Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond I know almost nothing about French history post 1945 - this post and subsequent discussion has been informative. Thanks all.

Yeah, itโ€™d be nice. Thereโ€™s all sorts of odd details and implications on such a timeline. On a Ford 1976 timeline, someone made a fascinating cultural analysis point: www.alternatehistory.com/forum/thread...

Hopefully link works!

Maybe but Dems bailed out the Teamsters and they couldn't endorse Harris because their members backed Trump.

Meanwhile, Dems bend over backwards to appeal to farmers (such as funding rural broadband), while Trump just drives their customers away. Guess which side is winning their vote in 2026?

Greta Thunberg is such a class act, even when she's been horrifically mistreated by the IDF she does not make it about herself and remains consistent in her messaging in wanting the relentless campaign of oppression and genocide against the Palestinian people to end.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

Itโ€™s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

Itโ€™s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israelโ€™s flagrant breaches of international law.

I've previously called A.I. recreations of the departed "the digital equivalent of digging up a corpse and parading it around for profit". Parading it in front of the family of the deceased for amusement is even worse.

I hope Ms. Williams' statement helps people recognize how ugly it is.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Digimon: The Movie and y'all, when they talk about films that "couldn't be made today," THIS is it. A weird, funny and fascinating time capsule.

I reckoned Eisner probably still would've left at the same time if Wells lived as he did IOTL, but with a much more positive legacy instead of being remembered as a heel.

One of the most commonly-misunderstood things about "Disney Adults" is our feelings towards Disney executives.

I have yet to encounter a "Disney Adult" who doesn't absolutely LOATHE Disney executives with every last fiber of their being. That's what happens when you do the research.

06.10.2025 18:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 333    ๐Ÿ” 120    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 19    ๐Ÿ“Œ 11

100% this.

"Disney Adults", and I think most reasonable film and animation fans, are not fans of ANY studio executives who are the ones making all the shitty decisions. You like the artists and writers creating the art, not Bob Iger or David Zaslav.

If you assume everything Trumpers do is about Epstein, you will be correct 90 percent of the time.

By 2016, probably back to Democrats, but unsure who'd be it. A lot has changed because of cultural impact along with economics and likely even differing tech decisions. Earlier focus on renewables means battery tech is focused there instead of cars, so hydrogen fuel cells may win by default

2008 may see Thomas Kean Jr become president. He'd be quite a differing politician than he is now. He'd be 24 when his father would be president and likely seek to emulate him, if for the 21st century. 2010s would still be a time of growing change, especially since Reaganism isn't haunting us.

Butterfly effects include differing aid in Afghanistan so no Taliban or Al-Queda (constitutional monarchy restored by mid-90s?), Soviet Union lasting a bit longer, but still falling, differing deals with China, and so on.

2000 would probably see Bush Jr (more moderate here) lose to either Gore or Bill Bradley (maybe the former because Atari Democrat vision) and the 2000s would be continuing 1990s prosperity though combined with rising internet and new changes because butterfly effect.

GOP would get their 'new guy' in 1992 with Thomas Kean Sr. Former New Jersey governor, he was pretty popular and worked with both parties. Running mate probably John Warner, a moderate Senator from Virginia. This symbolizes GOP moving to the right-wing to remain electorally viable.

Udall would probably resign in 1986 due to his Parkinson's, probably after ramming in universal healthcare and Mondale is President from 1986-1993. Meanwhile, with Reagan either disgraced/retired, the GOP struggle big time for how to move forward, as 1980s was big transition for both parties.

06.10.2025 22:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Udall was a lefty and he'd focus on universal healthcare along with economic recovery. The 1980s would be last hurrah of these old school lefties so we'd see a lot of reform. This with the economic bounce back means boomers here are more left economically and lesser extent socially, compaared to OTL

06.10.2025 22:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

By 1980, the GOP would be in utter crap and the Dems would be having their chances soar. Carter does not have dark horse energy or unique strategy. If I had to pick a candidate, it'd be Mo Udall, with Mondale as running mate. Landslide victory for Dems.

1977-1981: Ford or Reagan win. The two proceed to get blamed for the malaise like Carter OTL. If Reagan won, it'd be way worse as he'd screw up Panama and lead to the Canal getting damaged/being offline for a few years. Ford was pragmatic to still make the deal with Panama.
