What a way to discover this dickhead finally kicked the bucket 😌
2026 off to a good start. Let’s keep the ball rolling on shitty evil people dying.
The obituary I’m looking for will be on the front page.
Likewise.
is it vandalism when it is true?
I only ever knew the cartoonist for Dilbert. What did he do that’s got folks hating on him? Were there some messed up comics that he published?
He’s been on the clearly wrong side of bad takes numerous times at this point.
2006: “were the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust exaggerated?”
2010s: racist shit about black people
2019 on: anti-masking drivel
2020: stop the steal
2023: livestream, a poll says 25% of black/brown folks feel a bit weird about if someone were to say “it’s ok to be white”, Scott says “best advice I can give to white ppl, get the hell away from black people, there’s no fixing this.”
Almost every newspaper was already close to breaking, they all basically drop him and syndication cancelled.
Me: Healthy, alive, & pointing and laughing at his dead, dumb ass.
Yuck! Thanks for sharing, it’s good to know these things
This was rather eye-opening. Thanks!
The cartoonist for Dilbert was kind of fun, then he started to be kind of weird, then he became really odd, then he turned into a total weirdo, then he died. The end.
Short and to the point explanation. Nice!
Hey, a fair number of them get paid to vandalise it.
don’t vandalize wikipedia :( editors work very hard for no pay
I can confirm as a longtime editor that:
-
I find this shit funny as hell in the short term, but
-
It does make our work harder.

If you really need to take a screenshot for the meme, please at least just use the VisualEditor, which is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor that will allow for a near-identical screenshot without actually publishing. If it’s not perfectly identical, you can go to the source editor and click ‘Preview’, which will actually render an identical page without publishing.

We really do take neutrality seriously – not primarily for our image but because, empirically, not doing that destroys the quality of the project.
Alternatively you can also right click, press Inspect, and then edit the HTML, which will look perfect and also not actually change anything.
right click? what is this the stone age
f12the right click method goes directly into the selected elements

And it only further emboldens the idiots who think that Wikipedia is biased (largely against conservatives).
Wikipedia is biased against conservatives. Wikipedia requires citations.
