ing to come for your coffee. Well those guys, them, kill them. I want them all rounded up, put in prison. WEF must be stopped. They've gone too far. Too far. Yeah, I don't take this too seriously. Did I tell you that 2024 would be the year that everything sounds funny? Right? Do you remember when the World Economic Forum said there was too much CO2 in the air? I'm trying to do a Swiss accent or A…

to be happy about it, especially since in Elbonia the national sport is rape. But Alice and Tina the tech writer are not going to be too happy about it. So that's what you're missing if you're not on the Locals platform where you could subscribe or on X where you can see Dilbert as well. On the Locals platform you see also my other comic, Robot Reads News, which is far naughtier than anything you've seen before.

Well the story about who's funding Nikki Haley gets more weird and interesting all the time. So apparently she's definitely been getting money from these never-Trump type people. So let's see who's giving her money. This is by Kyle Becker's reporting on this. The 1630 Fund is managed by the Arabella Advisors. You've got the Hope Fund also managed by the Arabella Advisors. And you've got the Democracy Fund voice founded by eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar and Reid Hoffman, famous billionaire founder of LinkedIn. And so both the last two billionaires are the biggest, probably the biggest two. I know Reid's probably the biggest number one funder of Democrat stuff. So you've got Democrats and never-Trumpers funding Nikki Haley. What do you think's going on there? I haven't quite put this together yet. Have you? Is it exactly what it looks like? Because what it looks like is they're planning to take Trump out. I mean that's what Vivek says. It's what a lot of people say. But I can't think of any other reason for it. Can you? Or is it a clever way to ruin Nikki Haley in case she gets in? As in, well we could make sure we've destroyed the reputation of somebody if they're going to be a Republican. Could you imagine if Nikki Haley actually became president? She wouldn't have Republican support and she's not going to have Democrat support. So what kind of support would she have? Well what would be the point of having a Nikki Haley president who didn't have Democrat support and didn't have at least half of Republican support? And it would look like she got in because the Democrats wanted her. But what part of that would work in the real world? So it certainly argues against any kind of normal political plan. As in, I think I'll give money to the one I want to get elected. It doesn't feel like anything like that's happening. So if you're not donating to the person you want to get elected, what exactly are you doing?

Now the obvious thing would be, oh they're just trying to hurt Trump. But really I feel like they might know something's going to happen to Trump that we don't know. So yeah, I just worry that they know more than we know. But it certainly looks like they're going to try to put him in jail and it certainly looks like if that doesn't work there might be a plan B. There might be. Well there's going to be, according to End Wokeness on X, there are going to be a couple of remakes of a couple of films. It's going to be a remake of The Wizard of Oz and also It's a Wonderful Life. So we'll have remakes of those but they will be completely non-white perspectives. So it's going to be the all black or people of color LGBTQ Wizard of Oz and It's a Wonderful Life. So what do you think about that? I'm totally okay with it. You know who I think should be the most angry about it? Black moviegoers. If I were a black moviegoer I would say why not make a movie that a black person wrote? Why can't we have our own movie? It feels like too little, doesn't it? You know I think they could be good movies because the basic plots of course are awesome. So I would probably watch both of those remakes. I think they could be awesome. You know and I don't mind. I think there's plenty of space for the black Wizard of Oz. You know it's a big world. It's a free market and I'd watch them. You know as long as they're well made, they've got good actors, you know the story is good. But isn't it insulting? I mean it feels like too little, doesn't it? Like if you're trying to make sure that the nonwhite professionals get their own thing, which is a perfectly good thing to want, I feel like they'd be better served by just having their own thing. You can't tell me that there are no black writers writing good movies. You know you have to go back that far to find a good script. I mean I know it's a classic but anyway. You know maybe the intentions are goo

d. All right so as you know humanoid robots are on the way. You do know that in a year you people like me will have an actual humanoid robot in our house, right? You know that? An actual humanoid AI robot in my house probably by the end of the year because I'd be an early adopter at ridiculous prices. There's no way I'm going to go a minute without a robot. Okay can we just say this? The minute t…
