Scott Adams (Dilbert cartoonist) died today.  

Nobody poked fun of bad bosses and corporate insanity better than Adams.

Had been following his progression on X --- he seemed very close --- but was still doing his thing, albeit much more briefly, all the way to the end.

RIP Scott.

RIP Scott.

Key Controversial Comments that got his comic strip sensored and canceled

Race and Segregation (February 2023): In a livestream of his show Real Coffee with Scott Adams, while discussing a Rasmussen Reports poll that asked if respondents agreed with the statement "It's OK to be white" (a phrase associated with white supremacist movements), Adams took issue with the percentage of Black respondents who disagreed or were unsure.

He stated: "If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people... that's a hate group, and I don't want to have anything to do with them". He then urged white people to "get the hell away from Black people" and said he would no longer "help Black Americans". He later defended these comments as hyperbole.

Gender: In a 2011 blog post, Adams wrote that "women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It's just easier this way for everyone".

The Holocaust: In a 2006 blog post, he questioned the official death toll of the Holocaust.

COVID-19 Vaccines: He expressed anti-masking and anti-vaccine views, at one point saying that people who were not vaccinated "came out the best".
Employment Discrimination: In June 2020, Adams tweeted that the Dilbert animated TV series ending years earlier was "the third job I lost for being white".
Woke Culture/LGBTQ Issues: His later comic strips often parodied "wokeness", including a storyline in which a Black character "identified as white" to gain an advantage in a company's diversity initiatives.

Adams was a vocal supporter of conservative political commentary and Donald Trump, and his views increasingly bled into his work and public commentary, ultimately leading to the professional fallout in 2023


These controversial comments about race, gender and other topics led to Dilbert's widespread cancellation in 2023.

Yet LAFD Assistant Chief Kristine Larson a black lesbian says "Am I able to carry your husband out of a fire? He got himself in the wrong place." And her "physical inability to do her job is less important than her identity"

And this gem to "What people want is for firefighters who show up to put out fires to look like you".

This dim bulb with 33 years experience - supposedly is aware - I'm guessing - that if a house is filled with smoke one just might not be able to see what anyone looks like, even thru a mask,FFS

Yet  still holds a position with in the Department

Let's stay away from politics, yeah? So far we had avoided it re this comic writer, who created a brilliant comic strip, full stop. Can we just leave it there?
