Imagine a bus, but instead of some overpaid muncipality worker, you recruit from the gig economy and the passenger can also rate their experience in an app.

Scott Adams is really the wankest of dad to me. I honestly didn't know which tweet to pick for here, I was originally looking for one where that Florida pro-Trump as in Spanish (with numerous typos in subtitles...) about how Biden promised a black VP and not a Latino one was a GAME CHANGER. Getting there I was welcomed by his musings on how old white males were the real victims when it came to professional promotions, him among the martyrs of affirmative actions (Including Dilbert being moved from his slot to another for an "all black block" which KILLED THE SERIES

).

I think he's as disingenuous and manic as Bill Mitchell but certainly not as vulgar. There's the same delusions of being a prophet with a supernatural ability to divine the zeitgeist. There's also the pretense of being a philosopher or a rhetorician plus a vast overestimation of his grasp of science than most of the IDW, but he's uniquely weird and cranky in his mad tangents.

All because he wrote a successful comic strip.

In other news a lot of the usual suspects are saying the bodycam footage of G.Floyd's death changes everything and the media is ignoring it. Adams obliged in retweeting a handful of them because of course.

Black and brown students on average do have higher rates of suspension and expulsion and there's always the talk of school to prison pipeline. Scott Adams still has no fucking idea what he's talking about.

Adams went from "I'm not saying Trump is right on the substance, I'm just saying he's a master of techniques of rhetoric and persuasion" to "Trump is right, and the fact that most people disapprove of him proves the existence of a mass delusion."

Guess Trump forgot how to persuade people.

It's the same shit as before ("he was high, he OD'ed actually, he was non compliant, the officers were patient..."). They seem to think that it proves there was no intent to murder and it's important somehow and not at all a strawman misrepresenting the grievances with police brutality.

Airbnb landlord Matthew Yglesias wants more densely packed (yet still affordable, this is Cincinnati) urban housing to be filled with brain drain aspirational middle class candidates from the semi-periphery / periphery...... This is definitely something a Type of Guy would come up with.
