This GIF is on the Washington Post home page today. Welcome to the GIF future. Maybe it’s because Jeff Bezos told them “we need to be a more internet-focused company, bring out the GIFs!”

It’s kind of weird. I’m reminded of the newspapers and paintings in Harry Potter . I found it a little off-putting when I saw that this morning.

WP has been using gifs (normally very low quality ones) for their debate coverage.

On the other hand NYT has had some beautiful high-resolution drone footage (not sure if Aleppo really counts as beautiful these days, but the video was impressive) looping on their homepage. Don’t remember if those are gifs or HTML 5 video though.

He’s too busy climbing mountains and trying to set the record for the number of times “pussy” is used by a presidential candidate in an interview with the press.
