 For what it's worth, though Wikipedia currently describes Overton as a "political scientist," that is likely to shift soon. (That is to say, unless someone makes a compelling case on the Talk page, I'm going to change his description to "political activist," which I think is more accurate to someone who never had a political science degree, never had academic employment, and worked as an electrical engineer before working at an activist think tank.)

		+	i thought both years had increased by five every change but looking at it again, that isn't true. like at all. there's no actual consistency. so the 2023 claim was wrong, yeah. however the part of it that points out that the comic implies that overton has risen from the dead since the last time the window moved still stands [[Special:Contributions/147.219.84.214\|147.219.84.214]] 13:24, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
