Yeah, I wrote that half-awake but here is a better telling of the story of Virginia's claims in PA:

Keep in mind that Jefferson became governor in 1773.

Virginia claimed that it was there and Jefferson when he was Virginia's governor sent some of his militia into PA. They were captured and a note was found from Jefferson that ended, "destroy this message".

What to be careful though is NY. They maybe a bit salty losing Erie.

No they clearly used the same actors for the reboot. When you look at the comparison videos you can see that they are the same people but older. It's weird but also a nice touch that they got the same people. Now my head canon is that they live in a Groundhog Day type loop, living the same day over and over again, but they also age.

A Chinese company gave Musk money to buy Twitter (along with other companies from other countries) but this is only the start of Twitter turning into a worse place than FB.

Edit:

I can only find one company from China but here is something:

Reply to GOP loses pre-election bid to mess with Pennsylvania's votes by susinpgh

For now but I would bet it's going to be voter a mix of intimidation/threats of violence/actual violence (like what is already happening in Arizona), them trying to throw out as many ballots as possible, Oz declaring "victory" before the election, Oz and the Republicans trying to end the vote count early, etc...
