It's a big day for England.
They're facing off against Argentina in the Men's World Cup in Atlanta.
But back home, things are kind of messy.
Voters are big mad, yet another prime minister is about to lose his job,
and one of the main opposition figures is being challenged by a guy called Count Binface,
who wears a trash can on his head.
Oh my goodness, looks like something out of Star Wars.
National policies, nationalize Adele, build at least one affordable house,
try nurses pay to that of ministers, rename...
London Bridge after Phoebe Waller.
I'll make cyclists to disobey the highway code have to ride unicycles instead.
Sadly, today Explained from Vox will not be about Count Binface.
Instead, we're going to talk about the political chaos that's led to this moment
where voters are excited about a man wearing a trash can on his head.
This might sound like ancient history at this point,
but there was a time when all lights did was turn on and turn off.
Dim if you're lucky.
But then a group at Philips came along and discovered, what if all your lights could change colors?
What if they could change colors in wild, completely impractical and still very cool ways?
And that is the story of Hue.
