What Rob said. More tech journalists need to grow the spine (and cojones) of Elizabeth Lopatto.

Put down whatever you're doing and read this essay from @lopatto.bsky.social while it's outside the Verge paywall. She is a damn good writer, especially when faced with self-serving nonsense from tech CEOs: "I never want to hear any moral grandstanding from these boys ever again."
Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards

in 2016 i made an edit of a dilbert comic and scott adams got so mad he blocked me and then blogged about it
screenshot of a tweet from 2016 of an edited dilbert comic by leyawn: panel 1 (wally and dilbert talking to the pointy haired boss): wally: the separation of art from the artist is fascinating to me. panel 2: boss: why is that? wally: i should clarify - not just the separation, but the reclamation of art for another use. the artist loses their work to the world. panel 3. boss: like pepe? it must feel so awful to see that happen. wally: exactly. your work is no longer personal but public. panel 4: wally: and aspect that comes with the territory. to share one's art is to risk parody and theft. it can both inspire and desecrate. we've seen pepe, a once beloved meme, turn into a mascot of trump supporters, as ridiculous as that sounds. panel 5: dilbert: even before that, pepe wasn't some meme. he was a character in matt furie's web comic. pepe the frog is a thousand steps removed from the source. his comic is great by the way. panel 6: boss: so it's hopeless? our work can be turned into terrible things and we can't do shit? panel 7: wally: well there's one thing you can do. take some asshole's art and make it good. it turns out scott adams is a huge dumbass. it's great. panel 8: wally: he thinks a paid cabal of trolls is out to get him. he praises trump. dilbert: i thought his characters in dilbert were satirical but it turns out he's just as stupid as they are. you are what you write ahaha scott adams' blog how to insult me on twitter 10/21/2016 i've noticed that a lot of people are struggling to come up with creative ways to insult me on twitter. as a public service, i will organize the common approaches in this post so people can insult me by number 1. act like you think i draw garfield 2. proclaim that i am the pointy-haired boss from dilbert (assume a million people havne't already told me the same thing) 3. label me irrelevant 4. note that dilbert used to be funny but now it is just sad, like its creator 5. make a fake dilbert comic and have the characters mock their misinterpretations of my opinions in a way that you mistake for satire

Dilbert was great, for a while. It’s creator, not so much.

An administrative warrant is signed by ICE, not a judge. Without a signed judicial warrant, agents do not have the right to enter your home.

You have the right to ask to see the warrant.

You have the right to refuse entry without one.

A scarred man operates a midnight diner in the backstreets of Shinjuku. No one knows his name or his story, but his customers each bring him theirs.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone."
