My current plan is to use arkenfox user.js and Fennec. However, I'm concerned about relying on F-droid since they tend to get behind on security updates.

Is there a recommended Mull alternative? If not, is there a better place to get Fennec?

An eerie public show of support for Luigi Mangione outside New York Supreme Court on Monday drew comparisons to The Manson Family. A few dozen masked young women swayed and sang as the alleged UnitedHealthare CEO killer pled not guilty plea on terrorism charges . The 26-year-old sported a collared shirt, maroon sweater and orange shoes as he leaned over to a microphone to enter his plea. During his court appearance, he smiled at times when talking with his attorneys and stretched his right hand after an officer removed his cuffs. Mangione did not appear to have any family members with him. But one report suggested about two dozen women supporters got seats in the courtroom galley. In a scene reminiscent of Charles Manson's cult followers in the 60s, a few dozen supporters wearing masks chanted 'Free Luigi' outside over the blare of a trumpet. Some even were seen visibly singing, as a few masked Mangione fans sang 'The Hanging Tree' from the film series The Hunger Games. The song's lyrics include a repeated line: 'They strung up a man/They say who murdered three.'

Amazing that the feds and media aren't asking themselves if they're the bad guys in all of this. This guy killed someone who murdered thousands with the stroke of a pen. He has almost universal support. It couldn't be more clear to the public that this is only 'terrorism' because the person he killed was a wealthy CEO and that the justice system is corrupt.

A shocking public show of support for alleged UnitedHealthare CEO killer Luigi Mangione at his not guilty plea on terrorism charges Monday drew eerie comparisons to The Manson Family

From who, Daily Mail, who made the comparison?

Natalie Monarrez, a 55-year-old Staten Island resident, said she joined the demonstration because she lost both her mother and her life savings as a result of denied insurance claims. Read More Luigi Mangione speaks in court as he answers to terrorism charges for CEO shooting article image 'As extreme as it was, it jolted the conversation that we need to deal with this issue,' she said of the shooting. 'Enough is enough, people are fed up.'

I'm not going to post the rest of the article because it just goes into the details of the Manson cult, and I find the comparison of a shooting where 0 innocents were harmed to a racist cult to be disgusting.

Obviously it is not theory but as a piece of dystopian fiction what do y'all think of it. Is it as overtly propagandist as Orwell's works?

If you ignore photograph 2 and don't pay too much attention to the top right of photo 5. Oh and is that the monolith from 2001 in the last photo?

A reactionary, capitalist, consumerist nightmare of a holiday for treat chasing kkkrackkers!

Under Communism we will re-edit "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" to end with the Grinch shoving that sled over the cliff before a crowd of crying Whos, and the Grinch will be declared a Hero of the People's Republic!

We will replace Christmas with Halloween 2, the superior proletariat Holiday to the decadent bourgeois Christmas!

...sorry I work retail and this week has been utter hell. Fuck Christmas!

We ate here a few years ago and I wanted to see the movie. I was a little disappointed at the lack of chainsaw massacre that took place. What was that Grandpa hammer scene? What happened to Black Maria?

The police say the Grinch costume enabled the officer to approach the target building as part of seasonal celebrations without being detected by suspects.
