He does a daily 1hr live show and it contains daily news analysis, advice, updates on Dilbert and him etc
If you want short text, try following hm on Twitter.

--- Quote ---Meh. You either pay $2 and read it for a month, or you don't. If you don't, you'll never know if you still like Dilbert or not.
I haven't seen the new stuff as I'm not paying $7/month on Locals. $2/month on Twitter just for the comic I'd be happy to pay though. I'm actually keen to see the sex bot strips, sounds funny.
I do have an account and follow him on Locals and that occasionally shows some Robots Reads News strips.

I opened a "Locals" account and read it daily for a week. All it contained was "not showing you this", "not showing you this", ... "not showing you this".
Unsurprisingly I gave up.

Err, yeah, you have to pay $7 on locals. Wait until Twitter subscriptions works and you'll get just Dilbert for $2/month.

Oh yeah, Twitter Subscriptions. Right up there with Tucker Carlson. Birds of a feather...

If anyone wants to know what to think you can watch him free on Youtube. His channel is "Real Coffee with Scott Adams"

The channel description is
"Scott Adams (famous for creating Dilbert) is a trained hypnotist, and is widely recognized as an expert on persuasion. Adams has emerged as one of the most influential observers of politics in the United States. His bestselling book, "Win Bigly," teaches persuasion, and his bestselling book "How to Lose Almost Every Time and Still Win Big" is widely considered the best book ever written on developing systems for success. His most recent book is Loserthink, which teaches you how to avoid it. If you enjoy learning how to be more effective in life while catching up with the interesting news, this is the channel for you."

I don't know if the claim he is one of the most influential observers of politics in the US is his own opinion or someone elses.

But if you can't draw your own conclusions he is ready to tell you what to think. 


I don't sit way over on the right with his politics but I did find it interesting to watch how he works. For a few episodes at least.  Not that I'm claiming to be clever in working it out. He's not subtle. Although if you see me clucking like a chicken he may have hypnotised me. Maybe.

I found "Dilbert" to be funny because it somehow touched a string in me, having the "knack" and being a full-on nerd. But reading Scott Adams blog sort of undid that. Especially the piece he wrote justifying men's predatory behavior towards women because women actually appreciate it even if the say "no".

Exactly my feelings about Adams. And all the "master persuader" posts about Trump didn't help either. "Look how brilliant I am, because I can understand how brilliant Trump is!"  :--
