You canāt tell me that Texas doesnāt have its own peculiar culture, and has ever since the white man got there (even before, moreān likely).
And they already have their own grid, whoopee! But I bet Mexico wonāt want any Texans going over its borders illegallyā¦
We know that areawise, Alaska is bigger than Texas. If TX does secede (snicker), which state would takes its place as 2d largest state in the US? California? Iām just guessing here, I havenāt looked it up.

Apparently the guy who assassinated Shinzo Abe was mad about the Unification church, blaming Abe for giving them this kind of support in Japan. A little deeper and you get a lot of conspiracy theory about George Bush Sr. and the CIAā¦ because of course they dabbled in setting up right-wing religious cults.

Fashion was once a way to tell who was wealthy and/or titled from who wasnāt. It still is, in a way, only the titles donāt always involve nobility.
Even prior to Louis XIV, there were āsumptuary lawsā which decided who of what class and/or noble rank could wear what. I read that in the non-fiction history book, āA Distant Mirror The Calamitous 14th Centuryā by Barbara W. Tuchman.
