Is it bad that I read the headline and thought “But this was the Democratic debate. What was 45 doing there in the first place?”

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature

There was something strange about everyone’s skin in all these debates. I don’t quite understand why the lighting has to be an amalgam of surgical theatre and porn set with set design from a late 2000’s gameshow that lights you from every imaginable angle, but it made everyone look like the living dead.

All broadcast digital video is filtered and simplified in the course of compressing it.

It would be interesting to see the raw camera pixels for comparison, if that’s even possible

Maybe it was a lipstick smudge that got wiped off?

Lizard people can hold their shape-shifting for limited amounts of time. Every once in a while, a scale, or feeler whisker or, in this case, a scent gland, will appear momentarily.

But Gabbard was supposed to be the token non-lizard candidate :thinking:

I’m gonna’ go way out on a limb here and say that I think that Marianne Williamson saw it and banished it to the nether- realm in the interest of fair competition and a lively debate.

We can’t have real news looking like deep fakes. It’s hard enough to tell the difference as it is.

I hope they were smoothing Eric Swalwell’s meat. I kept thinking he was just a demo model of the Chinese AI they were all having panic attacks over.

Just remember to vote for the less-wrong lizard.

Of course they did—don’t you know that the presence of a chin pimple is the decisive issue for voters? Forget policy!

Logically using that filter on Trump would make him invisible.
