Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 09, 2022

All the internet is a fanciful stage. It keeps us amused.

I thought the new Disinformation Czar was going to handle all that nonsense…..

Oh, wait. It’s now being handled by Musk…

So, he did what he said he would and now everyone is dancing around, fingers in their ears, eyes closed and singing La La La La La Laa.

I saw it on TV, so it’s most likely not true.

I’m thinking about going back to not reading much on social media. Comics only!

That’s the scourge of social media — yes, it “democratizes” communication so it’s flat and everyone can create so-called “content”. But the problem is it has contributed to the donwfall of actual journalism — you remember those days — when professionals were paid to investigate a story, write it up in a coherent fasion (no typos!) and remain objective throughout because their only motivation was love of truth, not a slanted political point of view.

Now there’s zero journalism and 100% editorializing that “passes” for reporting.

Need to change it from “might not” to “probably not”.

I saw it on Fox News so I know it’s true.

I read it in the funnies so…. (I’m looking at you, Dana Summers!)

At least (and very least) he prefaces it with ‘it might not be true’…..

It’s a very good idea to view things stated on any social media with a generous dose of skepticism.

This is about as close to social media as I get.

I would never pass on information that I didn’t think was true. It can’t be that hard to check out.

“I’m thinking about not talking as much — but that might not be true.”

How about not believing everything you read???

What a great idea, Arlo.

I saw it on the news channel, so I KNOW it isn’t true.

Tune into Flash Point. A TRUE conservative news program!

Good idea, Arlo…do it!

You mean the Big Twit?

Running out of things to say.

“Go ahead. I can’t concentrate on your words anyway when YOU are so close to me. You hunka hunka burnin’ love.”

That is always best

Wisdom of the ages!

I saw it in TMZ so I know it’s the gospel truth!

Maybe try reading the textbooks, scientific peer reviewed papers, and bills that talking heads sum up for you because you are lazy and they need the click bait.

I like to say to people “I read this on the Internet, and of course, everything you read on the Internet is 100% true…”
