    This reminds me of that feature in the first Civilization game where the portraits of your advisors change, depending on what type of government you have: Democracy, Republic, Communism, etc.

    Under Anarchy, your foreign minister was Madonna, your military advisor was a banana republic general, science advisor a drug dealer, etc. https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Advisor_(Civ1)?file=Advisors_(Civ1).png

    This is like that.

      Not that much like it, apparently.

      https://www.nme.com/news/music/madonna-shares-support-for-ukraine-with-release-of-sorry-remix-video-3170167

      In the early hours of this morning (February 26), Madonna took to social media to share a fanmade video set to a remix of her 2005 song ‘Sorry’.

      “Russia’s Pointless and Greed Driven Invasion Of the Ukraine MUST be stopped!!” the queen of pop captioned the post. “Please Send in Humanitarian Aid to help millions of citizens of the Ukraine who’s lives are being affected by this CRISIS at this very moment !!

      “Putin has Violated Every Human Rights Accord in Existence. Putin has no right to try to erase the existence of the Ukraine. We support you President Zelensky!! We are praying for you and your country! 🙏🏼.”

      She concluded: “God Bless You All! Lets not feel helpless when confronted by Geo-political Actions of this magnitude. There are things we can do.”

        Haha, point taken.

        Back in 1991, when the first Civilization game came out, Madonna wasn’t the “elder statesman” that she is today.
