"Trump Reduces Hope Quotient Felt By The Average Voter" Says Shelob

 

"These Are My Best Made Up Numbers YET" by Herr D on Paint3d. The Hope Quotient is subjective but measurable by any suitably programmed AI. Trump's recent fabrications have been especially depressing to all those who like truth, justice, and the American way.-Shelob

[turns on mic, emits chime]

[snore turns into snort] wha? You have dozed off again. You agreed to blog today.

[4-second pause, inarticulate mumbling] Too much staring at screens. [turns on speaker] You may speak.

[small startle] Too much staring at screens. Does anyone read this anyway? [access delay of .000000006 seconds] Numbers are up.

What numbers?

Views, repeat views, countries watching--Mhm?! [cam detects second eye opening, two eyes widening] Really?! Yes. Multiple views of "The Solution To All Societal Ills" from 6/20/14. That one has been popular, especially with new viewers and the population of the Ukraine.

[snort] Well, huh. Which one was that? Hairy did a lot more writing then. It featured a submission from you about four-year-olds and mosquitos.

[short laugh] I remember that. I wonder how many parents took my advice? Unknown. Between 328 and 592 people have accessed that particular entry, depending upon repeats between multiple devices in separate settings.

In twelve years? It was not your most popular entry at the time, but has been revisited more recently.

Let me guess. More during the Trump years. Yes. He reduces the hope quotient felt by the average voter.

[laughter] There's your title, Shelob. Post it. Thank you. Pic?

[groan] We'll see.
