Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 09, 2022

And they all flew Sunwing down to Mexico

I would have them use Telex and see what happened

That’s a good trick. Can you teach me how to do it? You’ll have to do it in person, I’ve never managed to get Zoom working.

.

(that’s supposed to be a joke. Zoom works for me as well as it does for anyone… which ain’t much)

I love that Foom Face!

Did Facebook really change its name?

(Guess who is not a user.)

That’s one contented cat in the last frame.

Wonder what his newspaper is saying!?!

Does anyone know what all is embedded in a QR code? ( I call it a queer code ) As far as I know it links to a website but what else does it transmit. Our vaccine passports are all a queer code. Does it also transmit personal information, Who gets it? Who stores it? And how is that information stored / shared ( sold )

Meathead – I like that name. Describes a good chunk of the Facebook user group

If that were really possible, many tv camera lenses would be splattered with . . . nothing worth a wipe.

Just the fax, mam.

Meathead! Thank you Wiley! Let the world hereafter proclaim it so!

Wiley has my cat Henry as that be he. He’s always close to the action though he has hundreds of places to snore away privately in dusty regions of said house not tended to for low these 3 years.That is often suggested as a choice activity : clean the damn place up, organize it, make home a better place but Henry refers anyone getting up can feed him for the umpteenth time.

HEY, that Meathead moniker could stick ;-}

The postman always rings twice.

I’m largely boycotting them until they decide to join the adult world.

Not only are the Qnuts waiting for JFK Jr., they are drinking bleach to prevent Covid. Way to go to win their Darwins!!

Good morning my friends. Have a blessed Sunday.

I wonder if I would get similar results if I showed the salesman my flip phone?

As another non-user (two weeks more than a decade ago), I do like the way the joke works, even for non-users. I suspect many younger readers won’t ‘get it’, because they don’t know much, if anything, about faxes. Although there are a few industries that still use them, as they are difficult to hack.

Quit several years ago. It was almost as hard as quitting smoking. I’m sorry I wasted so much time on it

I use it and I didn’t know.

This is an excellent Journal paper on why people insist on believing conspiracy theories. Here is a relevant excerpt:

“Our analysis suggests that conspiracy theories may satisfy some epistemic motives at the expense of others—for example, by shielding beliefs from uncertainty while being less likely to be accurate. The epistemic drawbacks of conspiracy theories do not seem to be readily apparent to people who lack the ability or motivation to think critically and rationally. Conspiracy belief is correlated with lower levels of analytic thinking (Swami, Voracek, Stieger, Tran, & Furnham, 2014) and lower levels of education (Douglas, Sutton, Callan, Dawtry, & Harvey, 2016). "

In other words, the belief conspiracy theories are directly tied to the inability to apply critical and analytical thinking and insufficient education. The full paper appears in the Journal Association For Psychological Science.

I fought it, gave in, got disgusted and never looked back

“Anthropogenic climate change” is a hoax. Any real climate change that is occurring is natural and not man-made. It is not accelerating. The climate change alarmists are basing their projections on severely flawed models many of which were based on politically motivated and false assumptions. Further their predictions often are not realized and the corruption of the climate “scientists” have been revealed many times.

The goal of those trading on “man-made climate change” is to force an end of civilization and freedom. They seek to create massive, world-wide centralized government run by bureaucrats and tyrants.

I quit a couple of years ago and don’t miss it a bit. I created several email groups of actual friends: Close Friends & Family, PG Humor Friends, Racy Humor Friends, Political Humor Friends with whom I share appropriate news, memes and other bits of humor. It is SO much better than FB / Meathead!!!

For all that real media hates Face Plant, it still makes money. Besides, all those National Enquirer folks had to go somewhere.

Although I used to repair fax machines, I never got into faxing. I went straight from snail mail to email.

Conspiracy Theory is just a label that the Elite use to discredit their shenanigans, using the term to include said misbehavior with obvious fallacy.

I love Facebook. I never use it, but bought shares at $40.

Love the cat in First & Last panel.

Yes and from now on I will refer to it as meathead. Perfect.

I never meta social media I didn’t dislike.

I have a facebook account. If I want pictures of my grandchildren, I have to check out my son’s page.

I don’t know much about The BookFace.

That’s the Metis flag

The Métis flag or flag of the Métis Nation features a white infinity sign on a blue background. The infinity symbol represents the mixing of two distinct cultures, European and First Nations, to create a unique and distinct culture, that of the Métis (which means “to mix” in Latin).

Zuk didn’t have dibs on it

Seventh panel: “FAX?! That does not compute!"

Would you like some Rumpsteaks with that too? While you’re on break from RumpU, gambling at Rump Casinos, and sending in big checks to the Arizona recounts, and those checks are gonna be paid by your investment in those NFT’s with Melanomia’s face on ‘em, right? That new social media firm is already under investigation from the SEC because it has dealing with some incredibly sketchy investment firms from China (another big money plan for the MAGA crowd! – except the suckers don’t admit that that crowd has never paid back on a thing).

@Kveldulf: “Did Facebook really change its name?”

Change the name, but not what they do. They’re now METAstatic.

Meathead. That’s hilarious!!

She is reading a book and holding a mug. How does she turn the book’s pages?

META-morphosis.

Metamucil was already taken (and in large doses).

Remember Back to the Future II where everyone had a fax, they sort of got that one wrong. As for what he wants him to look at, that is way to close to the way it works.

FAX them?? Guess who’s up the sharp end of technology?

Face-Space and Twit-Book have merged to become Meat-Head. Right ???

I keep disregarding multi-panel strips as plot-based. This was great.

Perfect.
