A Sunday tweet from Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) showing a video of activist Ady Barkan got a "manipulated media" label from Twitter. Barkan has ALS and speaks through voice assistance.

In the video, a conversation between Barkan and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Barkan asks "But do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding?" The version Scalise tweeted edits in the words "for police," to the end of the question, words which Barkan says in a different context earlier in the video.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed in an email to The Verge that the tweet was labeled "based on our Synthetic and Manipulated Media policy." As of 10:45PM ET Sunday, the tweet with the manipulated video appears to have been deleted from...

SpaceX launches the first south-bound rocket from Florida in decades

Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:34 PM PDT

This evening, SpaceX launched another rocket from Florida, but this vehicle took a very different kind of path than most flights from the East Coast. Rather than head eastward after launch as most Florida missions do, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket headed south after liftoff, skirting over Florida's southeast coast and heading over Cuba.

That's because this mission was headed to what is known as a polar orbit — a path that runs mostly north-to-south over the Earth's poles. It's a type of mission you don't normally see taking place from Florida. In fact, this will be the first time since 1969 that a rocket taking off from Florida heads southward.

Up until now, most polar launches in the US have taken place from the southern coast of California....

New trailers: The Comey Rule, Never Gonna Snow Again, The Doorman, and more

Jeff Daniels as James Comey | Showtime

After the sad news of Chadwick Boseman's death, I planned a marathon of his movies this weekend. We're still definitely planning to re-watch 42 and Get on Up, but so far we can't stop watching Black Panther.

Boseman is just so magnetic as T'Challa and everything about the movie is as stunning on the sixth or seventh watch as it was the first time— the acting, the cinematography, the music, the costumes, and of course the script— all amazing. If you have not seen it (honestly, why?) you should absolutely remedy that as soon as possible.

In addition to four other trailers to check out this week, a bonus:

Black Panther

That's the original Black Panther trailer from 2017. The movie went on to earn a Best Picture nomination and three Oscar...

ABC will show the 2018 movie Black Panther without commercials on Sunday night, followed by an ABC News special "Chadwick Boseman: A Tribute for a King." The Walt Disney Co., which owns ABC, said in a statement that the special will "celebrate Boseman's storied life, legacy and career," and will "shine a light on the medical condition he privately battled."

Boseman died of colon cancer Friday at age 43, and according to a statement from his family, was first diagnosed with the disease in 2016.

Cloudflare said its Sunday morning outage affecting numerous websites was due to an IP outage by internet service provider CenturyLink. According to a tweet from CenturyLink, all affected services have been restored as of 11:15AM ET.

"Today we saw a widespread Internet outage online that impacted many multiple providers," a Cloudflare representative said in an email to The Verge. "This was not a Cloudflare-specific outage. Level 3/CenturyLink was responsible for an outage that affected many Internet services, including Cloudflare. Cloudflare's automated systems detected the problem and routed around them, but the extent of the problem required manual intervention as well."

Tesla rolls out software update to let its cars’ cameras see speed limit signs

Tesla is pushing a software update that will let its vehicles' Autopilot system detect speed limit signs using their cameras, Electrek reported. When the camera detects a speed limit sign, it will be displayed on the driver visualization in the car and used to set a speed limit warning, according to the software release notes.

The latest software update also adds to its traffic light and stop sign control features, and will sound a chime when your Tesla is sitting at a stoplight that turns green. It's only intended as a notification so it's up to the driver to decide whether and when to actually move the car forward.

In April, Tesla rolled out a software update in beta for its newer cars to allow them to see and respond to stop signs...
