@mcc oh yeah! I had this bug coupled with another bug where it showed the same profile as favoriting something twice. It was funny to see

This is now fixed in mastodon/mastodon git HEAD, and the PR to fix it also is vaguely portentous

@mcc pr says hasFuture but pfp says ALL WE HAVE IS NOW, really makes you think,

@mcc Between that and the username and the avatar this really sounds like some out-of-context bit from a Square JRPG, maybe PS2 era? Stuff that's said towards the end and that doesn't really make sense but is clearly meant to be very hopeful and optimistic.

@mcc This reminds me of the German Snapple skit from Calvin and Habs.

@mcc Congrats to Mastodon on her transition

[fedward@distraction.party]

@mcc the user avatar saying ALL WE HAVE IS NOW doesn't help with the temporal confusion there.
