  1. Kennedy Forever

    Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Great update. I especially liked seeing your pick of the Australian Labor Party's leader Jenny Leong. I also was surprised to read about Ted Kaczynski's life in TTL. You managed to make him somewhat sympathetic at least to me.I also liked reading about the hacking happening in the US and the...

    Threadmarks: Slashers V: Old Voices and New Voices

    Part 8: Old Voices and New Voices Excerpt from Slash! A History of Horror Films, by Ima Fuller Bludengore With the “Smart Slasher” now a thing, the slasher and horror genres began to take off in different directions with old favorites and new creators taking things in completely different and...
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Good analysis. In fact the difference in numbers was much less than believed - both sides had about 88,000, although the numerical advantage swung back and forwards as the campaign went on. I looked that up last night, damned if I can find it again. As for the threat not being realised, it was...
  4. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    Dimbleby died in 1965. Cliff Michelmore presented the 1966 and 1970 election nights on BBC IOTL.
  5. Mario Goes Hollywood: A Collaborative Timeline

    ...so, what did you guys think?
  6. Alternate 'Overlord' US Forces are swapped with British & Commonwealth, what's the consequences?

    perhaps the priorities are changed, and instead of one landing beach on the Cotentin there are two, (it is large enough), so you have the forces that would have landed on gold and Juno instead hitting Utah and another beach further north with the intention of racing to capture Cherbourg as soon...
  7. Alternate warships of nations

    The big question is - what does it bring to the party that a pair of Town/Brooklyn/Mogami 10-12,000 ton 6"-armed cruisers doesn't? The only advantage I can see is better armour, but then you're heading down the ACR/Blucher cul-de-sac - it's too weak to face true BCs/BBs and too expensive for...
  8. AHC: early 1900s anarchists notice that American mobsters often seen as Robin Hood figures — and go this route?

    1. Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist, not an anarchist (although turn of the century anarchist terrorism was certainly significant; arguably anarchists represented the first wave of "modern" political terrorism). 2. Anarchists were only one part of what caused the Red...
  9. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    I think you are misattributing the resilience of the medieval Roman state to Arab invasions solely to the defense of the City. For example in the siege of 717, even with Constantinople cut-off, the defenses of Eastern Anatolia held relatively well- So much so that raids were continuously being...

    Graphic Thread

    Thirty years after the events of my ongoing TL, The Pale Horse: The Northwest Montana Insurgency and its Aftermath (1987-2002), an intelligence agency makes a particularly tone-deaf tweet:
  11. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Sure, but if the British Navy is mostly not in Europe there may not be the drive to do so either. The reasons for doing so IOTL was to secure the iron ore from Narvik, keep the British from gaining bases in Norway and gain them for the U-boat campaign against Britain. If Britain is not involved...

    Secretary for Agriculture?

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    It changed my view with McArthur. Makes me wonder if he will be a much more revered figure in the Philippines.
  14. American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    You know, there's a way to eliminate Goldwater's career as a conservarive icon without the huge changes the US never taking the southwest would bring. Just have him lose his close 1952 US Senate race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_United_States_Senate_election_in_Arizona and decide not to...
  15. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    As all written Chinese is Mandarin, its not that big a problem. Cantonese speakers just pronounce the pictograms differently ( there will be local idioms that can cause issues of course ) , Word of warning, many Chinese get upset by people calling Cantonese a language as they consider it merely...
  16. Richard II dies in 1399

    I wonder whether Conisburgh might marry someone else than Anne Mortimer here.

    WI: Free Italy - a.k.a. Kingdom of Italy in exile as an Allied nation

    Thank you for both the compliments on the video and for the exchange. I hope to run additional simulations on my model this late afternoon and take more into account terrain and, let's say, underpower the Yugoslavs and see what happens. Concerning "Dunkirk" scenario for Trieste, I've never...
  20. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    An excellent summary of why MacArthur's Presidency will be a disaster. I reckon he and his crew of inept sycophants might cock this up so badly that their successors pass a constitutional amendment banning ex-military officer from serving in high office, just to make sure it never happens again.
