@firsttohearit are you illiterate

BREAKING: In a brutal moment, Xavier Becerra appears to be defending Eric Swalwell, saying "rumors are not facts." WTF?

@TrackAIPAC @evertonblairjr You people are perverse

AIPAC's 80-year-old Rep. David Scott [D-#GA13] has passed away. Support anti-genocide candidate @evertonblairjr to fill his seat!

@Jayysein He fasted for one day, not 3.

He starved himself for 3 days for this scene..

@MeghanMcCain You're too stupid to get it I'm afraid.

How is it "defending democracy" when you're cutting up a state to rig elections so poor people and republicans voices don't count? This is literally the kind of thing that starts civil wars - EXPLAIN TO ME HOW IT IS "DEFENDING DEMOCRACY"?!?

@ScottPresler Sure it is, it mandates new Congressional districts out of which Democrats could get 10 because you losers fucking lost lol

This is not a mandate. Democrats spent over $40 million.

@LisaForCongress Y'all shouldn't have tried to play stupid games in TX, now look at you. Pathetic.

Virginia tonight proved one thing: When Democrats can’t win fairly, they change the rules. That’s not democracy. That’s a power grab. Shameful.

@Manish_K85 @PpollingNumbers Votes are still coming in and the areas where they will be 'yes' outnumber what's left in areas where it will be 'no'

🔵 Breaking - the redistricting referendum has enough support to win in Virginia

@Axxeras @Gimme__Chips @gIasspigeon @emilyis_emilies Deaf people establish name signs that are usually based on a physical or personality trait of the person. Bruno's most immediately distinguishing feature is his hooded cloak, hence that being his name sign.

@Gimme__Chips @gIasspigeon @emilyis_emilies I'm NOT Deaf but iirc some people make signs to represent their names? Or something like that, like how the other commenter said that in this song Bruno has a sign for his name

i’m not deaf or know sign language so take this with a huge grain of salt: this is really cool and all but doesn’t some of the signs being obscured or off-screen kinda defeat the point?

@Gimme__Chips @gIasspigeon @emilyis_emilies At the 9 second mark she establishes Bruno's name sign (the motion of putting on a hood)

@gIasspigeon @emilyis_emilies Out of curiosity as well, I doubt every name has a specific hand motion in ASL, so how are they saying "Bruno" in the song? Are they doing a motion for the word "him" instead or something?

@emilyis_emilies I see its been explained in the comments, but I think its really wonderful these questions are being asked and more people are learning about ASL and Deaf culture

@tommyjusa @TheDemocrats Why are all you former Obama people such losers now lol

I cannot express with words how enraging this tweet is from the former DNC chair who allowed Joe Biden to run for a second term & had a heavy hand in creating the existential crisis both America & @TheDemocrats face today.

@FuckMAGAqwgl @WonderKing82 y'all are so funny lol

@LampostBob @WonderKing82 The socialist is not a viable candidate in the race

Tom Steyer who is 68 years old has a net worth estimated to be around $2 billion..... and he's endorsed by progressive socialists.... and old billionaire is their guy.... the hypocrisy and white privilege of it all.

@basedog14 @WonderKing82 I'm not talking about him, no. What a shame you don't know who is running!

@basedog14 @WonderKing82 A socialist is running right now what are you talking about

@FuckMAGAqwgl @WonderKing82 A socialist is currently running btw

@WonderKing82 Liberals still don’t understand it’s about policy. Steyer embraced full single payer. If bought and sold Karen Porter would embrace single payer in our most left leaning state she would run away with the nomination. It’s her own fault. Progressives care about policy, not identity

@Annie_Wu_22 Me when the only thing I deem to be public is X (formerly Twitter)

@nalushipfeak @Inter_Soup ASL and English are different languages. English is a second language to the vast majority of deaf people, its always better to have it in your native language. It's like having another language dubbed over, this one is just visual.

@Inter_Soup to me comes off as a waste and what was the point of having subtitles for the movie which wouldn't be a hassle since you just have to add words that the deaf can read instead of having the animators go back and animate ASL when parts of it will be missed like here.

I decided to put them side-by-side for fun

@alexhorner2002 @Inter_Soup In ASL mouth movements are part of the grammar. ASL is not English, it wouldn't make sense to mouth English over signs. Further, only about 30% of spoken English can be lip read in real life, it would probably be less in animation.

@Inter_Soup Why are they not mouthing the words in addition to the hand gestures? Wouldn’t this help people that can mouth read?

@catgirlprostate The use of the mouth is a part of ASL grammar, that is why its animated like that.

This is super cool from a representation and accessibility standpoint, but having the lyrics still be audible but the lips moving but not matching gives this such an uncanny vibe

@nymphatix @catgirlprostate You'll also have parts that don't need a translation because the animation gets the point across; for example the lyric "Bruno walks in with a mischevious grin" is happening on screen and doesn't really need to be shown in sign.

@nymphatix @catgirlprostate ASL is not a word for word translation of English. There will be parts where the singing is happening but not signing because the concept has already been expressed in ASL.
