Good lord.

Well, it is true that Milbank hasn’t put that pass to any useful purpose over that entire time…

Stanford engineers make editing video as easy as editing text

A new algorithm allows video editors to modify talking head videos as if they were editing text – copying, pasting, or adding and deleting words.

Well we’re fucked.

Ok, more fucked.

That is amazing and very scary.

One of the best, wittiest follows on twitter is gone. Didn’t know he was ill, he never let on.

Jesus. How old was he? He looks young in the photos. That’s awful.

Young. Too young to have died of colon cancer sadly. Or at least seems so. The pictures of his family and children and new puppy are heartbreaking.

Here’s the cartoon they’re talking about:

Editorial cartoonists have been losing their jobs for a while now, as newspapers try to stay afloat in the digital age, but there are also a few losing their gigs to trends like this. Rob Rogers was recently canned from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for not kissing Trump’s ass, and immediately replaced with Steve Kelley, who is only a step above Ben Garrison’s level of bootlicking.

Less “international” and more “international jew”. That’s cartoon is pure Stormfront.

Lol.

My god is this good.

The Dems had a debate. So naturally the WaPo headline must be " Democratic divides take center stage at first debate," because DEMS IN DISARRAY!!!

If Dems got together to play board games, the headline would be DEMS GO AFTER EACH OTHER EXPOSING DEEP RIFTS.

The headline for the first GOP debate in 2015, on the other hand, was the much more circumspect “Republican debate veers between two subjects: America and Trump” - even though the body of the text (and hindsight) makes it clear that the more accurate headline would have been TRUMP COMPLETELY DOMINATES FIRST DEBATE.

I don’t recall any debate, ever, where Trump dominated anything. His performances were universally terrible.

They were; he was horrendous in the debates. However, the news media couldn’t stop themselves from talking about him over and over and over again, making it a “win” in that specific sense of the word.

The problem was an almost universal failure to recognize that the traditional idea of a debate “win” did not apply to a sector of American voters. Policy, facts, and even being photogenic didn’t matter. It was juvenile zingers, insults, and acting like the buffoon at the end of the bar that counted.

Yeah. He stooped to calling his opponent “a nasty woman”. He loomed like a creep behind her whenever she was speaking. He sniffed loudly into the mic for hours. He openly indicated on camera that he wouldn’t step aside if he lost the election. He blatantly asked a foreign government to help him against his opponent.

All of these things should have been a disaster, but turns out America is full of assholes who don’t understand the difference between voting for President and texting your vote to 54872 (message and data rates may apply!).
