Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 07, 2025

It’s gibberish, all right—using every cliche in the book!!

The thing I love best about this strip is that it’s the perfect place for people to air their political views—even if they have nothing to do with the current story arc. That’s why i believed the message board here is a blog.

BTW, I hope Trumpty-Dumpty’s plan to dismantle USAID is a dismal failure!

Ummm, I am switching to Linux because of Windows telemetry and spying and the AI I never wanted. My docs and spreadsheets created in Offic work fine in Libre Office, web browsing and email work in the respective Firefox and Thunderbird, although you get them all in one interface if you use Vidaldi. Games are from Steam. I could go on, but there is no reason to run Windows anymore.

Plus since I am a moderate politically and a socialist socially, Linux just fits!

The real sad thing is what Trump’s team is doing overall.

I kind of like the “It’s time to put the pedal to the paradigm.”

As a Mac and Unix fan, I was happy when Mac OS X was released. The first Dell computer I bought was for running Linux.

Let’s win this one for the Gibber!

As pertinent to the comments (but not the strip!) I urge you to read this >

OOpsl

“Zip-Dawg” is channeling AI, and doing a bang-up job of it – no one will be able to tell that a human wrote it; they’ll just assume, “Bad AI”.

Ol’Vonshitzhispantz playbook is open for the rubes to see. They just don’t realize the playbook was plagiarized from so many dictators before him. Grievance government is only “entertainment “ until the rubes realize their next. Read the poem, “First They Came” if you don’t believe me.

It’s a code you need to decipher. I hope Trump crashes and burns and his own people turn against him.

If this was in the present day, I’d say that was AI-generated. But, I guess it’s just old-fashioned human stupidity. Hard to tell the difference, sometimes.

I’ve had it with Linux too! It’s high time he outgrew that security blanket….

Off her lithium?
