> [@Spiderman](#): > > I thought his speech was technically awful. His tone was flat & he put unnatural pauses in it like he was pausing at the end of a line of text rather than a comma or a period. He’s been president for three years & was a TV star before that yet he sounded like a school student being called to the front of the class to read a random passage out loud. I’ve seen news footage from his various rallies; he’s much more animated & his speech flows better there. Is he _never_ following a teleprompter then? Did he not go over the speech a few times before he read it or was that his first time reading it? It sure sounded like the latter. That’s always been the case. At his rallies he just riffs on whatever pops into his head - dishwashers, the Oscars, you name it. So the content is completely bonkers, but he sounds animated and human. When he reads off a teleprompter, he’s terrible. I’d say he sounds robotic but Alexa sounds more human than he does. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > He’s been president for three years & was a TV star before that yet he sounded like a school student being called to the front of the class to read a random passage out loud. As people have noted, there’s manic rally Trump and downer teleprompter Trump. In many other situations, like when talking about the coronavirus or other subjects he doesn’t comprehend, I’ve always thought Trump has sounded like a middle school student giving to the class a book report on something he hasn’t read but he’s so narcissistic he believes they will believe his bullshit: Trump: “The book I read is called _To Kill a Mockingbird_. It’s about this _scout_ who is in a _race_ to find and _kill a mockingbird_…” ---

Well, I used to say he’s pissed me off by still breathing, and I guess that’s still true. But since he’s made so many stupid statements about the coronzvirus I’d like to see him test positive. ---

I’m pissed off at Trump for going on national TV and flat-out lying about this pandemic. I’m also pissed off at the House of Representatives for not impeaching him for that stunt. ---

I was listening to the Science Friday podcast today. They did a piece on mental health problems among farmers, and how stressed they were about the current economic conditions that apparently aren’t all that good for farmers, with rising bankruptcies and tariffs and stuff. I’m afraid my reaction was to turn it off, saying to myself, “To hell with you, you got what you voted for.” What pisses me off here is that President Chump is causing me to really despise people who were stupid enough to support him. I don’t like feeling that way. ---

I don’t like feeling that way. Both your reactions–despising those who helped make Trump President, and disliking despising them–are perfectly reasonable, in my view. As our species developed, those with the capacity to negatively judge those who endangered the entire group, were more likely to survive and reproduce. So you come by this distaste for the careless and stupid among us quite naturally. ---

I don’t like feeling that way. Funny - I was just thinking about Science Friday the other day. I haven’t listened to it in years, and was thinking I should probably add it back into my podcast queue. The reason I was thinking about it was because of a piece they did years ago when the serious anti-vax movement was gaining steam. The interview was with, I’m pretty sure, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and they took listener questions. An anti-vaxxer called in and was trying to argue her position in the face of the good Dr. Fauci’s facts. At one point, Ira Flatow asked the caller, “is there anything Dr. Fauci could say that could lead you to change your mind.” The caller just flat-out said, “no,” and the conversation ended. I feel the same way about the anti-vaxxers and this caller as you and I do about these farmers, and I similarly feel bad for feeling this way about them. ---
