oh no. So anyway
Oh no! Anyway, what’s everyone having for dinner tonight?
Maybe I’ll try recreating the dillburrito in celebration
I had half a leftover cheese steak. Used the air fryer to reheat it, it made the meat and bread nice and crispy. It was better than the first time.
Leftover carne asada. And you?
We recently bought a stand mixer so we had some homemade pizza. Was really good, the dough was perfect.
I do love homemade pizza.
Dilbert was overrated as fuck
I kind of liked it for a bit. But a lot of it has to do with that the stories were actually submitted by real people, working on said field. I doubt that he has a funny bone in his whole body.

So did I. Back in the mid 1990s
Ive got just one question for you Scott.
what came first
Ranch, or Cool Ranch?
Good riddance.
More like Deadbert, am I right?
Ripbert
(The P is for piss)
“Scott Adams is dead.”
look, as an engineer, I like the Dilbert comics
but fuck that guy, and lol that he died to ass cancer
It’s always hard to separate the author and the artwork. Dilbert was great, Scott Adams not so much
Lol his website has nothing in his demise. That says something.
Also:
Why was Dilbert cancelled?
If you believe the news, it was because I am a big ol’ racist.
Context: No news about public figures is ever true and in context. Never.
If you look into the context, the point that got me cancelled is that CRT, DEI and ESG all have in common the framing that White Americans are historically the oppressors and Black Americans have been oppressed, and it continues to this day. I recommended staying away from any group of Americans that identifies your group as the bad guys, because that puts a target on your back.
That is a very rational and detailed explanation of never stepping outside your experience for two seconds. That’s kinda rare to see, usually one defeats the other.
I’ll much rather remember Scott Adams, the guy who described a Pointy-Haired Boss (for the youngsters who never read Dilbert, think of Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover days), not Scott Adams, the guy who recently desperately tried to rehabilitate the Pointy-Haired Boss character to be more reasonable. (Because that has never actually happened in the actual industry. Dilbert was meant to be a satire of what actually happens in the industry. Pointy-Haired Bosses are eternal.)
Also I never forget the experience of reading The Dilbert Principle (1996) for the first time. “Oh yeah! Most of this stuff is pretty good! Except this one about female coworkers, yeaaahhh, this is a little bit suspect.” (Again, for the youngsters, we didn’t have “sus” back in the day.) Foreshadowing is a literary device wh-
There are teo types of people. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data sets

Dang slain too soon by what many call the “third ball” aka the male G spot dang just everyone remember to get it checked out by a friend or doctor you know?
Pretty hard to live past that age when your mind goes full QAnon and you begin thinking taking anti-parasite treatment for horses is going to help overcome cancer.
I have a theory that when people get as known and rich as him, they get surrounded by a lot of charismatic people who in absence of any other notable characteristic have to promote conspiracy non-sense as their “our my exclusive network of people know this”. Because they are not accustomed to meeting people that charismatic and because what they spout generally appeals to their life experience, they just fall in love as part of these groups of crazy as if it was part of their lifestyle change.
He’s had weird problems since the 90s… focal dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, that kind of thing. I’m suspecting that those things were symptoms of more subtle neurological problems. It sounds like he’s always been a jackass, but brain damage does often correlate with swings towards conspiracy and “reactionary conservative” leanings.
1 Nazi down, 77 million to go.
Do you really think the number is that low? I’ll bet lots of Nazis have died.
I think this is the only comic Scott Adams should be remembered by. It summarizes him perfectly as a person.
Say hi to Kissinger! Oh, who am I kidding, we all know that was the first thing you did.
That’s by far the finest Dilbert comic ever, so of course it’s not from Scott Adams.
Clay Bennett makes good toons. Even the art itself is decent.
haha, the Nazi’s fucking balls got INFECTED and he DIED!
