Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 13, 2023

I love irony!

How’s your heart rate?

When did months start being an activist?

Maybe it’s from Tozo, then it wouldn’t be big tech.

If the irony were any heavier, it would have magnets stuck to it.

It’s ironic that those who are anti-science love big tech.

Looks like a lot of mouths gathering flies. YUMM!

And they used they’re phones and social media to organize.

Need to walk? Join a protest…they’re every where, at your convenience…..

Biting the hand that feeds you

Irony does escape some people.

I use an old school step counter with a simple LCD display and no connections to wifi, bluetooth, USB, or anything else. I then record my steps using an even older-school pen and paper at the end of the day.

Luddites on parade.

“Hey hey! Ho ho! I’ve only got a hundred steps to go!”

You know this is an imaginative strip. None of the people have their nose buried in a cell phone. People complain about “big tech” and everyone has a cell phone.

Sh*t. Seattle makes the news again. :(

Famous last words.

I’ll join you if you maki it AI instead…..

just have an ice storm knock out power for cities for about 3 days (in eastern Va some for about 3 weeks). then Big Tech becomes life-threateningly crucial. PD and EMTs using comms based on systems decades old. you start noticing the neighbors with solar panels, gas piped backup generators. get a gun, learn how to use it. see the Twilight Zone show “The Shelter”. desperate humans become animals.
