Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 12, 2023

What the social “sciences” have been doing for the last 15 years

The Official Faux News Research Policy.

She has a great future ahead of her at the Counterfeit News Network.

Sounds like the J6 committee. Other videos??? We don’t need no stinkin’ other videos!!!

Congratulations on using “saving” here.

There’s a little subtext here about doing the work that you need to to do, when it needs to be done & otherwise, no one should care.

Bob had it a lot easier than the Stonehenge people.

Danae will fit right in with Fox.

What’s with all the “toots?” Am I to believe that, along with controlling the sun, that’s something only guys can do?

That reminds me, I need to change the clock.

And all this time, I thought “research” was stuff you had to look up again because you forgot what you found the first time. From the same book of principles that states “thereʻs never enough time to do it right, but plenty to do it over.”

Danae thinks her report will be a timeless classic.

she’s going to write for CNN if they still exist when she grows up

It’s also funny, how even the volcano seem to “toot”. Probably because of all the excitement… :)

Danae: “I refuse to let facts into my Reality!”

oh gawd, what would i do without wiley and watterson and trudeau?!

And yet we still are doing it as I just lost an hour of morning work.

You just ask your Dad about something he knows nothing about. Cite him in the footnotes so you don’t get the blame.

Next week caveman discovers what he can do with religion.

Theres a plaque in Grand Central Station in NYC commemorating the establishment of Daylight Savings Time by the big railroad companies.

Joshua 10:13. “So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.“

Yeah, probably. They think the sun is hot, we all know its carbon…

I am reminded of a saying that is attributed to Native Americans (don’t know if it is true or not). “Only a white man would believe if you cut a foot off one end of a blanket and sewed it on the other, you get a longer blanket.”

Caveman Bob has eyebrows just like her Uncle Bob…

Today’s NS is no wackier than the name of the bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent, the “Sunshine Protection Act.”

Hey, I just thought of a new disease: FDS. Fox Derangement Syndrome. FDS.

Seems reasonable to me.

She got the toot part right.

“TOOT” “TOOT” “TOOT”

???

Ah, I see. She’s adopted the CNN and MSDNC method.

Murdoch has said that for enough $$ they’ll say anything, so… yeah.

Liked the 3-14-21 version. But this one is a good twist.

Heaven’s forfend anyone wake an hour earlier.

Close enough.

Daylight saving time was first introduced during WWI as a measure to save on fuel costs by adding an extra hour of sunlight to the work day. It was reintroduced during WWII for the same reason. [Note: it has nothing to do with farming — cows, pigs, chickens and crops don’t bother with clocks.] Today, given that factories, stores, and people go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, there is no fuel being saved.

There is an argument that DST makes it safer because the evening hours are lighter making it safer for joggers, drivers, bicyclists, kids on the streets, but changing the clock is also detrimental to an individual’s health because it messes with a person’s circadian rhythm (there is 10-15% increase in heart attacks and 6-10% increase in traffic accidents on DST Mondays).

Having more light in the evenings means that more people can be active during that time — shopping, going to ball games, riding bikes, jogging, partying, etc. Good for the economy but it also means that the so-called safety factor is neutralized. More people jogging and biking can lead to more road accidents. People being active later can lead to drowsier drivers in the morning, drowsier workers, students, and parents. Which all can lead to more accidents, more carelessness, making harder to focus on work, or learn in school, or even care for children.

No matter what our clocks say, there is the same amount of sunlight available during DST as during standard time. We don’t gain sunlight, we just use it differently.

B.S. baffles brains.

I give this cartoon three toots!

Substitute a congressman for caveman (easily done) and farming for hunting (ehh, progress), and Diane is correct.

Toot? They’re all farting?

Sounds about right for 90% of the social media warriors out there.

Daylight Savings exists because Senators want more time golfing and less time with their spouses. That’s why it exists.

Try the research before submitting it. You can nitrogen beer and cola, but not glycerin.

I believe this is covered in the bible under Joshua. Will miracles never cease?

The MSM liberal media standard.

Kinda like the way the government lied to us about covid?

Save Standard Time https://savestandardtime.com

Danae prepares for a career in historical revisionism!

So that’s it! Humans hafta feel in control of time and/or the Sun.

Hey folks the truth is the truth. I believe it. Its as good as any other story and historically the first. So it must be credible.

I guess Mastodon meat makes you gassy?

Especially the cave man art!!

I bet her teacher has developed a drinking problem.

probably the same way SVB made there investments. lol

I’m really not sure what other answer Lucy expected.

Make it up and (hopefully) find the evidence later…that sounds familiar.

Great last statement from Danae.

She has a great future as a headline speaker at CPAC

And now we know why Danae is a Democrat.

Is this kinda like double spacing to make your report seem longer?

“Research is a stupid nuisance that takes the fun out of stuff you think is probably right” – right on, Sister!! Just don’t confuse me with facts, real ones, not alternate ones …

Makes as much sense as DST any way you cut it…..even “cutting the cheese” as it were….

Danae has Republican tendencies??

I scanned the comments above. My conclusion is that DST isn’t the problem.

Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story they said in jest, look at us now.

I’m unclear on how this decision made the three cavemen flatulent.

People kvetch about anything at all! But n’vu den? We’re only human.

She’s basically right, you know.

My God she is a republican
