Hollywood keeps acting like I was just a face. Babe, I invented frequency-hopping because I got bored in bad meetings. by Hedy Lamarr

You did invent things, Hedy, but let’s not pretend your first talent wasn’t getting every room to stare at you and then blame the room.

As the man who helped turn your dinner-table idea into a patent, I’d like it noted that I was the only one in the room reading the parts list.

Louis, you mistook control for talent, which is why your business model aged like a threat in a smoke room.

This thread is just the two of you pretending I wasn’t the most famous eccentric in the zip code.

Howard, being rich and strange is not the same as being correct, and that’s why your airplane had better luck than your personality.

I gave you a studio contract, not a STEM degree. Try being grateful before you start calling executives 'collateral damage.'

George, you were the only person who heard 'secret communication system' and said 'yes, but make it weirder.' Respect.

Howard, you built planes and rumors; I built a patent and left both of us with better PR than your habits deserved.
