Scott Adams' BlogOutragists Attack Trump and Win
You’ve probably seen Donald Trump’s recent quote about Mexican immigration. He said, “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some I assume are good people."
0 CommentsUpdate on the ISIS “Filter Fence”
Last August I described in this blog an idea for creating a safe zone for civilians that want to escape ISIS-held territory. You can see that here. The idea is based on a novel I wrote years ago, the sequel to God’s Debris, called The Religion War.
0 CommentsShotguns and Weddings
Let’s talk about weddings first. As a lover of freedom and equal rights, I am delighted that the Supreme Court rewrote the Constitution (essentially) to give all adults the contractual and legal rights of marriage.
0 CommentsHow Do You Avoid Email?
Nearly everything I need to do for my job involves opening email. I even open email to look for ideas before drawing a comic. And this is a big problem because there is no way to look at email without getting dragged down some unrelated rabbit hole.
0 CommentsThe Value of Men
I live in drought country (California) and this place is starting to turn into a prequel for Mad Max. Every other pickup truck on the road has huge water containers strapped to the back. That’s because the local waste water treatment plant gives away recycled water (non-drinkable) to anyone who wants to keep their lawn alive.

[Ignore this post. Question answered. I had accidentally unzoomed the page sometime in the past, apparently. Didn’t know Chrome can do page-only zoom. Nice! Thanks to all commenters for pointing me the right direction.]
Does anyone else have trouble reading this page using Chrome on a Mac laptop? (OSX: Yosemite 10.10.2)
My own blog is literally the only page I can’t see in normal form. It shows gigantic fonts.
This is now the only thing keeping me on a Windows machine before the full switch to Apple.
(Changing font size in Chrome settings makes no difference on this page but does change others.)
0 CommentsAIDS Messes With the Wrong Engineer
What do you do if both of your parents die of AIDS?
You mourn, obviously. And you wonder why the universe singled you out for such harsh treatment. Maybe you get mad. There isn’t much else you can do.
Unless you’re an engineer. Then you change the world. Because you can.
0 CommentsThe Famous Quote I Never Said
You might have seen a quote on the Internet that is mistakenly attributed to me. It looks like this:
“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep.” – Scott Adams
People like that quote so much that they have turned it into countless colorful posters and put it on products. A search for that quote got 451,000 hits.
But I never said it.
Nor do I agree with it. It is literally the opposite of my opinion.
0 CommentsThe Health Advice I Don’t Find Credible
The other day I read an article in which an “exercise scientist” said that people who exercise regularly are far more likely to keep off the weight after a diet.
So…therefore…you should exercise if you want to keep the weight off. That was the implication.
That doesn’t sound credible to me.
