The Grande Administration really helped America through a difficult time, let me tell you.

A preview of some of some of what will be covered in the next few updates:

Your childhood understanding of things would make for an excellent fantasy world. That way, suspension of disbelief and mutially-exclusive elements wouldn't be as much of a problem.

I think it was probably something related to Superheroes. I was a comics fan, and I read 1602 at a young age, which probably left me with a sense that alternate history and superheroes were inherently connected. The first tangible idea I can currently remember was based on my interest in...

The film doesn't seem to have a thread here. If you haven't seen it, it very explicitly opens in an alternate history, with robots having been fairly commonplace as early as the 1940s, and AI seemingly having been developed not long after. While the film is set in the future (2065), it is quite...

A history book written by New Morrocan historian Suleiman ibn-Fuad in the year 3700 CE and focusing on the life of Caliph Harun I, the unifier of Earth under the Terran Caliphate. The book focuses primarily on Harun's early life in the Chicago slums during the plague brought about by the Gene...

Celebrity chef Bertha Washington (host of Bertha's World Kitchen on the American Broadcasting Network) released this cookbook in 2006, helping to popularize Biscayne food for Americans. It also represented a turning point politically, as it coincided with Washington's television show doing a...

They distributed it, but I don't believe they produced it. And, agreed, it's great to see Sandler give a real performance.

Personally, some of my favorite films in recent years have been distributed by A24. Uncut Gems, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and a hadful of others. I don't think Civil War looks all that great, however, but it might end up surprising me.

It was important for me to account for. If it isn't clear, I'm very interested in the ways that culture changes and warps due to historical change. In order to do that, we need to look at actual historical trends. The North was religious, everywhere was fairly religious back then, and while it...

The Rise of Southern Superstition The South was long a hotbed of religious conviction, much as the was the North. Americans trended towards God, it seemed. In the years up to the civil war, this manifested in differing ways. John Brown was a preacher, fought under the banner of religious...

Going forward, I may speed through some events. Not skip them, but this TL has basically moved at a nail's pace and I'd like to move ahead, so expect some more general updates (though there'll still be plenty of detailed sections as well, I'm not gonna rush things that are interesting). More...

Actually, yeah, basically.

Years of bitter reflection may have led him to see things through a warped lense. Still an adamant Nazi, but derirding Hitler for mistakes made. As well, assuming he's probably a narcissist (he seems like it), he'd likely be obsessed with the idea that only he could have led the Reich to...
