Someday there'll be a documentary about this, and by necessity it'll be a musical. So the good news is, there's an incredibly awkward Oscars ceremony to look forward to.

Don't engage him, he's got his own little reality going on over there.

Have you tried mapping all the other causes of death?

Also, you're comparing two disparate stretches of time leading up to the same endpoint. That seems like bad practice.

I'm also not seeing where the wapo link you provided gives data on the party affiliation of the people who were shot. Is that data just a reflection of the location, then?

I'm not a data scientist, but this feels very pegboards-and-strings-across-the-room kind of scenario.

Well, if their existence is so boring or unchallenging that my life provides them with entertainment, I guess I don't mind that much. The weeks I spent teaching myself to juggle should be particularly enthralling. (No spoilers.)

On the other hand, if you in the future (yes you! I see you!) find my life that fascinating, feel free to use some of that technology to either bring me back to life, or reach back in time and bring me there.

No, really. This timeline sucks. Someone come get me.
