@mekkaokereke Oh god no Frank Herbert was writing Serious Stuff. Big flashy sign saying “AUTHOR’S MESSAGE” every ten pages. His dad was a utopian, and Herbert himself was this weird libertarian romanticizing exotic culture every chance he got.

@IamMrsGeek (Guy Ritchie frenetic cut scene plan description) and then when the two-leggers are watching us with the water, Weird Kid 1 barks at the door and Weird Kid 2 sneaks past all the snacks in a footie uniform to blend in the crowd.

Is Mozilla doing that thing where they know folks won’t like their decision so they appoint a woman as CEO to take the heat? I’m not saying they are just that this behavior matches a pattern.
