  1. WI: Internet Culture without TikTok?

    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...
  2. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    Well, in light of that, I did make three pictures of President Bobby Kennedy having aged a few years
  3. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    Does that include those commenters that post three pictures? Like, could I post three pictures in the post? Or wait until tomorrow?

    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...
  7. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    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...
  10. Your Personal Pop Culture Utopia timeline

    It would be lovely if he stayed around for another Addams Family movie (maybe utilize that one to have John Astin as Grandpa Addams).

    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...
  13. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    The thing is that Ghostbusters is a product of the talent from  SNL and SCTV, so really, it fits for Harold Ramis.
  14. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    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...
  15. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    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...
  16. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    You know, maybe I just read the posts too quickly, but I am wondering how deep the two major sectors of the Democratic Party are between the Social Democrats and Christian Democrats with RFK in office. Where would Bobby fall under within the two wings? Or does he try to merge them under one?

    Not to be sassy, but placing some punctuation in your posts could help you in getting you a reply.
  18. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    It would be lovely to save baseball from itself instead of OTL I am wondering if Snyder will get his way for his show a little while longer than OTL. Always a shame to me how he got booted from there (albeit, to fill a slot for Letterman). RUINED! UNFORGIVABLE! A CURSE ON YOUR HOUSE /s Weird...
  19. AHC/WI: 1891 New Orleans Lynchings Avoided?

    I have seen discussions about the 1891 New Orleans lynchings leading to a possible Italian-American War. So, to contrast that, I am wondering how to plausibly avoid the incident and, also, what, if any, reprecussions would there be of an influx of Italian/Sicilian immigrants into New Orleans...
  20. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    As the technocratic New Democratic wing, I feel like Robb may merely be sidelined for someone that can cowtow the liberal populism a bit more in RFK's camp. As for WHO that could be...well, my personal favorite would be Ann Richards in 1996 (potentially complete with a major attempt at involving...
