Dear God, Please make them go away and face retribution as quickly as possible. Amen
An event about children and they bring out a robot. What the heck world of fresh hell. Kudos (?) I guess to all the other First Ladies for just going with it???
Ok so technically “children technology” but I don’t think bringing out the full robot woman nanny is the point here
The robot looks more human than Melania …
Right? The other ladies can laugh about it at least. T wouldn’t know the difference
Yeah I’m absolutely sure the robot is the one with a soul
This Lindy West situation is my second favorite drama this week. Anyone here to talk about that? I did watch Shrill and really liked it, but I haven’t followed her as a writer, nor am I feeling especially tempted to read her new memoir. I’m eating up the articles and comments, though.
Yea I didn’t follow her writing but have been following the story. KD on Pajiba as usual has great write ups and also wrote about the writer of Eat Pray Love (mess). It’s really sad actually. You get a sense that the first novel was about loving herself and finding love then with this new book it’s a justification for letting said person cause her a lot of pain (in excepting a poly relationship).
I must say I cannot imagine any REAL First Lady going along with this stunt. But for Melania, it’s perfect. She can walk the runway, smile fleetingly and say nothing (I’m talking about Melania). The robot does the talking and I expected it to be in Melania’s voice, which I was looking forward to, but alas, no. So what frigging sense does any of this make? None. Again, if it’s supposed to help children, does that mean human teachers (I’m a retired teacher) will no longer be needed? Robots collect no salary, get no medical benefits and no vacations. They are the ideal teachers for the administrators of any school (you know, the ones who don’t teach). And how are these robots going to interact with children? And why? Don’t humans need to interact with other humans? This is beyond me and seems (is) stupid as hell. Another distraction from Epstein? Underwhelming, but a good use of Melania’s time, since she does nothing normal first ladies would do.
Wait, isn’t the Dept of Education being dismantled? So what’s the point of a teacher robot with no one to work for? Probably just a stunt to make money.
