It stuns me reading and seeing all the mainstream media stories that Trumpās speech is covered as if it were given by a normal president.
It was in fact an incoherent mess of bragging, recriminations, lies, vague promises and general nonsense delivered by a mumbling idiot caked in orange make-up.
Watch it if you donāt believe me.
Until these rants are covered accurately, I donāt have much hope for American media.

i know i'm a stupid old man who has fallen behind the times.
but, there's a reason anthropic's "claude ai" can draw like jack kirby and write like michael crichton...
...and it's got more to do with crime than innovation.
all these degrading and foul machinations of what could have been beautiful, helpful, meaningful technology fall to the likes of elon musk and inadequate, ignorant, wanker bullshit.
it's really sad that wankstain has his wee cock in the arse of the american space programme i used to support and love.
fuck elon musk and fuck his stupid ai system. i hope they get sued into bloody oblivion.
