This is still constantly on my mind. 

Justin: When I was a kid, I would sometimes get into the deep end of a pool and I would have the thought, "What if there was a shark in here?" And then over the next few minutes of being in the deep end, that thought would, uh, gradually congeal to, "Fuck me, there is a shark in here." So if you're wondering if people are born with anxiety or if they develop it, I think you have your answer now.
Travis: So, Justin, the fact that you could see through the water didn't do anything...?
Justin: Don't matter. Don't matter, he's behind me. He's avoiding me.
Griffin: He's made of glass!
Justin: Glass shark, glass shark! Glass shark love fat kid. That's one thing about glass shark you goootta know.
Justin *in a bad accent*: Glass shark he love da fat kid. You stay out da water fat kid, glass shark come'a for you. He get you down in that bad deep water, that dark water where fat kid NO go. Glass shark come to dat dark water, he get you fat kid. You swim around, he's bitin' your trunks right off you tubby little bish. You swim all you want, flappa-flap around - Glass shark gon' come! Glass shark behind you fat kid, you gotta swiiiim. Swim faster! Pretend there's a corn dog at the end of the pool, get out dat dark water! That dark water, that glass shark comin' for you fat kid. He make you a snack! He make you a snack, he eat your brother. He don't care, he glaaass shark!
Griffin: *losing it in the background*

!!!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!! PLEASE READ VERY IMPORTANT !!!!!!!

Just a Reminder that Donald Trump is and always has been an abuser.  A third woman has now accused Mr. Trump of rape.

A woman filed a  lawsuit claiming that when she was thirteen years old she was held as a sex slave to Mr. Trump and his friend Jeffrey Epstein. The woman claimed to have a witness, “Tiffany Doe,” to the incidents. Mr. Epstein is a notorious  “billionaire pedophile” who is now a Level 3 registered sex offender - the most dangerous kind, “a threat to public safety” — after being convicted of misconduct with another underage girl.

Mr. Trump has a long history of debasing women he’s worked with, crossing the line on a regular basis. He’s taken lifelong joy in objectifying women, including his proclamation: “Women, you have to treat ‘em like shit.”

He’s also  been accused of worse than just misogynist language. Two prior women have accused Mr. Trump, in court documents, of actual or attempted sexual assault. (Mr. Trump denies all the allegations.) In fact, Under oath, Ivana Trump accused Mr. Trump of a violent rape. First was Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife, who said under oath in a 1989 deposition that he had violently attacked her, ripped out her hair and forcibly penetrated her without her consent.

fucking RIP Kotaku

I gotta agree with the jury. There was literally no point in releasing a person’s sex tape other than scoring ad revenue. Gawker deserves the financial reaming it’s getting.

And this is coming from somebody who doesn’t even like Hulk Hogan.

Why did they let him wear his do-rag in court?

Face2Face

Research from Matthias Niessner and others can alter the facial expressions on recorded video in realtime using another actor and a standard webcam:

We present a novel approach for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). The source sequence is also a monocular video stream, captured live with a commodity webcam. Our goal is to animate the facial expressions of the target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated output video in a photo-realistic fashion. To this end, we first address the under-constrained problem of facial identity recovery from monocular video by non-rigid model-based bundling. At run time, we track facial expressions of both source and target video using a dense photometric consistency measure. Reenactment is then achieved by fast and efficient deformation transfer between source and target. The mouth interior that best matches the re-targeted expression is retrieved from the target sequence and warped to produce an accurate fit. Finally, we convincingly re-render the synthesized target face on top of the corresponding video stream such that it seamlessly blends with the real-world illumination. We demonstrate our method in a live setup, where Youtube videos are reenacted in real time.
