No, regrettably there won't be a major UI overhaul as part of GIMP 3, it's very much under-the-hood improvements. From what I've seen, the maintainers are very open to a UI overhaul, but they don't have the right contributors to do it in a significant way.

That said, functionality like text outlines aren't really a UI/UX feature in the main.

Voting for a fascist makes a person categorically a fascist. And by accepted measures of fascism, such as Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, you'd have to do some major rhetorical gymnastics to conclude anything else.

Why stop there? Time to campaign for fee, hee, jee, kee, etc.

L, M, N and O get a free pass because they're really just a prefix to P, not letters in their own right.

Not sure about density, but birds that aren't adapted to water don't produce the oil and don't have the interlocking feathers to trap air and make them float very well. And you'll find plenty of rescue videos of birds struggling to get out of water they've accidentally ended up in, e.g. owls, pigeons.

I'm yet to see a convincing, authoritative historical source on the "whale killer" factoid. Follow the trail on asesina-ballenas and Basque fishermen and you get nowhere.

The print is smudgy and the oval graphic on the print is a raster that's already been stretched, I think. Add the image focus being a little off and the compression by the file host, and it's a conjunction of mess.

I actually didn't realize they'd renamed it from μBlock to uBlock. I assumed people typed the latter for convenience.

Protocol is strictly "Madam".

You'll see the same in other positions -- Madam Speaker, Madam Secretary, Madam Ambassador.

Succinct and accurate. Really wish people were more objective and less polarized on software.
