You know, I've never liked Dilbert. Har har, IT people are smarter than the rest of the world. Har har, corporate America's broken, let's not you know unionize or anything, but here, here's a cartoon to post! The misogyny though is really welcome, thank you very much. Especially on top of running into misandry earlier. I just do not get how one can be okay with vicious prejudice against around 52% of the population, especially when justifying it necessitates crass prejudice against the remaining 48% or so.

Sheesh, guys, it's just a gender. It's not even a very good identifier. It's not a weapon and it's not even a very good marketing strategy.

Watching the Doctor Who episode "Spearhead from Space" for the first time in years if ever;

1. Monty Python's Flying Circus probably ruined my ability to watch late 60s/early 70s Britain with a straight face. I kept expecting the kerchief-wearing women to turn out to be Terry Jones, talking about how kids these days have their heads filled with Cartesian dualism. Plus I kept expecting something ridiculous to happen any time someone buzzed someone else in the office settings. It's a little like the way, thanks to Monty Python, I can't see Edwardian formal photographs without expecting the cartoons next.

2. Oh no! Unemotive automatons have replaced upper echelon British military men!

3. Oh no! Unemotive automatons with no warmth or compassion have replaced 1970s-vintage Tories!
