Dear Diary,
Today I used the Machine for the first and last time. Naturally, there was one time and place to which I felt compelled to travel: April 30, 1889 and Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary. Fortunately my lessons in spoken and written Deutsche were sufficient that I was able to find the birthing hospital and made my way to the nursery. I encountered a nurse who was naturally startled by my manner of dress, but otherwise pleasant and accommodating. Pointing to a bassinet, I asked, "Is this baby Adolf Hitler?" "Ja!" she answered. I made small talk as best I could and then excused myself to find a closet in which to wait until I could access the room without being witnessed by anyone. Some ten minutes later fortune smiled upon me, and I entered the room unobserved. With a pillow, I did the deed. I returned to the present, and destroyed the Machine.
I feel as though I have become the very kind of monster I sought to destroy. May history judge me more favourably than I do myself.
Based on their responses on Facebook circa 2018:

"Not everyone you don't like is Hitler!" I yelled back in response. Why are unionists always so hysterical?
