Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 01, 2024

And still got cancelled.

No, this is a statue to ‘corporate heroism’.

And like most every other aspect of public life, it was funded by corporations, showcasing their values.

I bet he even “Washed the Dishes without being Asked!”

Eye dew that, two

Whoa! No WAY!!

If we don’t destroy EVERY monument, somebody will cry…let them cry!

“I’m just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.”

And he was still shamed for everything he wrote

Look at any random page, you will find the typo you missed.

But if you double-checked yourself before sending for facts, Trump won’t retweet you.

I think that dog has the right idea…

Wiley makes the statue look like real gold with just three yellow colours and some black. That’s impressive.

I once sent an email to a female coworker with many back-spacing and substituting text corrections. Instead of “I think it’s time!” it went as “I think it’s t!ts time.” Fortunately, our internal email app allowed deletion before the receiving person opened a message.

I would vote for that guy.

The " happy tail " on the puppy is cute , I’m not so sure about the cartoon though ?

Looks like the little dog is about to make the most appropriate comment.

If you say positive things about the establishment person, then you are a hero. If you speak against the establishment, then you are the villain that needs to be cancelled.

Compare/contrast—medals worn by Army generals post wwII verse todays medals —-my favorite is the Combat Infantry Badge vs the look-alike Expert Infantry Badge….

Now, if we could get newspapers to review stories before posting them…

A paean to caution. But one can still err in the composition thereof.

back in the late 1990’s I working in an office where the secretary in the legal department hit the infamous "respond all’ on something she was sending to her sister. a joking script on the sexual desires of each astrological sign. I went by her desk, looked at her and said “so you’re a Scorpio?” she sank under her desk turning as red as her cinnamon colored hair.

To be fair,I later learned she lived up to the script.

Reviewing your text before sending it is always a good idea. I have read many invitations/announcements where the writer forgets to include the last name or the time or the location of an event. I figure that whichever "Bill"’ of my acquaintance is holding a New Years Eve party can do so without me and the museum fund-raiser will also go unattended because, while I can guess the location [the museum] and " the doors will open at 6:30", I don’t know the date.

The ubiquitous spell-checker has a warped sense of humor and can make surprising corrections. Also, when one is ‘emoting’, it is easy to forget to send enough actual content, for the reader to figure out what the emotion is all about.

Did you check the encyclopaedia?

Whether you are executed, jailed, awarded a medal, or honored with a statute for your actions depends on whether those actions are in line with the narrative of those in power at the time.

I do strongly decry the use of “hero” to describe every someone who merely looked out a window and then made a phone call.

Who doesnt chck Avery post at last tree tums?

The name of the game is CYA.

Ah,but did he SPELL everything right?

It’s easier to forget what happened if you aren’t constantly reminded of it. Devil’s Advocate. Mount Rushmore is probably pretty unpleasant for Native Americans, The Alamo probably upsets some Mexicans, lets bulldoze what is left from the detention camps for Japanese in WW2, we get rid of everything that might upset someone, there’s not going to be a whole lot left.

There are no heroes anymore. Just regular flawed humans who managed to do one good thing in the midst of their stumbling blindly from cradle to grave. Or does that make even more heroes out there?

Sounds like common sense to me.

And everybody else’s too…so I could make snide remarks about any misspellings or grammar errors.

Aw .. he’s my idol. The guy who sat for the statue I mean … I mean – WHAT A MAN!!

Heroic? No. Admirable, especially in this day and age? Absolutely!
