Sorry gang, been squaring away the new vehicle and it's a bit trickier to handle than I'd expected lol. Anyway in a relevant vein I saw Furiosa yesterday and loved it! It was so much fun and Hemsworth was incredibly entertaining and Taylor-Joy was excellent as always. Obviously Mad Max will get...

MAGNIFICENT! The most aggressive sesesh are aggressively policed within the movement and driven out to splinter and wither since no other faction will absorb them. The consensus position is to build up systems of regional cooperation, erode state and federal authority in specific areas that...

Sorry gang, my engine exploded and I've been navigating getting a new car. Should have it settled by the end of next week and I'll try to put down some more ideas

We could have a Mad Max epilogue so that'd be cool

Now just mash 'em both together

Oh goddamn that's perfect, I've been putting off making a new map for my deglaciated Antarctic superpower TL! My computer sucks so it won't be good enough to enter the actual challenge but I look forward to what people make.

Having some car problems and almost definitely need a new car so things are a bit more hectic on my end unfortunately. Still, it gave me the idea to include at least a passing mention of Transformers in my regressive fiction post, since although you'd never know it from the OTL modern movies...

Ran into some delays since I'll probably have to buy a new car and am stuck walking/biking to work for a couple of weeks. Hopefully once I get everything sorted I'll be able to type up The Brazen Bull but things are just a little hectic right now 😅

If anyone can't guess that's as close as I can get to mapping Civil War to actual politics. I actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit even if the lack of reference to actual modern political realities disappointed me. Still a good "modern civil wars are terrible" movie though even if it doesn't...

They have diametrically opposed race theories but similar governmental systems so they'd hate each other more deeply than either ever thought possible.

Was thinking about the eventual 2016 election today while out running errands and I figured I'd lay out a couple of subcultural symbols (besides the previously mentioned Weathermen logo) for relevant groups that don't quite rank up to being flags on their own. I've got to clean up a lot of...

Here's another fun one based on a TL where Fred Hampton gets assassinated later: The National Union Party is the personal beast of president Nixon, originally a Republican Party renamed to absorb the Democrats alienated by a surge of leftist radicalism in a bid to hearken back to Lincoln. Then...

Glad to see so many incentive systems, good work gang!

I mean in Transmetropolitan the two parties still have names but no one ever uses them, it's always just the Party in Government and the Opposition and elections just switch which of them is which.

Replace red with violet, green-white-violet was the traditional scheme given the implications of mauvine and it saves you from your bait posting
