Our next president? Or presidents?
I‘ve been using Google’s Deep Dream software (via Dreamscope) to conduct research into the mystery wrapped in an enigma held desperately in place with hairspray that is Donald Trump’s hair
My conclusions: It’s not a wig, nor is it an elaborate combover.
It’s DogSlugs, mostly. And eyes.
His face is kind of messed up, too.
Then again, that’s pretty much the result I get every time I use Deep Dream to research anything.
More Trump research after the jump.
The Donald’s hair in a stiff wind.
More trouble with wind!
He’s got it under control here. I think. Actually it looks a little mad.
Sometimes he gives up and just wears his bird hat.
Now he seems to have turned into a potato. Can potatoes be president?
Of course he can’t be president! He’s a potato from Potatostan! Where’s the birth certificate?! *rabble rabble rabble*
Unrelated note, but Davis Aurini just went on Matt Forney’s show and tore into Jordan Owen. Aurini even said Owen “wishes he were me.”
David – Are you being held hostage by Deep Dream?
Blink 5 eyes for “Yes”, 10 for “No”.
David, are you okay?
Long-lost brothers?
Well DUH, nobody’s okay after contact with the Trump Tribble.
@Miss Andry:
Well, that was disgusting. “Stay classy” indeed. What could be classier than responding to accusations of lying and manipulation than going on a show to lie and manipulate and call your partner a “shitting r****d?”
The real documentary is in the making of the Sarkeesian Effect. I hope Jordan gets the courage to back out of the project entirely and hand it over to Davis. Davis is going to produce a pile of shit while bilking GGers out of even more cash, and Jordan will be able to distance himself far, far away from a terrible human being.
As for the OP, I’ll just… pretend Trump’s hairdo hasn’t gained sentience and is watching me while I sleep with one of its hundred unblinking eyes.
I knew I shouldn’t have drunk that peyote tea so early in the day…
Iä Iä Trump fhtagn!
On the potential good-news front:
http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2015/07/16/interesting-new-lawsuit-over-same-sex-partner-benefits/
TL;DR version:
Since Wal-Mart would cover a woman’s husband, this lawsuit says they need to cover her wife, too, based on anti-gender-discrimination laws, which are both federal and use a stricter standard than anti-gay-discrimination laws.
There is a downside, of course, and that’s that conservatives would press even harder against laws barring gender discrimination because of this, but honestly, I’m not sure how much harder they CAN push without repeating the debacle that led to Obama’s re-election. (Ie, the Democrats had enough ammo to make the War on Women accusation stick, because the GOP candidates and pundits were so blatant in their misogyny.)
So I guess the question is: does Trump rule the slugdogs, or is he a being made of slugdogs sent to take over the human race one country at a time, but they got all their political arguments from racist subreddits?
And when are their lifelong enemies, the snailcats, showing up to stop this madness?
For all those concerned, this will be my last Deep Dream post,
(Well, unless I come up with some other super kewl idea for one. But honestly the “turning everything into slubdogs” thing is losing some of its novelty for me, and obviously its worn out its welcome with a lot of you all.)
I cannot guarantee that I won’t use deepdream to enhance a pic of some manosphere dude I’m writing about, though probably in a much more subtle and less dog-filled manner
Also, I listened to that Aurini and Matt Forney last night. It was 45 minutes of really vicious character assassination and internet diagnoses; Forney repeated his claim that Owen is an Elliot Rodger waiting to happen. Aurini explained that no one should ever trust a “guy who can’t get laid.” Both Aurini and Forney are really abusive little shits; though that’s not exactly news, their nastiness in that podcast is still a little shocking.
This is why I am going to vote for Donald Trump. Well not for Donald Trump, but for his hair. That’s got to be an intergalactic brain slug. And if a being is capable of interstellar travel, and can survive on that noggin, it’s capable of anything.
kirbywarp:
Well, one terrible human being, sure. But wherever Jordan goes, there’s a terrible human being precisely zero distance from him.
I think the potato is just another one of his disguises. We all know he’s really a pod person.
Oops, forgot to include a caption – that thing is from a movie called the Pod People and is named Trumpy.
It’s been obvious for years that Trump is one of those interdimensional shapeshifting alien people. I always thought they were more lizard-like though.
This post had me laughing mostly because I think David has been taken over by his obsession with Deep Dream.
@kirbywarp Just got down to the part where they both get all snide with themselves about Jordan Owen not being able to take a ribbing. Aurini has a cheek considering he throws hissy fits whenever anyone rightfully points out that everything he’s made is awful in everyway. Then again I’ve always founds those kind of bullies are paper thin-skinned when insulted back.
Also ‘As Aurini put it, Owen is “the Dunning-Kruger effect manifest”’ even though unintentional and completely lacking in self-awareness is one of the best and most succinct take downs of Aurini I’ve read yet.
Damn, I’m going to have to try your Deep Dream source. Mine haven’t been as satisfying…

And you… haven’t?
SFHC, applause!
Tabby, the trick to getting truly warped deep dreams is to run your results back through the deep dream filter (or various deep dream filters) numerous times. The site I use is really quick with the results, so it’s only mildly tedious. At least if you’re sort of addicted to deep dream.
Yutolia: One of my favourite MST3K lines: “Trumpy, you can do stupid things!”
Oh, that works nice! My zebra photo through two different Deep Dream sites…

@SFHC
That’s the best. You always make the BEST gifs.
RE: Aurini, Owen and whoever
WILL PEOPLE STOP MAKING ME FEEL SORRY FOR FUCKING OWEN ALREADY? HE DOESN’T DESERVE THIS SHIT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF A DICK HE IS BUT ARRRRRGHJHFKJHASDFKLH!
I decided to give deepdream my Mum;s dog:
Everything is a dog
Last one. This is pretty much the internet.
Of course the US can have a potato for President – you have already had 2 Bushes, and that turned out just great!
So Donald Trump’s hair is a Great Old One? Donald Trump’s Hair for President! Let’s start a petition.
Let’s do it. We can call it The Snark-eesian Effect.
@SFHC:
Wait, he’s A SPIRITOMB?! WHA– THIS IS WORLD NEWS!
Also… I knew it. His hair is an alien lifeform. I knew it. Everyone I knew laughed at me when I said it, and I’ve proved them all wrong! I should get my own hour long special on History 2 or something about this!*
*won’t get special, because who the heck’s going to watch something about alien hair for an hour?
The secret’s out!! It’s a fold-over! You too can rock the Trump Flump!

@SFHC:
That Portal 2 gif is amazing! 😀
@Holytape
Damn it. I totally want to write-in “Donald Trump’s Hair” now, but I’m in a swing state (okay, so my state has gone blue for like 2-3 decades now, but it’s usually just barely), so I need to vote for the not-a-complete-and-utter-asshole candidate… or, with any luck, a candidate I actually sort of approve of!
It just occurred to me whilst doing the washing-up… What if Deep Dream is not about developing pattern-recognition AI, but really just Google trying to create a pre-emptive defense against the inevitable sentient robot uprising? Cause the misandroids to hallucinate and knock out all their targeting parameters!
Shut up, it could happen!
That reminds me… I must read “The Invisibles” again
Screenshot because the potatoupee has already deleted it and blamed an “Intern,” but notice anything strange? For example, the Nazi soldiers?
What’s better than Donald Trump’s hair? Donald Trump’s hair on cats.

So can we talk about how he literally said that Mexico is “sending” rapists ad murderers…?
@KL
Yeah, but SOME are good people. SOME.
Whoaaaa. None of my pictures through dreamscope look this cool or even remotely so distinct. What is your secret? Are you running them through multiple times?
Ah right the femitwats think Trump is bad. Of course he is bad for you types. He’s not into the social lazy like you. He doesn’t buy into victim theory you’re so fond of. And he sure isn’t going to take the shit lies you fucks spread around. Shake in your panties femitwats, you’re days are numbered.
@kp of course you support Trump, bigots like to stick together. Can’t wait for the Democrats to demolish him 🙂
How did you know The Social Lazy was my favorite indie rock band?
Thank you for your visionary research and for answering long-held questions of my brain place. I feel strongly that several important peer-reviewed journals as well as the Union of Concerned Scientists should be made aware of this breakthrough immediately.
