      I wonder how many reporters have been assigned to look for people due for their Pluvicto but who will lose their ACA plan when premiums their double next month.

        I hadn't heard about his diagnosis. Sad.

        Here's his next post and Grok's explanation

        Scott Adams' post cancels his daily "Coffee with Scott Adams" livestream, signaling an acute health crisis tied to his metastatic prostate cancer, diagnosed in May 2025 with a prognosis of months to live.

          From his wiki page:

          He noted that taking ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat the cancer did not work for him.[125][126]

          Wow, what bad luck to not only get prostate cancer but to get that rare endotype that is ivermectin-resistant.

            I lost a close friend fifteen years ago, to a rare aggressive prostate cancer that resisted all treatments. He was gone in four months.

                I wasn’t aware of that. Was it an aggressive form or a slow growing? Mine was caught very early although the second biopsy indicated a more aggressive type than was first detected. I was in surgery within a month. Five years now have gone by and PSA remains at the post surgery level of 0.1.

                  We think it was slow growing but he ignored it. He didn’t share too much as he was going through it.

                      It's the Dilbert guy.

                      You're thinking of Douglas Adams.

                        Ah, yes. Even so, if it were a gas pump jockey I'd still wish that Trump's involvement would help and that the treatment would be successful.

A hardy man unaffected by the drivel that keeps many up at night in this crazy world. A man who can open his front door one morning to be greeted by a hungry polar bear and wouldn't flinch.

                                  Scott was an early relatively well thought out supporter of Trump, but has had his ups and downs with him. I think Adams wrote a book on why Trump's persuasion works so well. Then he became very disappointed when Trump was presented with an opportunity to say some public words that would make it clear that his supporters were not rabid racists, and Trump did not rise to the opportunity. Scott felt betrayed, because Trump's outspoken supporters were taking a reputational hit at the time, over some news cycle that now escapes me. That was during Trump's first term, and I guess Scott has drifted back into the camp since then, if he ever left it.

                                    Did you see the Trump interview on 60 Minutes last night? Norah O'Donnel just can't help herself from trying to interrupt him and play gotcha. he fell for none of it.

                                      Saying he didn’t know who the guy was who he just sold a pardon to looked like a gotcha moment to me.

                                      But the magats who are fine with his corruption probably would give him a W for the exchange.

                                      If you don't take it, it can only good happen.
