Oh good. A split on the American left. I am sure the Republicans are terrified about THAT happening!

When you stand on Lego, it is satisfying to yell "Fuck Lego", even though Lego cannot hear you.

Duuuh. It means Brexit.

So three quarters of the whole series?

It will be 2001.
No 9/11>> No Iraq War (at least no British involvement) >> Blair gets a couple more years as PM >>> Labour not destroyed in elections >>>> No Tory promise for a referendum >>>> No Brexit >>>>> No Trump

Statistically speaking, it has seen more "notable" deaths than usual, but that seems to be a case of more people becoming famous about 50 years ago than before. The BBC show More or Less did a good segment on it.

And as a bonus, the amount of sea he can use his boat on will on be getting bigger!

For years after a Hard Brexit, any bad news can be blamed on foreigners. And the British press is fucking good at that.

Ahhh yeah. I was wrong. Trilogy came from Season 5

No.. not the evil leapers. This was a separate trilogy.

It came from an interesting time in the shows history. Penultimate series, and they were playing around with the form in some pretty cool ways. This was part of a trilogy where he lept into various characters related to one another at various times.

Sorkin suffered from Robert Jordan Syndrome.

Sorkin in general is quite a shallow thinker. It shows up, surprisingly, a lot in The West Wing where people often "win" a policy argument by pointing out that a single fact in the opponent's argument is wrong. So, Ainsley beats Sam in their first meeting not because she has a better grasp of the overall argument than…

Sorry. Too soon.

This riddle about who is playing first base in the baseball game is interesting to me. I come from Iowa or somewhere like that, so it is entirely new to me.
