Funny, he popped into my head the other day when I randomly remembered the skewering he deserved and received from Tom the Dancing Bug. I remembered that I hadn’t heard from him since, and I was happy.
And now the little turd is indulging in attention-seeking behaviour again. Gah.
I think it’s summed up as “it’s only wrong if you do it.”
Corolla was already pretty far gone by the time covid came around. In 2019 he made a whiny documentary premised on “comedians can’t say anything funny anymore because cancel culture!”
All I know is that he hates being called The Dilbert Guy. Apparently he wants to leave that comic behind, not because of how problematic it was, but because he has more serious but more unhinged fiction and nonfiction under his belt.
Anyway I was reminded The Dilbert Guy is still around and that saddens me.
About six months ago Robert Evans and the other great folks at the Behind the Bastards podcast did a series on him. A two-parter on “How the Dilbert Guy Lost His Mind”, and a few more with excerpts from his non-Dilbert related books.

(The shows tend to start off charmingly unprofessionally and with some crude humor as a coping mechanism but well-researched facts are presented clearly)
I’ve got two Dilbert books from before the author got unhinged and they are full of apposite commentary on corporate BS, so it’s a pity to see where he is now.
More seriously, despite women apparently being desperate for sperm, recent social science surveys show that the overthrow of Roe vs Wade has led to a reduction of sex in America, because women and men both are afraid of the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy.
every aggressor in history started the conversation by pointing at something and saying “that’s mine”
He was like this for a long time before that. I first noticed it in the early 2000s, when he wrote an unhinged book about religion, then started fighting with people online when they didn’t immediately agree with his theories contained therewith. He also had conspiratorial rants about how a dirty tricks campaign was the only reason his range of branded snack foods weren’t successful.
He actually swore off blogging for a while, because his habit of picking fights with the internet was hurting sales of his comic anthologies, but the lure of telling people on the internet that they are wrong was apparently too much for him to resist.
Man, when someone who has always seen themselves as a “special boy” gets turned down by someone, they get real weird with the theories on what is wrong with society real quick. 
I swear Scott came across this tweet, and just came away with the worst possible interpretation of it.
Why is this asshole still talking?
Every encounter with Scott Adams involves implied stupidity
Scott Adams doesn’t think, he lets the voices in his head do that for him. Apart from this, he just hates.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was extremely well researched because, duh, Kubrick. There are some elements in it that verge on being documentary. And looking back at it considering the material that got available after the Cold War it was a lot closer to the truth than the general public could have known at the time.
I think we all know who is the “batshit crazy” one! 
but the lure of telling people on the internet that they are wrong was apparently too much for him to resist.
Pandora’s Laundry Basket has taken many victims
It took me way way longer than I’d like to admit to realize that typing a vitriolic reply, reading it, and deleting it and moving on had enormous power and kept me out of so much un-needed nonsense. I still don’t always manage to escape it, but I usually do.
I’m also saddened by the decay of Adams, even if he was always a turd and I didn’t know it. I was in undergrad/grad school/early career as a young electrical engineer/programmer when his comic strip was really ascendant and it really did capture some of the mind blowing stuff you’d find in corporate setting (I worked for Alcatel and Nortel before deciding EE and big companies were both not for me)
Do I have to be worried about Jon Stewart coming back to the Daily Show? Because it seems like a concerning number of people I liked in the 90’s/00’s poke their greasy heads up and demonstrate without shame what shitty people they are and probably have always been.
P.S. Yes, I know this guy has been a POS for a while
Several days later and “Women Want Your Sperm” still sounds like an immature male fantasy rather than the nightmare of a grown man.
I assume I would not understand a Scott Adams rant but it really seems backwards.
