Loved the bit where he's surprised the focus was on the dog shit and not the debate about art criticism.

Can't even smear faeces on critics these days without losing your bloody livelihood. PC gone mad.

Jesus wept.
Ah here.
Can we say that?
Are you trying to prevent the big JC from shedding a tear or two? Cancel culture gone mad!

They’ve even taken wanking in a supermarket aisle away from us. Where will it end?
Can't wait for our AI overlords to start putting expiry dates on human beings.
The problem with that is that with the amount of shit food most of my American brethren eat they will have consumed enough preservatives to live for hundreds of years. We are the Twinkies of humanity.

They've done a u-turn now. The changes are so ridiculously awful they almost seem like a parody of woke culture gone mad. Good chance it was all just a publicity stunt!
Publicity for what?
Dwindling sales?
The one, guaranteed way to get people buying a product, is to let ‘certain’ outlets know you’re changing a product because of ‘woke’ reasons.
They’ll then spend weeks spilling bile over it whilst those who digest it all go out and buy in in spades. As an example it’ll be very interesting to see figures for sales of Lilt in the last few weeks.
The change that did it for me was;
"You can have a wonky nose and crooked mouth
Because it's fine to make fun of people's facial features but don't you dare make fun of the

So, about 6 months ago he started making bigoted cartoons to deliberately get canceled (and announced this plan on twitter), but apparently since it didn't happen he just had to put the racist suff in his own mouth, not his characters'. Anyway, mission accomplished!
Dilbert has been subjected to editorial interference, had cartoons rejected and now a full scale cancelling.
The art has been "censored" because of its content, and now has been completely cancel cultured by multiple publishers because of comments unrelated to the art work.
Surely this must be a case for the free speech brigade.

I imagine it would be if anyone had given a shit about Dilbert for 20 years
In 2014, a bright young boy went campaigning for the Republican governor of Texas.
In 2016, still in high school, he volunteered for Ted Cruz for President.
In 2020, he was part of the Trump Council of Economic Advisors. Around this time, he was president of the Princeton College Republicans, joined the Republican party, and published the conservative Princeton paper.
In 2023, the NYT commissioned an article by him:
"My Liberal Campus Is Pushing Freethinkers To The Right".
It described him as "a senior at Princeton."

That rag is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Who / what is Glinner?
Graham Linehan. One of the writers of Dr Ted and the IT Crowd. Synopsis is he got into a bit of a furore over transphobia and has gone so far down the rabbit hole he's essentially killed his own career.

Okay, that cnut. Gotcha.
Probably. Although without the hero complex.

That’s a shame as it probably hit close to home with that guy.
Wait, is that Tim Pool?! His face is about twice as big since I saw a clip of him last year!
Don’t think so. Pool’s still a scrawny little cnut who wears the same beanie to cover being bald.
So blessed that YouTube finally got the hint that I'm not interested in Tim Pool. Though wish they'd stop bombarding me with reminders about yesterday's result.
