"interesting times," too, but then I remember that my parents and grandparents lived through the Depression and 2 World Wars and the rise of Hitler. Great+ grandparents lived through the Civil War. Pick your "interesting times." Yes, it sucks.

Every decade has bee "Interesting".

I'm just trying to figure out how I ended up stranded in a universe so bizarre, it's not parallel, it's perpendicular.

Interdimensional travellers marvel at it but don't like to visit this one - even the ones where Earth's crust didn't solidify are less terrifying than the one where Trump becomes President (and there are only three out of the 50 Quadrillion they have examined.- In the other two, he was removed from office in 2016 and 2018).
