Panel 1:
A tech bro strides across a stage. The word
β€œPeoplBOTS” is in huge letters behind him.

He says: β€œOur journey began with a simple question:”

Panel 2
β€œCan we create a robot that is enormously powerful, but also completely safe?”

Panel 3
β€œThe answer to that question was 'No'.”
A huge red armoured metal robot trundles across the stage belching smoke. It has a flamethrower for one arm and large shears for the other. Its eyes glow meanly red. 
Tech bro announces β€œSo I give you: Dangerbot900!!”

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Scene: two teenage boys in school, in their uniforms, walking along corridor by the lockers.

BOY 1: Argh!

[We see what he is reacting to. They have seen their friend DANNY, who is a great big man with a thick neck, wrinkles, a strong jaw and nose. He is dressed in a school uniform much too small for him.]

DANNY: Hi lads. 

BOY 2: Danny... What’s happened to you?

DANNY: Yeah it’s really weird…

DANNY: I thought I was 15, but I’m actually a character in a prestige TV drama who is inexplicably being played by an adult actor?

DANNY: I think this is like, a flashback scene which explains my future story as a troubled genius.

BOY 1: But your neck is all thick
 
BOY 2: You’ve got actual wrinkles

BOY 1: You look like a massive boy

DANNY: Stop it lads!

DANNY: You are saying mean things to me  that will fuel my inner conflict and drive my narrative forward!

BOY 1: Is that a grey hair?

DANNY [running away]: SOB! 

[ends]

A few years ago, John Lithgow released a book of satirical poems about Trump and his administration. This clip is from one of his readings, and it perfectly shows how brilliant the writing is - and how much his delivery adds to it.

NATO soldiers didn’t β€œdie doing nothing.” They died honoring alliances, defending democracy, and backing the U.S.!

In actual fact they died doing what bone spurs Trump never would!

Those graves are the answer to Trumps mouth that he spewed in Davos!
