maybe it’s bc i’m a big golf fan, but this infuriates me. you realize presidents and athletes go to other sporting events too… who cares?
I’m not a golf fan. It’s not just you. This is obnoxious.
Screw the social election. This is the animated election. Quote from the inbox:
“Our research indicates that most Americans now consume their hard news in the form of animated GIFs,” notes Tumblr editor-in-chief Chris Mohney, “and we take the potential of legitimate GIF journalism very seriously, as should anyone still working in the old-school blog-focused model of reporting.”
LIVE-GIFFING THE 2012 DEBATES!
This Wednesday evening marks the first presidential debate for the 2012 American elections. Elevating the discourse as only Tumblr can, we’ll have a crack team of GIF artists cranking out instant animations of the best debate moments, from zingers to gaffes to awkward silences. Flooding the GIF zone will be our own Topherchris, as well as Bobby Finger, Lacey Micallef, and Mr. GIF. And joining us to further enhance our coverage will be the fine folks at the Guardian, whose liveblog will bring you the full stories behind the GIFs.
The place to take it all in will be the purpose-built Gifwich live-GIFfing blog. Fair warning: Follow Gifwich at your own risk! After all, once each debate begins, your Dashboard could be flooded with animations on a minute-to-minute basis. Your mileage may vary, but if you prefer to just sample the flow, perhaps check out Gifwich directly during the debate and reblog your favorites piecemeal. You can even sample curated real-time selections from the Guardian’s liveblog or Tumblr’s official Election blog.
All debates (and our Gifwich GIF coverage) begin at 9pm Eastern Time:
- Wednesday, October 3 - Presidential debate on domestic policy
- Thursday, October 11 - Vice-presidential debate on foreign and domestic policy
- Tuesday, October 16 - Presidential town meeting on foreign and domestic policy
- Monday, October 22 - Presidential debate on foreign policy
I read this the other day on the metro. Gasped out loud. you’ll see why.

The economy of hugs:
How much is a presidential bear hug worth?
by @ericglazer and @jontilton
When Scott Van Duzer welcomed President Obama to his pizza shop Sunday with a massive bear hug, a social media surge surrounded his restaurant, Big Apple Pizza. Apparently Scott, who is a registered…

Feeling bitter about the political climate? Watch this beautiful reminder by my colleague A.J. Chavar that the parties aren’t so different, after all.
Maybe bookmark it. You’re going to need it over the next two months.
I hope this is true …
