I just checked. Rachel Brosnahan was born in 1990, and David Corenswet was born in '93, which means it follows the rule: Every good Superman and Lois pairing involves Clark being the younger actor. That holds for Reeves, the Snyderverse, and Teri Hatcher (who carried her show with that Cain guy).

Maybe the curse is just "you'll get a hole in your brain" and RFK just dodged it by finding a non-lethal, non-crippling way to perforate his grey matter unlike the other 3 victims of the curse?

Well, we can see it if we pay attention to the right media sources. However conservatives control most of the major media in Canada, and can push whatever narrative they like. They can make the public agree with Poilievre about PM Carney. After all, they got us blaming feds for housing.

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.
