    Absolutely! Great work as always!

  3. Early Hawaiian Statehood - Effects on American Politics?

    It would definitely require a Pre-1900 PoD I think, so this may be the wrong forum. Perhaps a "Successful Reconstruction" TL with two or more southern states dominated by a Freeman/Scalawag/Carpetbagger Republican coalition. At a bare minimum some sort of Jim Crow situation where only white land...

    Clip: Karen, looking older and fuller, leads a camera crew through a modest living room scattered with toys, many of them lined up in perfect rows. Karen: And here’s where we live most of our lives, as you (laughs) can probably see! Heavens to Betsy’s “I Wanna’ Be a Karen,” a song modeled on...

    Yes, I left a few off the table. I largely overlooked L7 for the same reason as Hole: I've been trained by the Long Plastic Hallway to classify them under "Grunge", which is doubly ludicrous given how much overlap there is there. I mean Tobi Vale was mentioned as a "muse" for Kurt Cobain and...

    And I appreciate them all! I saw you were already posting some in the Hensonverse Images thread. Yep, and that avenue is open your more from you or others. Hensonverse is a shared sandbox. Just don't violate Canon! It depends on if any more such ideas strike. Won't rule it out, won't guarantee...

    No judgement on the Idol, man! I love Billy Idol. "White Wedding" is one of my favorites. The video is epic. Mostly that's an indication of the way the tastes are changing. David Bowie would definitely like her new style, particularly where she goes next. He was all about Reinvention and...

    Yes, I can see the ambiguity. I added a link to the wiki page and italicized the name (1999), which I originally had but it got lost in the posting, to try and make clear I meant his album named "1999" from 1982.

The brief stand-in for D.H. Peligro on Late Night had reawakened her passion for performance. Her Manager...

    Alas Bernie will be playing the part of "Sir Not Appearing in this Timeline". As fun as he is to write for, no real place for him that wouldn't be forced. Thank you for the kind words, and great to have you aboard again, WHC. Some good predictions there, MNM. And...your ironic timing could...

    Thanks, and welcome back, Your Lordship. Stay tuned. Thanks, been following it. Great stuff! Humbled to have helped inspire it. And that's all OTL! Not even to the PoD yet! Despite all her percussive talents, they pulled her up front. Stay tuned! I definitely chose Jude for a reason...

    Thanks, all, and glad to have you all back! Hope you enjoy it. Welcome back and hope it lives up to the prior stuff for you. And just like on the drive where we had the idea, Mrs. Khan is driving with me here. Many of the twists and turns come from her. She's a natural extension here for sure...

    [Fade In] Haunting orchestral music plays faintly over a field of black. One by one video clips fly onto the screen, take precedence up front, then fall into the background, each sequentially taking a random spot on the screen, top, bottom, left, or right, stretched out towards the back, slowly...
