I apologize for today’s hed gif. It’s an ugly visual assault and grotesque, much like Senator Tradwife’s (Katie Britt) dishonest, bizarre State of the Union rebuttal address.
I made this thing by drawing keyframes to outline the subject’s features and then ran a program called EBSynth to generate the rest of the frames. It worked… ok. I probably could have spent more time making it prettier, but I have to admit that I already burned more hours on this than I cared to and then, because of the resulting file size, I ended up chucking a large bit of it out.
My favorite part, which didn’t make it to the header gif was Britt’s “jazz hands” moment.
I should also mention too that the garish background was generated using Cyberpunk AI. I asked for “carnival-like” and I think it got pretty close.
It made me laugh which is always a good thing. Thanks Martini for working so hard to make Tabs more enjoyable. One thing I saw from the rebuttal (could not watch the whole thing) was Britt said her most important job was being a mother. So why are you in the Senate? This sticks in my craw about Republican/Conservative women going all they way back to Phyllis Schlafly. Always yelling at the ladies who have careers while also having a career. SIGH.
It was one of my faves ever, thank you for the inside peek! Shame you didn’t have room for this jazz hands bit. The tortured overacting face is so weird. I think I sat here and watched about 100 repetitions. It’s mesmerizing - I’m pretty sure you could use it to hypnotize people.
