The Time Spine
The grift is not a news cycle. The same plays repeat across a century — so the whole archive is filed on one clock. Drag through it.
Each entry sits at the year its story starts, not the year we published it. A piece covering a span is filed at its opening date, so the rail reads as history rather than as our publishing schedule. The ticks show where the archive is dense and where it is still thin.
