Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 23, 2022

Backwaters come in all kinds of flavors. These folks appear to be living in the “all in one” version.

Wasn’t he the host of Fear Factor?

I’d never heard of Rogan. And I was happy that way.

Well at least I was not the only one with those questions when I saw the subject of some post. Not really sure about the answer to question 3 above. Not me, that I can say for sure.

I was boycotting Spotify long before it was a thing. It rips off 98% of the musicians who are on it. They get almost nothing while this Rogan character, whoever he is, gets that $100 million. Something stinks.

To answer Joe’s question: Lies are marvelously attractive because they aren’t shackled to unpleasant reality and rude truth. Thus, lies can be crafted to perfectly suit one’s audience’s preferences and predisposition. There always has been and always will be charlatans, swindlers, and hucksters doing well by doing dirt. That’s the unpleasant reality and rude truth. Really, no one wants Joe’s product…

Just another reminder of how much the Republican Party of Trump HATES fact checking, and anything that exposes their constant LIES.

why is expressing an opinion “misinformation”

Just another reminder that half the world has a two digit I.Q.

Spotify is what you experience when your dog is circling around trying to decide where he will do his business. the spot is iffy.

Rogan is not spreading any disinformation. Those who claim he is are spreading disinformation, malinformation and misinformation about Rogan.

Please, someone, indicated ONE thing that is disinformation. Just one.

I will wait.

I took a look at Spotify, and completely failed to see the point. I have 23,000 pieces of music in my Music folder, plus there’s YouTube, podcasts, and streaming everywhere you look. I can’t figure out why you’d pay for more of it.

Didn’t we have this exact same discussion, 10-15 years ago, but with Howard Stern and Sirius radio? What every happened to them?

Rogan is like unto the flatulations of hippopotami in farthest Africa…it’s happening, but we don’t need to think about it.

There’s another one… Facebook… but all I see is kid pics. waste my time. pass this on to 3 friends for luck

Podcast of disinformation – you must never listen the show

They are asking the same two questions that I had. Hmmm…I’m old and live in New England. Maybe that’s it.

In a similar tone … the kardasheyinns have a new show … and the title?

Aww no, not again, I thought they were gone

The kardasheyinn phenomenon is just the same as rogan. Take crap and sell it to the idiots.

I’m with her. What that h… is Joe Rogan?

Excellent analogy!!

saltylife16: and don’t forget to pick up your ivermectin…

Isn’t Joe Rogan the dumb carpenter guy from News Radio?

Podcast of Disinformation is the top act this year. Set to gross more than Elton, McCartney or the Stones. And its only February

I know nothing about either one and don’t care to know

I ‘like’ to read the statements by the “experts” but I never see what they’re “expert” in. Guess they’d not bother us ’cos we woodent unnerstan.

Earthlink.net is still around?

A fool and his money are soon parted……

I swear that a lot of those “listeners” are stoned and laughing their heads off.

Spotify, a music “service” where musicians get fractions of a penny per play, but disinformation sources get millions of dollars.

Um . . . yeah . . . I had the same questions exactly.

Make a “cute cat” video.Raw material right next to you.

Or put Captain Eddie on.People will tune in,if only to stare open-mouthed.

And I thought there was no answer to that.

People would be a lot happier if they never heard of those 2 things.

Two plus Two equals Five. “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.” [1984: Book One, Chapter VII, George Orwell, 1949]

…..slow news day?

Excellent strip again, Wiley. Extra kudos for using the correct phrase instead of “begs the question”! As Reacher says, details matter.

He should be nobody.

Since you are in New England, try a “cod past” instead!

Water in a glass is good, especially if you’re thirsty. Water in a tsunami is not good, especially if you’re in its path. We have gone from the glass of information to a tsunami of, at best, non-information. My advice: head to higher ground and turn off the garbage.

Fools and their money/lives are soon parted.

Oh, to live on an island off the coast of Maine without wifi connection.

Rogan is a has-been actor mostly known as the maintenance guy on “News Radio.” That was his high spot.

Really? That would probably make me feel better in that situation. Perspective. (Yeah, not touching the “disinformation” vs “verified facts” thing.)

Only leftists in denial of the truth consider Joe Rogan a podcast of disinformation. I get that leftist media and fact checkers have folks confused by their lies, but you folks really need to do a better job checking on the facts.

I’m with Mom on this one. (I do know what Spotify is: an on-line service that didn’t work the one time I tried it.)
