I have no problem with reality falsifying my beliefs but I really don’t like my fiction rotation cache being invalidated by new historical moods.
I don’t think I can enjoy Yes, Prime Minister or The Simpsons ever again. Even Hitchhiker’s Guide is under threat now.

Hard to laugh at a vanished political milieu.
