Summary

Oscars host Conan O’Brien took a swipe at Donald Trump’s ties to Vladimir Putin while joking about Anora’s success at the 97th Academy Awards.

“Anora is having a good night,” he said of the film’s multiple wins. “That’s great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.” The joke drew loud applause.

It came after Trump’s tense meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky, where Trump compared scrutiny of his Russia ties to a “witch hunt.”

        This is about as political as he gets, so I’m hoping he’s not exactly high up on Trump’s list of “funny people that said a mean thing about me”

      He’s literally a Markov chain. The word he says next depends solely on the word that was just said. There’s no context retained, no previous information referenced, and if he goes for too many tokens, the first ones start falling out of his head.

        MAGA: We need to protect the nuclear family.

        Trump: Yes, the nuclear family. What a big, beautiful family. No one knows nuclear like me. My uncle -

          And then because he said “nuclear” without “family,” he goes off on nuclear missile silos for a while, before “nuclear missile” falls out of his context window as well, and he starts talking about grain silos and farmers. He’s a walking frequency analysis.

              Don’t disrespect the smaller models. They’re far more coherent than the douche-in-chief.

        The media is still shielding him, that’s why this hasn’t happened yet.
