      You can seethe all you want but we owe our lifeblood to Melenchon squeezing himself into our server rack and defending it from gladio operatives via his mac-10

    I thought I had gotten drunk and turned youtube or some part of my system into French. Glad I’m not the only one.

    Seems like a good reason to substitute Invidious links. They actually embed a text blurb, at least in chatrooms.
