Ooh present-tense anymore! Really don't see that very often, but it's got a nice ring to it

Edit: it's a positive anymore not present-tense. Thank you @oktux@lemm.ee!

Can you explain please ? I don't understand their sentence as it is. What's surprising to me isn't the present tense, it's the fact that it isn't negative.

It sounds odd to me too, but I found a wiki article on it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_anymore
