Scott Adams the man is gone, but the idea of the man, the thing he stood for above all others, is alive. Anywhere someone is fucking up their successful professional lives not due to middling talent or performance but entirely because of their awful personality and beliefs, Scott is there, too.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Just saw the Red Wings are retiring Sergei Fedorov's number tonight, and if you are under the age of ... 35? You probably will not comprehend just how big of a star he was in the NHL in the early-mid 1990s. An absolute force on the sport of hockey.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:

Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.

To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

Fifteen years ago today, a gunman opened fire while my wife Gabby Giffords met with constituents outside a Tucson grocery store. Six people were killed. Thirteen others were injured – including Gabby. That day changed everything for my family and our community.
Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.

I almost died, and think of those who did every day.
