Sad to hear that Jabba the Hutt got strangled by one of his captives. He was very generous in inviting me to his sail barge parties and he always held the held the room. He was outspoken and combative at times, but he had a sense of humour and infectious laugh.

Mild spoilers for Spider-Man, but there’s a very good Denzel Washington movie called Fallen that also does that multiple people talking to the protagonist scene really well.

When It Happens there is going to be such a shower of bullshit about what is acceptable public discourse, when absolutely none of that courtesy will be extended in the other direction.
