    @gerikson The name predates the white nationalist band by *several centuries*. Per wiki: “In classical and medieval literature, ultima Thule (Latin “farthest Thule”) acquired a metaphorical meaning of any distant place located beyond the “borders of the known world”.”

    I suspect they renamed the KBO Arrokoth precisely to avoid the unfortunate recent connotations of the name.
