Satire is dead. I earnestly predict at least one more pick on this list proves actually true.

Quantum physics offers an alternative interpretation.

Meh, she's a dingbat and a narcissist, and while it's unfortunate that she screwed up so bad on her quest for attention that she became an internet byword for dumb blonde, narcissistic dingbat, take your choice, she was always a right-winger and a supporter of people of Vance's ilk, and so this is just another case of chickens coming home to shit on the roost.

A campaign setting based on a fantasy-skewed View Askewniverse would be fun as hell.

And this right here is why I don't do Xitter or Tumblr. Getting this worked up over esoteric personal details of C-list podcast hosts is just not worth my time or mental energy. I'm glad there are people like you to keep things straight like you did here, but my god, these keyboard warriors have way too much time on their hands.

Litigating a stranger's legal troubles isn't their job. There's literally a system for that already.

"Garak to Chief O'Brien. Our universal translator seems to be malfunctioning."

This I can absolutely believe. You really think the entrenched MICC is going to give him access?

I'd prevent the Challenger launch. Manned spaceflight doesn't get shelved for an entire generation, and a young me doesn't lose hope for the future at such an early age.

Through a bizarre series of butterfly effects, the successful launch and its international attention gives bureaucrats in Pripyat an extra nudge to encourage cooperation amongst their engineers and nuclear scientists, and a critical flaw in the operation of the plant at Chernobyl is caught before it causes a catastrophic meltdown.

The cumulative effect is a continued culture of progressive technological expansion into the 90s, and the fading of the anti-intellectualism that threatened to overtake the world during the Reagan and Thatcher administrations. Hand in hand with this is a decreased militarism, as technology is increasingly seen as a tool for the betterment of humanity, and less as a means of building better weapons.

One other immediate result is in the US presidential election of 1988. A lack of meaningful engagement with the public (no "skipped the surly bonds of earth" speech) led to increasing apathy toward the outgoing Reagan administration, giving G.H.W. Bush a tougher hill to climb, and less solid footing on the issue of defense. Dukakis doesn't feel the need to do a silly photo op in a tank, but instead campaigns partly on an expansion of the space program and educational outreach programs similar to the one that brought in Christa McAuliffe.

Neoconservatism and neoliberalism wither together on the vine. Permanent human presence in space continues uninterrupted for the next two decades, with a base on the moon by the end of the century and a manned mission to Mars planned for a decade after that.

No Bushes, no rise of Al-Qaeda in 1988, no Gulf War, no Rush Limbaugh, no Clinton's, and no 9/11.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but fanedits are that thing to me. No body will ever see them on any streaming service or in a DVD bin at the store. They're like treasures I can share only with other people who truly love movies as much as I do.

Also, I have the original special edition slip-case DVD of Dogma, which currently goes for as high as $19.95 on eBay!

Tbf, it was LA. People there are used to that kind of thing.

I'm guessing, because he's clearly a moron, that he doesn't realize that former presidents don't have pardoning power.
