It's 1986. You've built a limited but working time machine. Every week, it materializes a small slip of paper with a news headline from 2026.
You arrange a meeting with a millionaire who might be able to help you exploit your source of future information. She looks skeptical, but you ask her to be patient while you warm up the machine. Presently, a bit of paper materializes from nowhere. The millionaire is impressed.
You hand her the slip, wondering what wisdom it will impart. The outcome of a major sporting event? An election result? The name of a successful company that doesn't yet exist?
But the millionaire's expression changes to a scowl. She lets the slip flutter to the floor as she leaves your apartment without another word.
You retrieve the slip and read the headline that your machine has produced.
Quadruple amputee cornhole professional jailed on murder charges
Witnesses said that Dayton James Webber fatally shot a man during an argument in a car, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.

@mjd ? That looks dramatically more plausible than pretty much anything that mentions "President Donald Trump".

@mjd This sounds like what happens when your third wish from a genie is “a Time Machine that gives news from the future”

@rst “Bafflingly stupid Middle East conflict continues to no apparent purpose” is evergreen though.
