@angiebaby close, but NOT QUITE.
Scott Adams, Documented Nazi and creator of Dilbert, Dies at 68
(He was very publicly Nazi blogging in 2006.)
Ingo@rootwyrm @angiebaby I had no idea!
Eric Goodwin@angiebaby @soatok what a miserable human. At least he had the decency to die.
ShaneDidn’t he post that Trump was gonna personally intervene to save him?
mossman@shane @angiebaby in 2015 or 2016 he started posting stuff on his website about how Trump was the super-smart great manipulator who was going to sort everything out with his incredible magical insight. He knew because he recognised it as a fellow hypnotist...
At first I laughed. After a couple of weeks I realised he wasn't joking. Then I stopped reading the daily cartoon.
A few months later he got cancelled and I looked at his later posts - it was shocking and sad.
The Queen of Weltschmerz🏳️⚧️@angiebaby @patrickhadfield Won’t miss him.

He's going to the pointy haired boss in the sky now... And I'm going about my life with less sadness than if a pet goldfish just died. He lost all of my respect long ago.

Mad Engineering@TrimTab @angiebaby Scott might have wanted you to believe that he was most like Dilbert, but he was secretly most like the pointy haired boss the entire time.

Emil Jacobs - Collectifission@angiebaby may he rest in piss
Muro deGrizecoI remember reading about Adams going public loud racist.
Spouse and I saying, "yuck".
Then going to the kitchen cabinet, fishing out the old Dilbert mug, a piece of 90s tech worker nostalgia, and chucking it into the trash.
Thomas P. Moonis@angiebaby Also the comic was never funny.
🎉 🎆
Great news!
May as many racist scumbags as this failure was die at the very earliest convenience.
🎹 Your Masto in April 🎹@angiebaby Anybody got anything interesting planned for dinner tonight?
Ben Foote@angiebaby Rest in piss.
ComputerNut43@angiebaby I saw somewhere that he was on the edge of death. Despite what happened I grew up with Dilbert and liked the comics.
Figgy@angiebaby 2023 seems a century ago…
Knut 🏳️🌈 🇳🇴🧸@angiebaby i never liked his cartoons. I just did not like how he portrayed software engineers. Your degreed computer professionals are an expensive, expensive commodity for companies. And most, but not all by any stretch, most of us are treated very well. It makes no sense to key up your Porsche, does it? But we're very fickle because we know we're expensive, and that Porsche will self-drive somewhere else if you don't provide lunch every Friday. His cartoons don't portray reality.
Sascha@praetor @angiebaby Back in the days I was also more the Illiad User Friendly guy, but some Dilberts made me chuckle.
But it's impossible to separate the artist from the art, especially when you are so loud with your opinion.

@skonair @angiebaby well, being a racist peddling things to a traditionally liberal market didn't help. I love User Friendly! The SGI!
@praetor @angiebaby
Oh boy, the memories are coming back! We had an SGI Indigo at the university lab and didn't need it any more for 3D stuff. So it became the departments web server during the day and an extra-terrestrical alien hunter at night (SETI@Home)

@skonair @angiebaby Oh, I LOVE SGis. Love them.
@praetor @skonair @angiebaby oh. Userfriendly. Well, it was great while it lasted. And then it ended with some problematic decisions. I was an active reader back then...
@praetor @angiebaby There's a big difference between being a software engineer in a high tech company and being in the IT department of a bank. Dilbert was the latter (although probably something worse than a bank).
@PeterLudemann @angiebaby Wouldn't know. I've never worked for a bank....
@praetor @angiebaby The white shirt and tie are a strong hint.
@PeterLudemann @angiebaby Yeah. That is true. When I ran my own IT department, I was the CIO for a tiny federal contractor, and we had some DoE big whigs coming in, and everyone had to dress up. And holy fuck, did that start a goddamned riot in my department. You can change when they're out of the pit (which is what we called our area), but you have to. It's not up for debate. Yeah, getting nerds into a tie is like putting a cat in it's vet carrier.
@praetor @angiebaby If you think of the people who aren't able to get jobs at the places that don't care about dress code (e.g., Google's CEO said: "the dress code is: wear clothes"), but are forced to wear a shirt&tie (all the time; not just when the bigwigs are visiting) ... they're the people in Dilbert's world.
@PeterLudemann @angiebaby I feel bad for those people. I get it. I'm doing public government work now, and hate it. Looking for something back in the private world. And we were doing a network upgrade, after-hours of course, and I'm like "so where is dinner" what do you mean? "Well, aren't we getting fed?" Hmm, no. People get fed when they're doing this? YES! Like literally every company I've worked for has had afterhours migrations catered!!
tnt@angiebaby And now I'm going to have nightmares about getting prostate cancer and diagnosing it too late 😨
Sandra Bond@tnt @angiebaby It wasn't the late diagnosis that most likely killed him, it was his espousal of antivaxx style alternative treatment.
@klepsydra @angiebaby Sure It might very well be, I didn't read the details but that still won't change what my nightmares will be about 😅
Phil M0OFX@angiebaby I'd forgotten he existed.

VA7XF CN89Interesting! CBC News posted the AP article, and I didn't realize they use their own headlines.
CBC: Dilbert creator Scott Adams, whose comic strip was cancelled over racist remarks, dead at 68
AP: Scott Adams, whose comic strip ‘Dilbert’ ridiculed white-collar office life, dies at 68
🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇳张殿李🇨🇳🇩🇪🇨🇦@angiebaby And nothing of value was lost.
t o d d w a r n e r@angiebaby A terrible human dies early. That doesn't ever seem to happen, for whatever reason. And, on the way out, it's announced that he converted to a religion that fully embraces his misogyny and racism. What a shocker. Anyway. He will not be missed. Good riddance, Mr. Adams.
Viral Obscurity@angiebaby I used to like the Dilbert series and books in the late 90s/early 2000s but he really lost the plot and turned out to be a pretty shitty person
I guess his existence was downsized by universal management consultants
Anyway...moving on...
Jean Luc am Grimmsten@angiebaby he was also a creationist with a missionary attitude. His awful "God's Debris: A Thought Experiment" from 2001 was a cheap attempt to trick you into "believing". I threw that book into the bin, and i never throw books into the bin.
Rev. Beardman Sam@angiebaby And nothing of value was lost.
Bill Werman@angiebaby It was just a couple of months ago that I read that Adams was begging Trump for some special treatment or medicine because he was such a vocal supporter. What a fool! How could he not know that Trump only cares what you can do for him in the future. Anything in the past doesn't matter. If you are dying, there is nothing you can do for him. Makes me think of Scrooge at Marley's death bed.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams, whose comic strip was cancelled over racist remarks, dead at 68 | CBC News
Scott Adams, whose popular comic strip Dilbert captured the frustrations of beleaguered, white-collar cubicle workers until he was abruptly dropped from syndication in 2023 for racist remarks, has died.
DarkAthena 🐝@angiebaby @briankrebs Didn’t his medbed save him? Good riddance.
Nömenlōony@angiebaby he'll be happy in Charlie Kirk's level of hell.
Rev. Robodummy@angiebaby finally some good news!!!
SkylarrNunchuksAKMRP@angiebaby Wsup. I happen to disagree with your assessment of Scott Adams. His comment of stay away from black people was put in maga box. It doesnt mean it was. If you actively stand with trans movement then you know practice gray area /nonbinary activism-as-politics. Consider this.. Parallel Credential. If are Leftist.. Then you want to be quoting Libertarian taunts/crits of rnc/maga/trump. the norquist contract with congress made libertarians more credible guides to evangelical activists..
