Donald Trump Jr. delivers yet another mind-boggling self-own about nepotism

Irony isn't just dead, it's currently spinning in its grave.

Donald Trump Jr. delivers yet another mind-boggling self-own about nepotism(图1)

In what can only be described as a nightmarish case of déjà vu, Donald Trump Jr. once again appeared on Fox News on Wednesday.

And once again, the president's son managed to utter a sentence about Joe Biden's son, Hunter, that makes you question whether you're watching a real interview or a satirical sketch show.

“I wish my name was Hunter Biden,” said Don. Jr. “I could go abroad, make millions off of my father’s presidency — I’d be a really rich guy! It would be incredible!”

How is it possible for the president's son — who is executive vice president for the Trump Organization(Opens in a new tab) and who shares an actual name with the president — to say all that with a straight face?

The mind simply boggles.

    The internet made sooooo many jokes about Trumps fake news trophy tweet

    (图1)

    Perhaps the biggest bummer about Twitter's new 280-character limit is that it allows the current president to compose tweets like this one:

    On Monday morning, President Donald Trump hit Twitter to suggest a "FAKE NEWS TROPHY" for whichever news network he deems produces "the most dishonest, corrupt" coverage of his presidency. As usual, Fox was excluded from Trump's media rage.

    In the same tweet, Trump referred to himself as the American people's favorite president with a parenthetical "(me)." According the most recent Gallup(opens in a new tab) poll, the self-described "favorite" president's approval rating currently sits at 37 percent.

    Naturally the internet jumped all over Trump's first tweet of the day. Some even have a solid suggestion for Trump's proposed "FAKE NEWS TROPHY":

    Project Entrepreneur expands accelerator program to help more women entrepreneurs build scalable companies

    (图1)

    Since launching in 2015, Project Entrepreneur(opens in a new tab) — a media partner of Mashable — has trained more than 1,200 aspiring entrepreneurs representing 131 U.S. cities. Its annual venture competition has yielded an alumnae community of nearly 400 women entrepreneurs, with the 2016 finalists reporting $10+ million raised in seed and pre-seed funding.

    Now entering its third year, Project Entrepreneur (PE) — an initiative from the Rent the Runway Foundation and UBS Elevating Entrepreneurs(opens in a new tab) — is expanding the number of winning companies in the accelerator from three to five.

    “We are so excited to continue working with UBS in providing women with the tools they need to create high-growth companies, and see their visions through,” said Jennifer Hyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Rent the Runway. “Past participants in our accelerator continue to inspire us with their incredible progress, including closing rounds of funding. We are eager to provide the next class of talented female founders with the tools and support they need to scale, and to see the disruption their companies bring to various different industries.”

    PE's annual venture competition is open to female founders who are in the prototype or beta stages, have their first paying customers, or are generating revenue. The top 200 applicants will be invited to attend the PE Intensive in New York City on April 13-14, 2018, a free two-day event comprised of in-depth workshops, expert speakers and a pitch competition. The five winning founders will each receive a $10,000 grant, a spot in the five-week accelerator program at Rent the Runway’s New York office and mentorship and engagement with UBS executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. Founders interested can apply online(opens in a new tab); but don’t wait, as the deadline is December 1st!

    Last year’s winning companies included: New York-based LOLI Beauty(opens in a new tab), the first BIY (Blend It Yourself) clean and green beauty brand; Scottsdale-based The Touchpoint Solution(opens in a new tab), a neuroscience wearable that alleviates stress by altering the body’s stress response in as little as 30 seconds; and San Francisco-based Lace & Liberty(opens in a new tab), merging direct-to-consumer convenience with luxury bespoke bridalwear. Two additional New York-based companies were hosted by The Knot/XO Group Co-Founder Carley Roney and designer Rebecca Minkoff: Repeat Roses(opens in a new tab), a sustainable floral waste removal business that gives back to people and planet, and Reboundwear(opens in a new tab), athleisure wear with a purpose, respectively.

    “The caliber of companies we're seeing through Project Entrepreneur further validates what we've always believed — that there is an incredible population of talented female founders in cities and towns across the country,” said Lori Feinsilver, UBS Head of Community Affairs & Corporate Responsibility, Americas. “Being able to reach these women and provide them with access to resources and support that will help fuel their growth gives us confidence that we can indeed level the playing field.”

  • Two people trying to run the same government agency makes for a really awkward first day

    Two people trying to run the same government agency makes for a really awkward first day

    (图1)

    Revolutionaries, take note -- if you're planning a government takeover, please use high quality breakfast pastries.

    That's a lesson that White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney(opens in a new tab) apparently hadn't learned when he stepped into the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau today. He was there to take on an additional job as the agency's director.

    The only problem? The agency's acting director, Leandra English, refused to cede it to him, in the workplace drama of the decade.

    As a Trump appointee, Mulvaney wasn't exactly welcomed at at the job, so he brought crappy Dunkin' Donuts as a way to "ease" himself into an agency he's expected to destroy.

    SEE ALSO: Sorry, Cards Against Humanity can't stop Trump's wall

    On Friday, Director Richard Cordray(opens in a new tab) stepped down, leaving English to serve as acting director. Last night, English filed a lawsuit claiming that she is the "rightful acting director" of the agency. English has asked the court to impose a temporary restraining order to prevent Trump from appointing anyone, arguing that she is entitled to her position under the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform Law(opens in a new tab).

    None of that stopped Mulvaney. On Monday, the Budget Director stepped into the CFPB, ready to take on his new job.

    This is how English responded in an email sent to 1,600 staff.

    "I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. With Thanksgiving in mind, I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude to all of you for your service,” English said(opens in a new tab), signing the note with her title, "Acting Director."

    And that, my friends, is what we call a death drop.

    Via Giphy(opens in a new tab)

    Here's how Mulvaney responded:

    “Please disregard any instructions you receive from Ms. English in her presumed capacity as acting director.” Mulvaney said(opens in a new tab). “I apologize for this being the very first thing you hear from me. However, under the circumstances I suppose it is necessary. If you’re at 1700 G Street today, please stop by the fourth floor to say hello and grab a doughnut.”

    If Mulvaney, a budget hawk, thinks he can sway members of an agency whose jobs he's poised to eliminate with Dunkin' Donuts, he's out of his mind. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau(opens in a new tab) was explicitly designed to protect consumers from banks and credit card companies. Mulvaney once famously called the agency "sad" and "sick." He is not, as members of the agency likely know, their friend.

    And dude, if you're going to try and win your staff over with breakfast pastries, at least go for something slightly more delicious than Dunkin'. Some suggestions:

    • Krispy Kreme

      Entenmann's Coffee Cake

    A tourist was bitten on the leg by a crocodile on at Cape Tribulation in Queensland, Australia on Monday night, while standing on a creek bank close to the waters edge.

    A Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) spokesperson said in a statement the crocodile was estimated to be 2 to 2.5 metres (78 to 98 inches) long.

    A video posted on the Facebook page of Ally Bullifent shows the crocodile attack, which comes out of nowhere. It'll be sure to give you a shock.

    (图2)

    The EHP said it would carry out a site assessment of the area on Tuesday, and will possibly target the crocodile "for removal" as it has displayed dangerous behaviour in a designated area. This means it'll be moved to a crocodile farm or a zoo, according to the Cairns Post(opens in a new tab).

    For authorities, it also serves as a reminder about staying safe in areas where crocodiles might be around. Earlier this year, an 18-year-old boy was attacked by a crocodile while reportedly trying to impress a girl.

    England, with its quirky traditions and old-fashioned customs, is a land of endless fascination for outsiders, nominally for people from the former colony of the U.S.

    SEE ALSO: The most adorable revelations from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first interview

    So it's understandable why a town crier -- with his elaborate, red and gold robed dress and tricorn hat -- attracted people's attention on social media when he was depicted in an ABC News video as he announces the news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement outside of Buckingham Palace:

    "Oyez, oyez, oyz!" He yells in the video. "Buckingham Palace is proud to announce the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. God save the Queen!" 

    It can't get any more British than this.

    Business Insider posted a similar video, calling him "the Royal Town Crier":

    However, it turns out the eccentric guy is not officially appointed by the Queen, nor is he a real town crier. His real name is Tony Appleton, from Romford, east London, and he's been making royal announcements for years, bell and scroll on hand.

    (图2)

    In 2013, he fooled prominent American broadcasters(opens in a new tab) including Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper when he announced the birth of Prince William and Kate's firstborn, Prince George, outside St. Mary's Hospital.

    "I'm a royalist. I love the royal family," he told (opens in a new tab)AP(opens in a new tab), while acknowledging he had no official royal role. "I came unannounced."

    Still, many Americans fell for it:

    The best Maxine Waters moments of 2017

    (图1)

    2017 was the year Congresswoman Maxine Waters was elected president of All in With Chris Hayes.

    From the moment she declared that the director of the FBI had "no legitimacy" and then death dropped in front of a gaggle of shellshocked reporters, 79-year-old Auntie Maxine has had our blood loyalty. Every floor she walked on in 2017, whether it was in the Capitol or at the MTV Movie Awards, became her stage and ultimately, a property in her empire.

    More so than any other "deplorable" president with a Ziploc bag of fleas for a brain, Maxine Waters was the de facto leader of the free world/MSNBC in 2017.

    2. When she revealed that she was "never going to go" to Trump's Inauguration because, "I don't honor him, I don't respect him and I don't want to be involved with him."

    3. The time she was asked what she would do once she was done impeaching Trump, and she replied: "Impeach Pence."

    4. When she delivered MTV's first ever "Best Fight Against the System" award, did a plié, and got a standing ovation.

    5. When she tweeted that it was time for our "racist throwback" Attorney General to go back "to the plantation"

  • Facial recognition tech put his life at risk. Congress needs to act now.

    Facial recognition tech put his life at risk. Congress needs to act now.

    Earlier this year, for the first time (that we know of), a false match by a facial recognition algorithm led to the arrest of an innocent man(Opens in a new tab).

    (图1)

    Now, members of Congress are finally taking action. On Thursday, Sens. Ed Markey and Jeff Merkley, and Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Ayanna Pressley, all Democrats, introduced the Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act of 2020(Opens in a new tab). It's the most aggressive move yet by Congress to limit the use of facial recognition by police, in this case, by banning federal law enforcement from using it and cutting off state and local police from federal grants if they fail to do the same.

    That it was an innocent Black man who was falsely accused and arrested is not a surprise. A federal study published last year found that facial recognition technology misidentified Black and Asian faces 10 to 100 times more often than white faces.

    The only “evidence” against Robert Julian-Borchak Williams, according to the New York Times(Opens in a new tab), was an algorithm used by the Michigan State Police that matched his driver’s license photo with blurry surveillance footage. Police were sent to arrest a confused Williams on his front lawn, in front of his two young daughters and wife.

    After spending $1,000 on bail and 30 hours in jail, Williams was released by the Detroit Police Department. When the cops realized their mistake, the Times reports, a police officer said: “I guess the computer got it wrong.”

    Yeah, the computer got it wrong.

    George Floyd. Michael Brown. Eric Garner. The list(Opens in a new tab) of Black people killed by police is so long. Contrast that with the many incentives for people — tech CEOs hungry for lucrative contracts, politicians screaming "law and order," cops who want an easy fix — to push facial recognition technology. It's a terrifying and deadly combination.

    SEE ALSO: Trevor Noah discusses the discrimination Black people face at work

    Putting pressure on corporations alone won't fix the problem. Amazon's "moratorium" on selling its facial recognition tech to police departments is vague and only lasts a year. IBM said it won't sell facial recognition tech to police, while Microsoft said it would institute a similar ban until federal laws regulating it were in place.

    And there are plenty of other players in the industry. DataWorks Plus, which built the software that led to Williams' arrest and uses an algorithm cited in the federal bias study, says it "provides solutions" to "more than 1,000 agencies, both large and small." It doesn't have a public-facing consumer business to worry about. Neither does Clearview AI — yes, that Clearview AI, the creepy company that scraped billions of photos from social media networks without asking permission. Public outrage doesn't matter to them. They never promised to not be evil.

    That's why lawmakers need to take action. The Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act of 2020(Opens in a new tab) bans federal law enforcement from using facial recognition technology. It also prevents state and local law enforcement agencies from accepting federal grants if they use the technology.

    The Electric Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a privacy and human rights non-profit, didn't think past bills, including the recently proposed Justice in Policing Act(Opens in a new tab), went far enough to prohibit use of facial recognition technology. Jeramie D. Scott, senior counsel at EPIC, said they were "too limited in their reach" or had "wide-ranging exceptions." But it endorses the Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act(Opens in a new tab).

    So does Fight for the Future. The digital rights non-profit said in a statement the bill "effectively bans law enforcement use of facial recognition in the United States," and that Congress should pass it "soon as possible." And the ACLU says the bill "should immediately pass."

    Robert Williams survived his encounter with police. But the next facial recognition "match" might not.

  • 5 wildest moments from Trumps press conference

    5 wildest moments from Trumps press conference

    (图1)

    President Donald Trump gave a rare press conference on Wednesday, and it was ... bonkers?

    After a day filled with meetings at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump talked to reporters for over an hour, facing questions on everything from trade policy to his embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. His answers were rambling and at times incoherent, and even for those accustomed to his unusual rhetorical style, this was a wild ride.

    Here are the five standout moments:

    1. Taking aim at George Washington

    Trump didn't offer much in the way of concrete answers in response to several questions about the multiple sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, except to claim it was a "big fat con job" by the Democrats. But he did somehow manage to bring George Washington into the conversation, saying, "Look, if we brought George Washington here, and we said, 'We have George Washington.' The Democrats would vote against him, just so you understand. And he may have had a bad past, who knows? He may have had some -- I think accusations made? Didn't he have a couple of things in his past? George Washington would be voted against 100 percent by [Chuck] Schumer and the con artists."

    Did not see that coming.

    2. Lying about the allegations against him

    In the course of addressing one of the questions about the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh, President Trump was asked about his "personal experiences being accused by more than a dozen women of sexual misconduct." He snipped back, "I've been accused, and I was accused by I believe it was four women." He then claimed they were "false accusations." He finished by saying that the allegations against him that appeared in the New York Times were "fake news."

    (图2)

    For the record, he's been accused by at least 16 women(opens in a new tab).

    SEE ALSO: Trump and CNN's Jim Acosta have heated exchange over women reporters asking questions

    3. Responding to the UN laughter incident

    It's been well established that the audience laughed at him when he boasted about his administration's accomplishments during a speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump, however, disputed that assessment again during today's press conference. He explained his recollection of the incident, "They weren't laughing at me. They were laughing with me. We had fun." He added, "They didn't laugh at me. People had a good time with me. We were doing it together."

    Who knew our president had such great comedic timing?

    4. Asking the New York Times to thank him

    After a New York Times reporter said the paper was thriving -- in contrast to Trump's constant assertion(opens in a new tab) that they're "failing" -- the president replied with, "You're doing very well. Say 'Thank you, Mr. Trump.'" It was an off-putting command, especially given his fraught relationship with the press. The reporter, to his credit, quipped back immediately, "I think I'll stop short of that."

    5. "Quoting" Elton John

    As he wrapped up the press conference, Trump decided to take one last question, and said, "I always like to finish with a good one. Elton John said 'When you hit that last tune and it's good, don't go back.'" He then offered a bizarre example of how a bad encore can ruin a show. There is no public record of Elton John ever saying that, and, in fact, Elton John does believe in encores(opens in a new tab). Sorry, sir.

    Now let's all take a deep breath and wait for our heads to stop spinning.

  • Spider-Man pointing meme is now not one, but two Funko Pops

    Spider-Man pointing meme is now not one, but two Funko Pops

    Funko is well-known for turning pop culture moments into big-headed vinyl figurines, like a terrible wizard who only knows one spell. Now the company has turned its black button eyes toward the popular meme of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man(Opens in a new tab), letting you display a testament to just how online you are.

    Revealed by Entertainment Earth, the Spider-Man vs. Spider-Man Pop pack includes two largely identical Spider-Men, each with an accusatory pointer finger outstretched. It also comes with a background insert, allowing you to properly set the scene for your 3D meme.

    This isn't the first meme that has gotten the Funko Pop treatment. The company has also previously preserved Imagination SpongeBob(Opens in a new tab) making a rainbow with his hands(Opens in a new tab). However, this may be Funko's first meme two-pack.

    The Spider-Man pointing meme originated from an episode of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon, wherein Spider-Man faced off against a villain that was impersonating him. Images of the two Spider-Men pointing accusatorially at each other have since become so ubiquitous online that the scene was even referenced in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. Typically, the image is used to indicate similar people or concepts meeting.

    Trump fixer Michael Cohen pleads guilty and promptly gets roasted for his crimes

    Remember back in 2015 when Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen joked (opens in a new tab)about sending Hillary Clinton to prison?

    It's funny how things change. It now appears that Cohen, not Clinton, will be the one headed to prison. On Tuesday, Cohen reached a plea deal(opens in a new tab) in the Southern District of New York, pleading guilty on charges that include campaign finance violations from his time working on the campaign of President Donald Trump.

    According to the Associated Press(opens in a new tab), Cohen could spend between four and five years in jail.

    Between news that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax fraud and Cohen's plea, news fiends' attention was divided on Tuesday. Still, the internet found time to craft some five-star memes, GIFS, and tweets about Trump's right-hand man.

    It's all so deeply satisfying.

    America, I hope you get some sleep tonight. We've got a long panic-inducing news cycle ahead of us.

  • This clever bot turns Reddit arguments into video game scenes

    This clever bot turns Reddit arguments into video game scenes

    There's plenty of drama on Reddit, but it's not often that drama gets to play out on the screen.

    (图1)

    Until now, at least.

    On Sunday, 24-year-old software engineer Micah Price from Cape Town, South Africa, unveiled what can only be described as a niche-but-genius creation: a bot that takes everyday arguments on Reddit and has them play out in the style of scenes from Ace Attorney, Capcom's animated courtroom-based video game series.

    The end result is a gloriously dramatic affair that shines a whole new spotlight on Reddit's comment section. Price's video was shared on Reddit's r/Videos sub(Opens in a new tab) shortly after it went live on YouTube, and at the time of writing it's racked up over 21,000 upvotes.

    Price told Mashable he's always been a fan of Ace Attorney, which sees players taking on the role of defense attorneys who must carry out investigations to protect their clients (the game's episodes culminate in a courtroom trial where you have to cross-examine witnesses and present evidence to a judge). Price got the idea for the bot from other meme-based videos of the game on YouTube.

    "The dramatic music is great," he said, "especially for the melodramatic debates on Reddit."

    Even better, everybody can join in the fun — all you need to do to trigger the bot is add "!objectionbot" or "!objection-bot" to a Reddit comment on certain supported subreddits (you can view the full list of those here(Opens in a new tab)). The bot then scans the thread, finds the top commenters, and turns their discussion into a YouTube video that's then automatically linked to in the thread (the "objection!" graphic happens when a comment has a negative score, or if the bot's neural network detects the tone of the comment to be negative).

    Price said the whole thing took him about three days to put together. "I wasn't sure if it would be popular so didn't want to spent much longer on it," he said. "I used Python and a bunch of computer vision and machine learning libraries. It's uber buggy at the moment, though."

    And as for the bot's future?

    "I'll see how it goes," said Price. "Only costs me $10 a month to run so no harm leaving it for a couple months. If it's anything like my other side projects I'll just end up abandoning it though. Although maybe someone else will pick it up, it's open source(Opens in a new tab)."

    No matter what lies ahead for objection-bot, it's ripples are already being felt throughout the Reddit-sphere. Godspeed.

    24 of the spiciest emoji for when you definitely mean masturbation

    May is National Masturbation Month, and we're celebrating with Feeling Yourself, a series exploring the finer points of self-pleasure.

    There's something inherently a little silly about using tiny cartoon images to simulate sexual acts.

    But we all know the usual sexting suspects by now — eggplant emoji, peach emoji, pointing finger at OK hand symbol emoji. Yawn. Where are the quality masturbation emoji?

    The world's most recognizably phallic veggie may still reign supreme, but it's time to retire the ol' eggplant for a while. It's time to use other elongated food items — may we suggest the banana? Or maybe a bit of meat?

    And there are also so many options for vaginal masturbation! All you need to do is get a little creative.

    To help you out, we've compiled some emoji that are perfect for subtly sexting your date, having a laugh amongst friends, or quickly alerting your roommate to steer clear of your room for the next hour.

  • Trudeau, Johnson, and other NATO leaders caught on video apparently gossiping about Trump

    Trudeau, Johnson, and other NATO leaders caught on video apparently gossiping about Trump

    For anyone whose job is to keep a straight face around Donald Trump, dozens of private conversations such as these must happen every week, and in much stronger language. But to catch world leaders apparently sharing a laugh over the president's foibles is rare.

    (图1)

    This video, from the reporting pool via the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, shows Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, British PM Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Dutch PM Mark Rutte alongside a stiff bouffant appearing to belong to HRH Princess Anne. The group are enjoying a drink and a chat at a Buckingham Palace reception after the day's formalities at the NATO summit in London.

    The video is low on context, but the leaders appear to be having a good chuckle about Trump's press conferences earlier in the day, which saw contentious moments between Trump and the Canadian and French leaders.

    "Is that why you were late?" Johnson asks Macron.

    "He's late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top," interjects Trudeau cheerfully.

    In another part of the conversation after a cut in the video, Trudeau can clearly be heard and seen saying "You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor."

    Macron and Princess Anne both lean in for a chat too, although their comments don't carry to the pool camera operator's mic, and are sadly likely lost to the news ether.

    Commentators from New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman to former government staffers noted how extraordinary it was to actually see world leaders who should be the POTUS' peers bitching about Trump over a beer. It was as though they were at Friday night office drinks and Trump was the guy who talked over everyone in meetings.

    Others just enjoyed the gossipy vibe of Trudeau's ribbing.

    It's worth noting that in years gone, despite his own Trump comparisons, Johnson had strong words about the now president.

    And while neither Princess Anne or Macron's comments are audible in the video, it's hard to imagine Monsieur Le President wouldn't need a good-natured vent after a day like this.
