RIP Scott Adams

Scott Adams: 8 June 1957 to 13 January 2026.

I loved his Dilbert cartoons, when I was working in the insanity that was (is?) info tech. He captured the insanity on most days, and was perfect in a couple of instances. I particularly liked this example from 1994.

I started by reasoning that anything I don't understand is easy to do.

The Legacy Media Notices Inflation

Now that there is no longer a Democrat in the White House, economics is suddenly a thing at the AP. From ArtistAngie at Twitchy we get this: Forget Wings, Pass the Broccoli! AP Article Suggests Trump Tariffs Are Super Bowl Snack Spoilers

We have reported on some dumb things from Associated Press articles, but this one may be the winner of the dumbest of the dumb things. In a bold move that has left football fans and snack lovers alike scratching their heads, the Associated Press suggests a drastic twist to your Super Bowl spread: swap those crowd-pleasing chicken wings for, wait for it … BROCCOLI!

Yes, you read that right. They are proposing BROCCOLI to replace wings and if you read through the article they imply that food costs are high and will be higher due to Trump's tariff proposals. *insert eye roll* Only our mainstream media could propose something so stupid and try to blame the stupidity on a President who has not even been in office for a month!

Read the whole thing.

Leftist Pepper Sprayed Pregnant Comedian

This is the tolerant Left in action. Chrissie Mayr Attacked After Comedy Show - Geeks & Gamers

I'm sure the Leftist who was 'offended' by the words uttered by Chrissie is sure they were being stunning and brave.

Unfortunately, the practice of attacking comedians over their jokes seems to be gaining traction. On February 24, 2024, Chrissie Mayr, who is known for her edgy brand of comedy, finished a performance at The Dojo of Comedy in Morris Plains, New Jersey, and while she was attending a meet and greet, someone assaulted her and some attendees with pepper spray and ran away. In an X post, which you can read below (if you’re unfamiliar with Chrissie Mayr’s humor, she uses some words that may offend you, so read with caution), she says that everyone appears to be okay, thankfully. Also, aside from this being a horrible thing to do to anyone, bear in mind that Chrissie Mayr is pregnant.

Chrissie Mayr is 7 or 8 months pregnant. And the Stunning and Brave Leftist - who didn't have the guts to be a heckler during the show - just sprayed pepper spray and ran away. So stunning, but maybe not so brave.
