Scott Adams goes off the Deep End

Disclaimer: I actually find Dilbert (the strip) to be funny. Sometimes it's funny because depicts the foibles of incompetent management; sometimes it's funny because Adams is butthurt about women or something, and isn't hiding it very well. It helps that it costs me nothing but a couple of seconds.

Dilbert the TV show, on the other hand, sucked. Sure, it had moments when the "edgier" (childish) humor worked; for example there was a "corporate carnival" that had not a kissing booth, but an "ass kissing booth," which got a snicker out of me. But most of it was dreadful.

Well, Scott just went on Twitter to snivel that it was cancelled because Scott Adams is a white man, and whitey don't get no fair shake in this world. And then the rest of the universe took his sorry ass to school.

The replies--and Adams' whiney responses--are funnier than Dilbert has ever been. This guy sums up my feelings best:

Can't even process the anti-maskers' anti-logic. Just can't.

Seriously, "medical tyranny"? That's moronic, even for an alt-right turd like Garrison.

The entire thread is loaded with responses by fools seeking out any excuse, any word-twist to justify their idiocy.

EDIT: Wow. Via C&L: "I will not be muzzled like a mad dog!"

Gohmert causes idiotic disruption

You already knew he was a petty little scumbag, but this will still floor your jaw. Even as he's being told to knock it off, he continues banging his ring on the dais while holding his other hand up in a "whaaaaat?" gesture.

Scott Baio Movie Shut Down for Not Following COVID-19, Child Safety Rules

Now we wait for the inevitable "teh liberulz iz owt 2 git me" whinge!

via Deadline:

SAG-AFTRA has pulled the plug on a movie called Courting Mom & Dad, accusing the producers of having “failed to comply with LA County Health Orders and SAG-AFTRA protocols in connection with COVID-19 as well as California regulations related to minor performers.”

The film, from Revenge Movies LLC, stars Scott Baio and Kristy Swanson as the parents of three children who seek the help of a personal injury attorney to stop their imminent divorce.

In a statement, the guild said that SAG-AFTRA members “are hereby instructed to withhold any acting services or performance of any covered work for this production until further notice from the union. Please note, accepting employment or rendering services on Courting Mom & Dad, may be considered a violation of Global Rule One. Violating this order may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the SAG-AFTRA Constitution.”

SAG-AFTRA did not elaborate on specifics about why it issued the “do not work” order.

The union’s Global Rule One, which requires members to work only for signatory companies, states that “No member shall render any services or make an agreement to perform services for any employer who has not executed a basic minimum agreement with the union, which is in full force and effect, in any jurisdiction in which there is a SAG-AFTRA national collective bargaining agreement in place.”

The production company could not be reached for comment.

Oboy, QAnon's gonna have a field day with "Global Rule One."

Ugly: "I think the concept of chokeholds sounds so innocent and so perfect."

The entire interview's a jawdropper, but that...that one in particular is Just Wow.

Black Female Police Officer Stands Up For Kneeling Woman Pushed by Cop

I read about the kneeling protester being shoved by the pig, but in the flood of similar crimes I didn't catch this followup.
It is the world to me right now.

One black female officer stepped up to confront the cop over his actions. The video shows her yelling and what appears to be scolding as the male cop is running away. The brave officer is now being praised online and one protester behind the camera can be heard shouting “yes, thank you.”

She tore his ass up and he looks ready to crap his pants.

WASHINGTON—In an effort to placate the protesters gathered outside, President Donald Trump reportedly screamed, “Let them have Eric!” Monday as he pushed his son through the door of a White House bunker. “Please, you can take Eric, just leave me alone,” said the commander in chief, shoving his third-born son through the bulletproof, double-reinforced door of the White House panic room, repeatedly smashing Eric Trump’s fingers with a large wrench to loosen their grip on the frame. “Tear him apart, do whatever you want with him. I’m sorry, son, but this sacrifice is for the greater good!” After learning that the protesters remained a quarter mile away and were completely separated from the structure by hundreds of Secret Service agents, Trump then threw out Don Jr. as well.
