upgrade (planned for December but could end up being later depending on circumstances). Why bother adding new nexuses? Primarily so you can easily filter them out from your settings page. For example, say we had added a Games nexus. Not interested in gaming? Preferences->Homepage and put a dot in the far left (X) radio button next to Games and you will not see anything from the Games nexus on the main page. Mind you, we don't have nexus functionality built into the rss/atom feeds, yet, so they'll still show up there.
Keep in mind you can also browse nexuses independently, so you catch stories only from that nexus. Independent rss/atom feeds are coming sooner or later as well. Nexuses aren't entirely about what you don't want to see.
As of now we've got Games and Liberty on the table as new nexuses to go with Breaking News and Meta. Including more or less duplicating some Topics, what nexuses would you lot like to see go live? Last note here, any nexus we create will be fair game to sub stories in that category for. Don't suggest sports unless you want to give the green flag to subs on NASCAR.

It's a plot. The intelligentsia, duped by the puppetmasters of global capital, are suppressing the revolutionary potential of the lumpenproletariat by denying them even the exposure of discussion, let alone equal space to air their grievances. Chomsky is the modern counterpart to Marx, who analytically proves the intellectual cowardice and savagery of the methods of the ownership class as they go about their brutally extractive abuse of the international worker. In the Middle East the brothers and sisters of sweat and exhaustion are still distracted by the old lies of religion, as Marx outlined with the help of Engels, but in the capitalopressor castles of Europe and North America, where the new robber barons blind the masses with fairy tales about democracy, human rights and soft socialism while weeping crocodile tears about having to pay taxes, rather than, as they realise all too well, swinging from every lamppost while the crows peck out their eyes, they have created a fresh breed of lickspittles they foster with promises of opulence. These running dog bootlickers conspire, however clumsily and with a childish petulance, to silence your every word regardless of how loudly you declaim the truth we all know viscerally to be an uneradicable manifestation of the human condition. Fear not, the inevitable march of history will consign them to the slaughterhouse of history, and you will ultimately be vindicated once their tissue-thin lies are revealed, though your heroic stand may only bear fruit after you, too, have fallen to be memorialised by the workers' flag of blood red.
Forward, the Revolution, Comrades!
