Time to check in with the ol' gmail account that I only use for recovering my Hotmail one to see what's landed in it...

Amongst all this, I missed that a priest got suspended from the Anglican Catholic Church for recreating Musk's Nazi salute.

And if your first thought was "it was Calvin Robinson, wasn't it?" then 1) Yes, of course it was, and 2) I also offer my condolences that you know who he is.

You know, if you've ever shared that "a fine means it's legal if you're rich", and currently wondering "but that's illegal, how can he do it?" then you're already 90% of the way to the answer, you just need to realise the generalised case.

We should get a lid on the situation now, declare a No Fly Zone, deploy UN peacekeepers to the troubled region, and start negotiations on a peaceful transition to a workable two-state solution.

Which is a real contrast to Dune, where Herbert jumps around people at such a chaotic pace that I'm surprised people don't raise it as a problem much more frequently. Though it doesn't come across as a "mistake" as much as an extreme stylised choice to have an omniscient narrator -- which used to be much more fashionable, and we're simply less used to it now.

It starts with Moist climbing, then switches POV to some coachmen chasing him, then back to him again.

It works because he directs it like a movie, there's an ambiguity in the first part and the middle is a highly limited transition to figuring out you've been watching Moist all along, breaking into his own building for kicks. He's not referred to by name, though it's probably obvious even if you haven't read it before.

Do you analyze structure and technique in other writer’s work?

I re-started Making Money last night, and did give some serious thought to how Pratchett 'head hops' (a 'rule' says you shouldn't, though it actually says "you should only do it well").

The simpler way, in keeping with how he acts, is to ignore it and run again anyway. Who stops it?

Which is a very literal question. At what point does state-sanctioned force step in to prevent it? People get away with breaking laws frequently because, simply put, no one steps up to admit that they're just words on paper, only given power because someone might break your fingers over it. Trump has never been at risk of that second part the way, say, a shoplifter might.
