  1. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Under most circumstances yes. However there are crimes which even a child knows is totally wrong. For example the murder of jammie bulger by 2 10 year old boys in the uk. But for victimless crimes or minimal harm offences then allowances should be made. However by 18 everyone should know the...
  2. Map Thread XX

    The latest map in the Confederation of American States series, by u/jjpamsterdam from Reddit: the Westward Expansion of Anglo-Dutch America, from 1770-1870.

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Out of curiosity how often did the Shuttle door hinges need to be replaced?
  4. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Presumably, it's also related to the terms of British non-intervention, that is, no conquest of metropolitan France (Cutting Russia down a size is fine, but if Germany can break France, the balance is all gone, thus the UK will want France to remain a great power) - Thus any substantial...
  5. Andrew Boyd: Duke of Dank

    Britt Allcroft and Lucasfilm Present: Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (A BSiC supplement)

    Well, my TL's TUGS gets high acclaim for those kind of dark themes.
  6. WI: Battle of the Frontiers

    The Battle of the Frontiers is regarded here as a general failure on the part of the French. This mostly comes from the failure of the main French offensive into Lorraine and the French failure to halt the German advance in Belgium. However, given the French redeployments to meet the northern...

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    We may never know what his motives was but anyway, it was stupid. Not wise. Odds are he did it to distract the Janissaries and the local Muslims who are angry. Anyway, stupid move even if there was certain proof. Nation formation of the Balkans, Middle East and the Caucasus leads to bloodshed...

    Britt Allcroft and Lucasfilm Present: Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (A BSiC supplement)

    Even for Tugs standard that strikes me as far too dark a storyline.
  9. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    BraveStarr will likely be made at Ruby-Spears. I don't know too much about the Pink Panther shorts, but Box Office Bunny will likely start the Looney Tune revival.
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, if I've got this straight, He-Man didn't succeed enough to give Orion a boost in ratings or profits, She-Ra's poised to follow the route of Alice and Belle, on top of their adaptation of Nancy Drew over a decade ago, their OTL Ghostbusters cartoon has been cancelled in favor of DIC's...
  11. top tv shows NEVER MADE...

    Nublar (2018-2020) A TV series airing on NBC. Both a prequel and a soft reboot of Jurassic Park, it chronicles the birth of Jurassic Park and the cloning technology, as created by John Hammond (Michael Palin), Ben Lockwood (Michael Douglas), and Henry Wu (Randall Park). It was the first major...
  12. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Hmmmm... fair enough. It becomes easier to see why the Germans did not try a landing any farther east than Hanko, even before considering the minefields.

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    The wealthier Greeks and Armenians were basically the Jews of the Ottoman Empire. Often loyal, attached to their identity as well, but also the first to be oppressed when the guys at the top wanted a quick easy show of force. If you want to have a failed revolution, don't be an asshat to the...

    WI : Constantinople resisting and early fall of the Crimean khanate

    So, I was thinking of a backstory for a modern byzantine version of Constantinople I could possibly work in Cities Skylines (if I get time for it) and I got thinking on the consequences it could have on Russia, and what these developments would entail for Constantinople. The pod remains very...
  15. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    I have a feeling Lewinsky is going to be one of the options to choose from should we reach 2020. If they'll actually win is a whole other question
  16. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    What did the Sherman-Ewing family think as a whole? or moreso his brother? They were pretty close...
  17. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    So Port Disney is a fully fledged port park in Long Beach? That’s awesome, but it also seems like the sort of thing that would be highly controversial not just with the politicians but also with the public; considering how contentious Anaheim politics are vis a vis Disneyland IOTL, I can only...

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Well it is not always "everyone from here is loyal" and "everyone from there is not loyal". You had loyal and non-loyal people. The Ottomans being too decentralized, leaving the provinces in the hand of feudal Tyrants like Ali Tepelene who tax out the 'loyalty' isn't helping. My ancestors...

    The History of the Restored Portugal, the Brigantine Dynasty.

    All fixed thanks for pointing that out, anything else please be my guest. You got a lot from this update, yeah I think D. Teodosio must die since I just cant deal with creating people, I lack to do something that complex, but Afonso VI will not take the throne and I'm thinking in developing a...
