The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

        Their next kid will be named Ultima Thule, and they will claim very loudly that this is just because they are so big fans of astrology and that they never heard of the controversy regarding the name.

            @gerikson The name predates the white nationalist band by *several centuries*. Per wiki: “In classical and medieval literature, ultima Thule (Latin “farthest Thule”) acquired a metaphorical meaning of any distant place located beyond the “borders of the known world”.”

            I suspect they renamed the KBO Arrokoth precisely to avoid the unfortunate recent connotations of the name.
