Linking from the right wing media thread. Tucker Carlson is really, *really* not trying to hide the mask off bigotry anymore. This poo poo's getting loving dark. This is where the Republican party is now.ZZT the Fifth posted:Honestly that screencap is just scratching the surface of poo poo Tucker apparently said last night.

Eh Reagan press sec and a buncha staffers / a few congressmen would openly laugh when reporters would try to bring up AIDS stuff and use it to poke fun at the reporter by asking why they were so curious. Happened for years.

My hot take is that it doesn't matter as much as we thought. The net effect of going from Paul Ryan's "we want lower taxes and no racism (wink)" to Donald Trump's "we want lower taxes and to do a racism" was just fewer Republican voters spraining their wrists making jerkoff motions at Paul Ryan. Actual Republican voters have been out of sync with their leaders' rhetoric for decades, so the voters just followed the radio/TV talkers. Donnie realized the gap between leader/voter rhetoric, charged in, and ruined joint center business.

He did not see a racism niche and manufactured a thought to fill it. He was and is speaking his unfiltered sewage of a mind directly, and fell rear end backwards into the fact that the universal republican voter is as racist as him. They blew the dog whistles so hard because Obama that they suddenly all heard it out loud

golden bubble posted:A reminder that unlike the US, where anyone who checks the R or D box can be considered a party member, UK parties generally only consider active members as party members. We are talking about people willing to give regular donations and show up to at least local meetings. Only about 2% of the voters are members of a UK party. These are the people who elected BoJo and Jeremy Corbyn. Think of them as the people who have shown up for at least 10 primaries in a row in the US system. Yeah you are only a party member if you join and pay a subscription. There's currently zero chance of a general election as Labour is 30+ points in the lead in opinion polls and if the Tories called an election now they would be out off office for 8 years minimum and with the probability they wouldn't even be the opposition party, the Lib-Dems would hoover up a massive number of Tory seats. It really is car crash TV, it's just a pity I am sat in the back seat of that car.

I'm interested in a preload image analysis browser plugin to try and catch these and block loading or reprocess the image to remove the issue to prevent the effect. Probably couldn't work on the app but I'm interested in potential solutions to this problem (which honestly may be beyond the scope of my programming ability or what a browser plugin can do, I've never worked on those)

Probably not but I've done plenty of hobbyist level image processing and analysis programs so what the hell I'll look into it during some free time. Going down the rabbit hole of academic papers and seeing what PhotosensitivityPal, HardingFPA, Peat and some others do. Doubt I can do better and anything I come up with may be too intrusive like default greyscaling everything, low contrast conversion when high contrast is detected, and no autoplay gifs. Maybe I'll think of something novel but I'm still reading about the academic analysis of the triggers. Spaceguns fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Oct 21, 2022 |

Discovery got CNN in their HBO/Time Warner/whatever merger. They're loving with the morning show I liked. John and Brianna have good banter chemistry. The merger also killed a bunch of stuff on adult swim, including Joe Pera. TBS lost Sam Bee, that Chad show (right before the second season was to premiere). The merger is loving awful for the consumer and a complete shitshow. The CNN+ shitshow looks minor comparatively. I'll be pissed when they nuke American Dad.

Crab Dad posted:How the gently caress do they have standing? They don't. They tried the District Court, which killed the lawsuit for standing purposes. But, this Appeals Court only has one Democrat appointee on it, so they made up an Administrative Stay that's actually a Preliminary Injunction because rules don't matter when you have the judicial votes. No debt was scheduled to be discharged anyways for quite some time, but this is a dumb, bullshit ruling that may be / may not be temporary, but right now doesn't actually gently caress with anything. https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1583589599627988992 But again, the above doesn't matter because I'm interpreting rules and these courts haven't given a gently caress about them for quite some time.
