Quickies: Trolling Ted Cruz, Black Punk Bands, Back to the Future Deepfake
- Ted Cruz Positively Outraged That The Government Would Interfere With His Reproductive Rights, Wonkette: In the time-honored tradition of trolling forced-birth conservatives by introducing legislation to control men’s reproductive rights, Alabama state rep. Rolanda Hollis has introduced a bill requiring men to undergo a vasectomy at age 50 or after fathering a third child, and Ted Cruz is pretending he’s not being trolled.
- 20 Black Punk Bands You Need To Listen To, okayafrica: “Black punks, if anything, are some of the last vanguards of a punk movement that’s been co-opted by the mainstream. They fight two battles: to create their own space inside their punk communities, as well as inside black culture. Black punks have to reconcile these cultures, and are thus more authentic, rebellious, bold and not afraid to be involved politically.”
- This Deepfake of Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland in ‘Back to the Future’ Is Unreal, Mashable: Just a fun deepfake video to distract us from the increasing danger of deepfake videos! Yeah, I know. Try to enjoy it anyway.
