This is partisan hackery of the worst kind!

Clearly we are in orbit of a Kerr black hole, whose axial rotation is causing the light to shift according to frame dragging!

Leave it to the blues to assume everyone is moving towards them!!!

If you just link directly to XKCD it does embed properly (for posts). I just tested.

Not embedded (using Jerboa).

It embeds in posts, not in my comment.

They mean posting the link instead of uploading a copy of the image.
It's not about the comment.

One of the things I loved in NuWho were the red and blue shifts in the opening credits.
