Whoosh

Thanks ever so for making me defend Ubi. The implication is that he got
the job due to Hollywood connections and promoting the right politics,
not for having a successful record of adapting novels into movie
screenplays. And no matter how much political shitposting he does, it
doesn't prevent you from pay8ing for a movie ticket and seeing this in
theater when it opens since you are determined to prove that politics
won't make this unentertaining.

You may despise Ubi but at least he figured out how to use a .sig
delimiter. Can you figure it out too?
