That would be great, because that's one feature about reddit that I can appreciate is having reddit.com directly go to my subscribed subs. Having that here, and still having the home IRC channel there would be great, because that's what's currently missing by doing a little workaround.

I've been looking around and haven't been able to find the answer for myself: is there any way to make the home page default to only the subs that we've subscribed to?

I thought this was at least a mildly interesting read, and interesting context to the well known phrase, "canary in a coal mine."

I have the same question, because I don't see one in the article, and he's shirtless in the video.

I think he's definitely troubled—his frequent allusions to suicide, including at the end of this article, are certainly an indicator—but, I think it's a fascinating window into the mind of someone who is definitely creating good (and if not good, interesting art). That, and the illumination of how he feels about there being an irreparable divide between "white" and "black" entertainment.

Agreed. I've been completely underwhelmed by the other various spin-offs in the past, and this actually feels... right, somehow.

You can really tell the care with which you're working on this site. For something only a few months old, it's really taking shape nicely.

The new shade of gray in the background definitely makes it easier on the eyes. I just joined earlier today, and a slightly lower contrast day mode was actually a change I was going to suggest when lo and behold... this post!
