Tomorrow comes Firefox 57, which kills support for non-WebExtension add-ons. So if half your add-ons stop working overnight, that’s why. (Losing URL Alias will hurt a ton. Been using it for years.)

• 37% of Alabama Evangelical Christians say they’re more likely to vote for Christian-fascist Senate candidate Roy Moore ^[pictured] after multiple allegations that he undressed and groped 14-to-16-year-old girls. In case you weren’t certain yet about being an atheist.

• Meanwhile, more than 50 pastors and clergy have signed a letter defending Moore. But, y’know, something something moral authority, think about the children, so on.

• A lengthy, non-exhaustive list of men accused of sexual misconduct since Harvey Weinstein. I’m somewhat amazed they’ve all faced consequences.

• The President’s nominee for top environmental advisor doesn’t understand grade-school-level science. There was a time this might have been shocking.

• Also not shocking: Trump’s nominee for new HHS Secretary, who Trump tweets “will be a star for […] lower drug prices!”, is a former pharma executive whose company routinely raised drug prices. Because words mean nothing anymore.

• Finally, Shiva Ayyadurai, who likes to threaten and sue anyone who debunks his claim that he “invented email”, now threatens to sue Boston’s mayor over free speech.
