My theory is there were three distinct events that built up to this tear in the fabric of reality: the below, in summer 2015; David Bowie’s death at the start of 2016; and the Cubs’ championship.
I was jazzed for this change at first, because the UK release date was Friday and I was envious they had things for a whole weekend before the US; I didn’t realize how much I’d miss seeing the same nerds Tuesday evening and how much music would compete with my attentions over the weekend.
Tuesday is a suckass day of the week. Like everyone hates Monday, obvs, but Tuesday is barely any closer to the weekend. New music day gave it something great and they took it away from it.
Haha, I was wondering why the new Cure album came out yesterday and not a Tuesday. I am old and obviously haven’t been paying enough attention to new albums for a decade.
Nah, it was turning on the Hadron collider. Then the markets collapsed, the Tea Party formed and that morphed into Trumpism and here we are. The Cubs winning in ‘16 was just a sigil of the alternate timeline, not a cause.
In 'Back to the Future 2', when Marty McFly goes forward in time to 2015 ‼️ , the Chicago Cubs had just won the World Series. Incredulous. 😍 The film was just one year out from their victory!
Also Trump copycat-Biff initially did quite well in that film because of time travel...
Really sorry about this, I had no idea what kind of ramifications I was looking at when I cast that spell. Here's hoping my work with the Dodgers doesn't breach containment.
This is what happened. Exactly what I was thinking with the split screen of World Series and election results. I also had a concussion that night and was actually confused about whether any of it was real.

2002 was a long time ago. Mid term but still…

Then I shed tears for my daughter who was born in 2001 for such a scary turn of events.
Somehow in my brain, these did not happen within a week of each other.
David Bowie died, and without him to hold it all together? Everything (mostly) goes swirly.

He was our Anchor Being.
I fear what this will do to the timeline.
