I hate that I look at this still from The Simpsons over 30 years ago (as well as the associated RNC one about how they "want what's worst for everyone") and realize that the Democratic Party really has always been allergic to giving us candidates and policies leftists can stand behind.

Okay, UX rant.
YouTube, typically when a post has this UI on it, you've previously denoted that as a promoted comment, so it looks like someone said "Your recommended posts, all in one place." Instead, this just takes you to posts of people you think I'd like. Why would you do this

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
Well I guess I get to join these people because they would not rescue me if they wanted to (not like they'd want to)

I can't really see ten years ago as "retro" even though frankly it probably counts. Twenty years ago, though…

so uh, hyfetch has a really cute pride month animation that I didn't even realize it had until now because I don't run arch btw (might switch soon, Pop!_OS has a few minor ACPI issues that are becoming annoying enough that I feel like I should probably switch). Such a hyfetch thing to do really 💜
