  1. Low-Tax liberalism: The rise of the Libertarian Party

    Curious if John Anderson plays a role in this election...

  2. Why isn't the Episcopal Church called the Church of America?

    I feel like the American characteristic of the First Amendment making anyone leery of declaring anything that even sounds like an established church (despite American religiosity being relatively higher than most other western nations) aside, perhaps a Church of America / Church of United States...

  3. Ole Miss Riot of 1962 turns into full-scale insurrection

    In the context of the OP premise maybe the state would receive some sort of indefinite martial law that lasts a couple of years, rather than actual neo-reconstruction. That said my statement snidely referring to recent happenings at Ole Miss the university itself, not the state. Which I will not...

  4. Ole Miss Riot of 1962 turns into full-scale insurrection

    Guess the Southern apologist sockpuppet went bye-bye. "Reconstructionist fetishism" may be a dumb meme, but given recent events, perhaps Ole Miss should've been reconstructed in the '60s. And that's all I have to say on that subject.

  5. WI: Elon Musk remains in South Africa

    He founds the company from Chappie https://fictionalcompanies.fandom.com/wiki/Tetravaal_Tactical_Robotics

  6. Night City in the '90s: What if someone had built a city halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles?

    I've heard of that project. I'd be interested in seeing where it goes. It does seem like the people behind it are a bunch of libertarian industrialist tech types.

  8. Obscure AH Websites

    A comprehensive Harry Turtledove fansite that ran from at least 1997 to 2016 by Steven H. Silver, who is a sci-fi author in his own right. https://web.archive.org/web/20160620155450/https://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/turtledove.html Found on Del Rey's (yeah, the actual publisher) list of AH...

  9. Why don't more timelines have Avalon as the name of the British New World?

    For the record, I first saw Avalon used as a name for North America prior to me realizing what it referred to, in an old alternate history timeline on a standalone website (remember that internet) that I just rediscovered still exists: Heavily excerpted Avalon references: I kinda love how...

  10. What if Kuomintang Won Chinese Civil War Would does Affect Honkai: Star Rail?

    Lincoltonbro-style posting but about individual anime series

  11. King Charles Gay?

    What if Ray Charles had a different first name?

  12. Basic Image Questions 101 Thread

    Maybe these questions should go to people who do web design and actually have to weigh the consequences of image file size

  13. Basic Image Questions 101 Thread

    For a level of truly super-simple questions. I exported my entire Imgur account and I realized I've been using too many PNGs, inefficiently. I'm mostly just embedding images in-line, none of them maps or flags but mostly images of people, sometimes stills from movies or video. For instance the...

  14. King Charles Gay?

    This thread is turning real weird and idk recent developments almost make it Political Chat-shaped (or at least News Chat), but I just want to reiterate how funny this thread title is if you were to replace the lyrics in "Good King Wenceslas" with it

  15. Restoration of Burgundy in 19th century

    I typed "revival of Burgundian identity" into a search engine and interestingly, a non-AH link popped up: "Burgundian Afterlives. Appropriating the Dynastic Past(s) in the Habsburg Netherlands"
