I've been following Scott Adams (The Dilbert guy. No, not Jim Davis. The Dilbert guy!) and this is obviously misinformation and a hoax. The only accurate news comes from X. If you still get your news from the leftist media, you're being brainwashed.

(obviously sarcasm. Downvote me for following Adams, not for misunderstanding my sarcasm.)

Scott Adams? You mean the guy who writes books about obvious self-insert characters who are so much smarter than everyone else because they are influencers?

I was so Happy (capital intended) when he was featured on Behind the Bastards. I didn't think he was interesting enough to merit even one episode, but now the host is reading Scott's books, and they are complete dogshit.

Scott's rationalwiki entry is a joy to read.

That website is a right wing cesspit. They even have a page on the Uighur genocide conspiracy theory that's more ridiculous than the one on wikipedia.

Kind of, but only on Twitter so far.

I'm just not sure I get which part is sarcastic. Are you actually following him? Do you like the things he says or just want to see what his crazy ass is up to?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

I follow him on Twitter, and I like the things he says, because he's such a crackpot. His crazy ass doesn't really do much except tweet and draw some pretty unfunny cartoons. Sometimes the garbage he says almost gets me to respond, then I remember I'm not supposed to tap on the glass.
