Catbert plays the world’s tiniest violin

Oh Scott, you really ARE declining fast if you think Mushroom Cock either knows or cares who you are or that he will do anything for you. What’s in it for him to do that? And who the fuck are YOU that you think you deserve direct help from Krasnov (assuming he could give it anyway)? I’m sure you’re hardly the only person Kaiser are screwing over at the moment, you don’t have any more right to live than those people…

Elon Musk backs Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams following racist tirade

Elon Musk has deployed his 130 million-follower Twitter bullhorn to come to the rescue of a beleaguered cartoonist dumped by hundreds of newspapers across America for having delivered a virulent racist tirade.
The Twitter and Tesla chief responded with his own controversial thought stream over the weekend after the mass termination of the Dilbert comic strip from US newspaper titles. Its creator, Scott Adams, recently denigrated Black people as a “hate group”, advising white people to “just get the hell away” from them.
“The media is racist,” was Musk’s response to the widespread decision to terminate the Dilbert strip. “For a very long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites and Asians.”
He went on to compare US media with elite educational institutions in America where he claimed the “same thing happened”.
It was also reported that Musk deleted a tweet in which he responded to a comment from Adams about his comic strip being dropped, saying, “What exactly are they complaining about?”

Yeah, when you’re in a racism controversy for calling black people a hate group, I feel like having a white man born in South Africa during the Apartheid era defending you for being racist isn’t the best look… But if we’ve learned nothing else about Elon Musk since he took over Twitter, it’s that caring about optics isn’t his strong suit, otherwise he probably wouldn’t have done this:

One of Elon Musk’s most loyal Twitter employees has lost her job amid a fresh wave of brutal lay-offs.
In November, Twitter product manager Esther Crawford – who led the controversial Twitter Blue subscription service – went viral after sharing a picture of herself dozing in a sleeping bag on the floor at Twitter HQ.
“When your team is pushing round the clock to make deadlines sometimes you #SleepWhereYouWork,” she tweeted at the time.
The photo generated a huge amount of interest, with many blaming her for supporting a “toxic” workplace, and others claiming she’d soon lose her job anyway, given Twitter’s recent lay-off blitz.

The latter were correct, as 200 Twitter employees (about ten percent of the ones who haven’t lost their jobs yet) got the axe the other day and Esther’s efforts for Elon were rewarded by him including her in the cull. Quoth Esther herself on Twitter:

Well, fair play to her if she thinks it was still worth it, but looking at it from those sidelines she mentions… it really wasn’t, Esther. Your devotion to Glorious Leader got you nowhere in the end, you were just as expendable to Elon as the thousands of other erstwhile Twitter employees he’s cut since taking over Twitter. Not going to celebrate you being out of work, but also let’s not pretend you meant anything to him…

Dilbert down the drain

A few months ago, the comic strip Dilbert was dropped from publication by 77 American newspapers. This news came as a shock, because who knew there even were still 77 newspapers left in the US? Anyway, news has further come through that a bunch more newspapers have dropped the strip, leading us to the inevitable if baffling conclusion that there must actually be more than 77 newspapers in the US, and a bunch of them were still printing Dilbert for some reason. The 21st century is confusing, isn’t it?

Also sprach USA Today:

Interesting use of the word “recent”, implying that USA Today didn’t have a comparable problem with discriminatory statements Scott Adams has made before this latest outburst he had about black people. There seems to be some debate about exactly how and when Adams (who once described himself in 2017 as “left of Bernie Sanders”, according to his Wiki entry) turned into a complete shithead, but the fact that he has been one at least since the Trump candidacy is clear.

Wiki points us to this old blog entry where he claims he was getting death threats for daring to say nice things about Trump while living in California, so he publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton to shut people up while nonetheless claiming in said blog post that the latter was driving the country to all-out race war. And then he overcame his terror of these alleged death threats by endorsing Trump again a few months later and descending into abject stupidity and saying shit like a Clinton victory would mean there would never be another male president. Just like Jodie Whittaker ensured Peter Capaldi would be the last male Doctor…

…Oh. Well, what about this prediction?

Well, unless the Lamestream Media is doing a really good job of hiding things, most of America survived 2021 and police funding went up. And Scott evidently mistook a movie plot about the elites hunting working class people as actually being a blueprint for what liberals want to do to conservatives in reality.

I took the above screenshot myself, incidentally, on this 25th day of February 2023 CE; not only is Scott Adams wrong about shit like this, he’s happy to leave evidence of his wrongness up for future generations to behold… and then to be wrong about it again:

If at first you don’t succeed, eh. Worked so well for Harold Camping and William Miller, didn’t it? Of course, there’s a good chance lots of people will be dead by the end of this year, too—living people do have a tendency to stop living at some point after all—but I suspect few if any of those deaths will be directly attributable to Sleepy Joe…
