As an observer and even from the founders of Vine, your POD would have to be Vine doesn't get bought by Twitter at the start for $30M. Perhaps the app is later bought by one of the major social media conglomerates (Twitter included) at a later date, once they can use the 6-second method for ad...
Not all brothers have the same style. Hell, IOTL, Bobby was considerably more the conservative one out of the three brothers. Even if they are more aligned ITTL politically to some degree, the notion that Bobby will still be a hippy while nearing 60 and still more conservative in appearance is...
By the looks of this, the law doesn't require a constant renewal, which is beneficial in establishing something more permanent
A good selling point for both Kennedy's personal anti-abortion views and for the base on pro-choice protection with Doe v. Bolton; harassment against women would help...
I mean no disrespect with this sidetrack, but I love how the picture is almost crudely, yet masterfully, drawn as its own punishment. Like a spamming message that was so obnoxious, they don't even deserve a good picture of them being banned. They should be punished as harshly as they are being...
I actually legit recall a discussion on year nearly a decade ago (I think the thread is long since deleted), but someone suggested that a non radicalized Osama could have used explosions and experimentation for science rather than terrorism, becoming a Mythbusters cast member. I always thought...
Well, Palestine remains as OTL
On the one hand, this stymies OBL's effort in wheeling and dealing US defense money to help build al-Qaeda and could be an effort at weakening fundamentalist terrorism. OTOH, I could see a weakened ALQ be filled by a more effective and structured Taliban. So, this...
Out of all the races, there are a few that make me think that it could be either one or two seat pickups or declines, with the key races being the following:
Nebraska: Ed Zorinsky was a notable conservative Democrat that had a lot of cajoling and courting to return to the party he switched...
Discord could have been called Wyvern, tumblr could have been called Bonfire, Current could have been a YouTube competitor instead of a last minute MSNBC competitor...
While I still stand by my belief of the movie being SNL/ SCTV alum heavy, I kind of agree. Butterflies would change for a lot, not just in the ways we wish hard for. Something that I had a philosophical disagreement with in another TL about the sports results being the exact same as OTL...
I would wonder why not moving that up to 1987 ITTL? The only reason why Carson pulled that IOTL was, IIRC, NBC being desperate. Once they renewed him until 1988, then 1992, that allowed Jay Leno to take the mantle as a guest host and, via Kushnick, Tonight. Letterman gets the show in 1987, then...
With an altered Kennedy willing to be more accommodating to progressives, I imagine I could see him much more in line with the perception of him being the OTL "New Democrat" on free trade, but with some accommodations to the unions. Even a Kennedy would still take a barometer to the economic...
