his regime are doing as anything but satire - but satire turns into horror mixed with all the real harm Trump and those around him are doing.

So much that's laughable, and so much that's tragic.

The same is true of most of our media, these days.

And the same is true of the tech lords, and especially the AI bros.

Assuming these psychotic clowns don't destroy society and the planet before they're removed from power, the historians writing about this era - the Era of Insanity, the Era of Stupidity - are going to have so much to try to explain.

The WTF era of Trump, Fox News, and the stupidest and most harmful tech ever, generative AI.

And if we can't stop them, we're likely to end up with a society where no one can read books, and most people are kept distracted playing like children generating AI slop while the AI companies tell them how creative they are.
