I don't have a horse in the white house race. I'm not even american, so my voice don't count here. But I wish developers would refrain from using the languages tooling to voice political opinions. At least this package I can ignore... but the last time I used npm my terminal looked like both a blend of a protest march and a craigslist page, completely drowning the relevant informations.

Yeah. I feel there's a kind of eternal serenity to be found in truly apolitical works. For everyone to put their connection to Today aside and share in something timeless---that really feels like genuine connection to others.

This is a political position.

Yes, the purest form of privilege is the option to not engage with politics.
