Slightly off-topic but liberal privilege protected that SOB Robin DiAngelo who said "people of color to 'get away from White people'" while Scott Adams got crucified for it. A bunch of posters on City-Data forums spotted that detail. http://www.city-data.com/forum/poli...hite-fragility-author-warns-people-color.html

Didn't she also speak in the past of white people almost emanating a psychic energy that damages black people's psyches?

Anyway a lot of the anti-racist people talk like this, they couch in the right liberal rhetoric and now stuff like segregation is seen as progressive by many of them. But only if the black people are made to feel they're doing it on their own.

Reminds me of the black school principal that did seriously segregate the kids based on race, so that the black kids wouldn't be a minority in any of their classes.

It was a long time before covid, if I remember right, some time in the 00s. Scott had been taking about it on his blog for years (that used to be on the main dilbert.com site), unfortunately if nobody archived it may be gone forever. He had a problem with is hand (dystonia) and then lost his voice (dysphonia).

I have an update. I've been through the archives, and found that Scott got an experimental surgery for the voice thing (spasmodic dysphonia) and that was what finally cured it. If there's some demand, I'll put up some links to the archives for that particular saga (I'm busy for the rest of this week). The reason I only remembered the previous attempt to cure it (by saying "Jack be nimble, jack be quick" to himself) was that he did claim he had cured it at one point using this method, and that was when his blog was on a different site and more popular. But obviously it didn't cure it enough if he went in for the surgery.
I also misremembered where he talked about affirmations and his problem with his hand (dystonia) as being on his blog, when in fact he had an email newsletter that was archived on his site that acted as a sort of blog (and compilation of old reader's digest-style humour about the office he got via email). There's some interesting stuff on the newsletter as well. I'm not so interested in going through the archives of the post-Trump, now vlogging era, and I think others have covered this era of Scott better.

The problem is, she is somebody—and a somebody who has become extremely influential over the last few years. She's a superstar among racist Anti-racist grifters. If you didn't know who she was by the end of the summer of 2020, you weren't fucking paying attention.

Living on the ultra-progressive West Coast, I use someone's regard for Robin DiAngelo as a litmus test for whether I can completely disregard their opinions on anything else of any importance. Anybody who admits to taking her seriously, to any degree, might as well be a window-lickling retard (only the retards have the saving grace of being harmless).

That's because DiAngelo is so blatantly crazy, and so astoundingly racist in the way that only patronizing, laptop-class, white ultra-liberals can be, that anybody who has read White Fragility, or watched a lecture by her on YouTube, and didn't think, "Holy shit, this woman is completely off her fucking rocker," must be at least as nutty as she is. That, or they're too dumb to recognize she's an insane person spouting deeply racist ideas; or haven't read her books at all and just go by what others have said about them; or are too cowardly and compliant to admit they really think she's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, because everybody else in their lefty, BLM-supporting social circles seems to admire her.

As a cartoonist and livestreamer, Adams observes and comments upon what's happening in the workplace and in wider society—including DEI initiatives and mandatory indoctrination sessions—but he doesn't shape policy. Robin DiAngelo and her fellow Anti-racist cronies (who are all malignantly racist, and against black people as well as white), are the ones who create and promote those policies, and make a fortune lecturing on the necessity for DEI initiatives and mandatory indoctrination in schools and the workplace.

Dilbert is the same handful of jokes repeated cyclically, updated with whatever is happening at the time. It also reflects the Boomer mentality that all procedures are pointless, and they know better than everyone else. That said, the strip is usually better if you simply ignore the third panel.

Remember: what made Dilbert stand out is that it pointed out the flaws in corporate culture without descending into leftism. For all his flaws, Adams made an important contribution. He simply shows how things work (or don't work) within a high-tech office environment, pointing out absurdities that many encounter in their jobs. In 1989, this was ahead of its time.

I don't really agree with this. There used to be actual jokes and punchlines. What made it stand out isn't just the office setting, it's that it was actually decently funny.

Yep, she is the Pope of Antiracism. Since antiracism is a religion at this point, complete with original sin, it only makes sense to frame her in that context. Some of you may not know who she is but that doesn’t detract from her impact.

NGL, The first three panels of that first strip got a chuckle out of me. He should have stopped there, and he would have had a decent strip. But he just kept going, until I couldn't even begin to care when the "seventy versions" joke hit.

That last one is what happens when the cartoonist has been hitting the weed too hard, and doesn't stop to re-examine the strip when fully sober.

I feel like he had gotten into a funk due to his personal life (losing his voice, regaining it, commenting on politics, the canceling). So he's in low effort mode now as he's doing the strip to have a routine and relax.

It must be a bit freeing to not have to worry about any complaints about strips referencing a real world figure/organization or anything else, instead just getting to keep doing his job more like it's a hobby. I imagine it's a bit like a moment of Zen for him to just chill out doing his comic now without any stress and just chatting about whatever is on his mind with his streams.

The Sunday strips frequently seemed too long, he didn't always have a gag that could run the full length of them.

The really bad strips are when he would stretch out the gag over a few days. First day is setup, in 3 panels. Second day is 1 panel re-introducing the characters from the previous day, 1 panel restating the setup, and 1 panel adding a single line to the gag.

Sometimes he'd rinse and repeat, stretching until a punchline 5 days later. It can kill a decent idea for a joke, and I suspect it was driven by the need to fill daily quotas.

I hope he eases up on some of these newspaper-focused crutches now that he's doing his own thing. But it will probably take some time to unlearn the bad habits, if he even recognizes them.
