I think the Conservative mind has a problem believing scientists can be motivated by seeking truth rather than money, so they assume the majority of scientists are swayed to fake findings to prove whatever point financially profits them.

I think that's part of their ethos.

To repeat a cliche, these are people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

It is shocking that in many cases, they pretend to have the moral high ground as "Christians"

So Scott Adams is usually not political in his cartoons (But we know he is not shy on his views). Bled over this morning

There's more and someone does a podcast about each of his comics, apparently.

That statement goes for anything published by comics.com. There are lots of non-funny people. See page 2 of this thread last time commenting on comments came up.

Started down a rabbit hole on Twitter with Trans people sharing some of their experiences with assholes who refuse to use their preferred pronouns. Infuriating and sad, I just don't know why anyone would care or feel the need to lash out.

Just saying - his son died 4 years ago or so (just looked it up).

Doesn't that correspond to when he really went off the deep end?

He’s been looney since 2015-16..

The creator of the Dilbert comic strip claims that newspapers are refusing to publish a series of his strips that poke fun at environmental, social and governance practices in the workplace – and the financial firms that push for them.

“Just learned some of the bigger newspaper groups (that own multiple papers) are censoring Dilbert this week over the ESG comics,” tweeted Scott Adams, who writes and illustrates the cartoon. “I’ll publish those comics on social media when the series is complete.”

I’m going to pre-apologize, because I can’t quite come up with the exact word I’m looking for.

You almost have to give credit, or admit that at least they’re consistent in their shitty views. Because they can sit there before they hit “Post”, and rationalize in their heads that a post like this is going to cost them future earnings, and then go through with it anyway.

Like another example is that bakery that didn’t want to bake a wedding cake for the gay couple. They could’ve stayed quiet and held their nose and just made the damn cake. But instead, they spoke out, having to know that they are going to turn off potential customers, and raised a stink. It’s something. I don’t know if it’s admirable, that’s probably not the word I’m looking for, but it’s something noteworthy.

It’s like when Arizona lost the Super Bowl about 30 years ago because they didn’t want to make MLK Day a holiday, and Charles Barkley, who recently became a Sun, replied that you’d really have to be racist to not wait a day off from work.

I think I read somewhere that that bakery picked up a lot of new business from homophobes and other right-wingers.

Adams walked the fine line for years. I wonder if he just effed up and went too far or decided it was time to give up on the day job and go full RW grifter.

[mister d]

Given that every accusation from the right is a self tell, I feel extremely confident “Soros is paying everyone” means Adams will be taken care of as he pivots even more towards bigotry.

[Shirley]

Given the extreme decline in the newspaper industry over the past couple of decades, I wonder if he doesn't really make much money from syndication anymore and felt it was worth it to torch that. Surely he knew he'd lose newspapers over that.

"By Monday, I should be mostly canceled. So most of my income will be gone by next week," he said. "My reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed. You can't come back from this."

He comes across as an unmoored douche who suffers from a malignant personality. It served him well when it was channeled as Dilbert, but he was always a prick. You just didn't hear too much about it.

[sancarlos]

20+ years ago, I worked with a guy who socialized with Adams and was (apparently) a good friend. I’ve lost touch with him, but I have to wonder what he would say about Adams, now. Because my co-worker was an open-minded, smart, liberal guy, and is married to a woman of color (Indian-American).

[DaveInSeattle]

I'm sure Adams will get a prime speaking time at the upcoming CPAC meeting.

And I would say he'll probably be featured on multiple FoxNews shows this week, but he's already a regular there.
