he worst idea that any of us have ever seen. Now, if I could soften it a little bit, I will give you an observation that I've made because I've been involved in designing logos and catchphrases and stuff for most of my career. A lot of licensed stuff needs to have some kind of catchy name. So over the Dilbert career, I've had to work with lots of people on various logos for licensed materials and…

But the amount that the human does is just getting smaller and smaller. So what happens when people stop going to college or listening or figuring out how to write because they don't have to because AI is doing all the work for them?

Democrat Representative LaMonica McIver claims that his use of the phrase liberation day is secret code for white power. Liberation Day, the secret code for white power. So, this is one of your best Demo…
