    If those who had died in "their time" had lived longer (if Oscar Wilde had seen WWI and other ideas)

    A deep cut from the world of sequential art: For a time, Sidney Smith's The Gumps was the most popular comic strip in America. Smith was a very, very wealthy man – he paved the way for the shocking pop cultural success of extremely wealthy and extremely prominent strip artists like Al "fucking"...

    Heroes of Suvla "I would like to do something now, a second time now, as President-elect. And that is to sing a song. [cheers] You will have to indulge me if I forget the words, but it is a song from some 70 years ago, about a young Australian boy, and it goes like this. [cheers, laughter...

    The Red Baron and other useless tossers who wouldn't have done much with the extra years

    JFK Jr. was very pretty and very, very, very stupid – I doubt he even makes a run for anything. He's probably most famous for whoever he's dating at a certain point, no? "Oh yeah X is dating JFK's son, I forgot that!" On a bit of an American Civil War kick recently (it is sort of important for...

    When did OTL leaders become 'plausible'?

    It is sort of interesting to note that as early as 2008, Kamala Harris was seen as a possible, if not altogether probable, candidate for president in the event that Hillary somehow didn't make it to the White House: other named options in this article are Amy Klobuchar (lol) and Carly Fiorina!

    Kimkatya in: The Thread That Wouldn't Die

    Well Batman is a boy's adventure serial from the 1930s that has been given a bizarrely long lease on life – no one really spends time arguing why Lensman or Tarzan are problematic, though they very much are, and much more so than Batman is. To meeeee it's a silly question because the premise...

    Alternate Wikibox Thread

    Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley (17 October 1769 — 19 February 1837) [1] was a politician and landowner who served as Member of Parliament for Cheshire and succeeded his father as High Sheriff of Cheshire. Although elected as an independent, Darcy was broadly allied to the Whigs, as he was also a...
