But every time they need an already dead character they just have to use it again... even if the last time was 20 years ago. And the character would be exactly as remembered.

So, no need to recast Thunderbolt Ross.

Imagine what Disney could do with this: an infinite series of MCU/Star Wars movies where the actors don't get old.

The gerrymandering in federal elections is something that amazes me since decades ago. I understand it when it was created. But today? When you can count all ballots in a few hours? I get the divisions when you have to vote for the Senate or your district, but in a federal election you are only voting for one person. Count all the ballots, find the one with the most ballots and name that person president. It's not that hard.

I can think of a funnier map: Canada taking NY, Washington DC, ... and Mexico (re)taking the west coast. Imagine if Texas ended up being again part of Mexico.

Don't get it wrong. The "unity" in Germany was the result of "first they came for...". Hitler didn't win any fair election. Only after jailing all the opposing parties he won.

Maybe he cured a strong headache (maybe some herbal remedy) but they grew the anecdote and he ended up "curing leprosy".

Maybe he existed... but only as a common human and all the supernatural things were added later.

Now this could be a nice use of AI: deepfake Trump as Hammond, voice included.

An even better example is North Korea.
