Solar Power is Keeping Rio Dancing

In Rio de Janeiro, Shell is collaborating with startup Insolar to bring clean, affordable electricity to a local samba school. See how solar can keep the samba rhythms pumping into the night in the latest #makethefuture music video On Top of the World, featuring Brazilian superstar Luan Santana.

the fuck is this, Royal Dutch Shell?

man remember when johnsonville sausage personally attacked me

i can’t believe this

I wonder about this though, is this the actual corporate evolutionary response to people trying to challenge or capitalize on their reputation on social media, develop a counterstrike threat?

like, we laugh about how The Wendy’s Company (NASDAQ:WEN) pays one or more insult comedy writers to respond to people who criticize their brand on twitter by publicly dominating them through mockery like hecklers at a club. That is something that happens today in 2017

the thing about the deepfakes videos

(some hobbyist trained publicly available machine learning so that given an archive of celebrity photos it could paste that face into porn videos, surprised you guys weren’t more interested)

is that a face isn’t really THAT much. I guess people were photoshopping celeb faces into nude photos circa AOL (and also, photoshopping superhoeroine costumes onto them? dunno, man) and that worked

But back then there were porn lookalikes, that was maybe more of a thing, but they’d try. Like, if you really looked like ScarJo (or anywhere close), you’d come done up the Black Widow hair and outfit, not looking like a Florida sorority stripper

he says doing just the face saves cycles on a consumer rig, he does the Taylor Swift and Emma Watson ones on the same substrate and more than the body it’s weird watching them matched to the same hair

All this time Haidt’s been trying to teach liberals to broaden their minds on moral foundations

Trying to seize the “moral high ground” by turning on their own, don’t realize the hit they’re taking on Loyalty

They’re doing really good on Purity, though. The problem is, Purity was never actually a weak point on the left, it just looked that way because the language they usually used to talk about it is different from the language that rightists use.

(Except when it isn’t, eg. “gross”.)

Yeah they were already maxed on Purity. They and the NeverTrump honor guard have the sense that they can build that gauge high enough to unleash a special attack, but absolutely zero sense of what a “special attack” actually means

“the CIA is releasing tens of thousands of files and videos from bin laden’s compound today, except his DVDs of ‘home on the range’ and ‘ice age: dawn of the dinosaurs’ and his copy of final fantasy vii, because those are copyrighted” is not a sentence i ever thought i would type, but 2017 continues to be full of surprises

I sincerely apologize for spamming you all with the Hamilton fanfic controversy, but it’s really giving me so much strength. It’s been a while since we’ve had the kind of scandal that only Tumblr can provide (like the person who robbed graves; the person who mailed their toe to another person so they could make a necklace of it; etc). This scandal is just so fucking good, you know? White American college girl pretends to be a nonbinary Chinese-Pakistani Muslim human-trafficking survivor AND their American WOC wife and they live in India??? And they suffered a miscarriage? And they both have HIV? All so she can scam people out of money and amass kudos on Archive of Our Own for her Hamilton HIV fanfic? And she does this for YEARS? And the person who uncovered it is doing it for revenge because the fake-HIV-fanfic writer made them delete a fanfic about Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Jefferson as cannibal mermaids performing oral sex and unironically accused them of gentrifying cannibalism??? I mean, this shit is fucking gold.

says he’s going to give the accused a chance to reply, I suspect that’s an excuse to sequence them strung out for maximum news impact, in priority as culture war enemies

remember during the campaign that Trump’s podium had a

TEXT “TRUMP” TO XXXX

sign?

That number still blasts out like every four days, I’ve never seen anyone mention it as a communication channel tho. It’s kinda batshit multimedia direct mail fundraising, I guess for the Minion meme mom market

I had wondered how long before the “fabulous gays who appreciate pomp and ritual as a foundation of civilization” and the “Catholic restorationist” streams of the insurgent right would converge

imho, this almost confirms he leaked the emails to buzzfeed just so he could get back in the limelight in time for people to notice this interview

but yeah that too
