Blah. But I'm sure we'll be better later. Let's call up the comments on locals and see what we got going here. Everybody good this morning? It's going to be exciting. It always is. Good morning, everybody. Yep, not that. There we go. There I am.

Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it is. But if you'd like to take this special experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, Well, all you need for that is a cupper, a mug, or a glass, a tank, a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it's going to happen right now. I can feel the simultaneity. It was a little special today. It was good. Well, here's some good news.

The odds of that asteroid hitting the Earth are now down to a quarter of one percent. Quarter of one percent. We were up to about three percent at one point that it was going to hit us by 2032. But now we're down to a quarter of one percent. So celebrate. Don't look up. Don't look up. Meanwhile, let's see. The most important story of the day really is that Canada won the hockey game to become the leader or the winner of the, what the hell was it? You can tell how much I follow hockey. Oh, the highly anticipated Four Nations Championship game. Yeah. So Canada, congratulations. Nice win. see how easy it is to be nice congratulations and i i did turn it on just to see if there'd been any fights over the national anthem yeah it was a little a little complaining about it but no big deal so uh it was probably just a good game i didn't watch the rest but i'm glad we're back to just playing sports and getting over it you know when we have uh disagreements with canada
Scott Adams 2:54
doesn't really feel like other disagreements does it it feels it just feels so much like a sibling kind of a thing where you know one sibling say ah you're really a governor the other sibling is saying ah we'll you know we're a country none of it i take too seriously so it seems all performative but i'm glad we're at least not fighting about hockey you'll be fascinated to know that Stephen King, who left X, is back. And he said, did you miss me? And Elon Musk said that he did. Which actually makes sense if your job is to get a lot of traffic on X. But here's my question. Are we supposed to believe that Stephen King left X because it was so terrible? but then he returned after it got, I would imagine, in his point of view, even worse.
Scott Adams 4:01
Doesn't it seem like Stephen King is doing this for a job? Now, I know he doesn't need the money, and I wouldn't call it a job per se, but do you think he's just doing it completely independently and that one day he said, you know what would be really fun is if I lose half of my customers by taking a firm political stand? and then being totally abused online for months and months and months and months. Did he do that because he just thought it was fun? It couldn't have possibly been fun. And then he left, and I thought, oh, okay, well, maybe he was doing it for fun, and it stopped being fun. And now he's back. Doesn't it feel exactly like he's being, let's say, managed by some other entity? I don't know what it would be. But it definitely doesn't look like anything organic. So, I don't know. Meanwhile, there's a mystery on X. One of the more, say, notable users of X, Brian Romelli, he's been suspended. Now, since I don't know why he was suspended, I don't have a firm opinion on it, but I don't recall him being the type of person who would be suspended.
Scott Adams 5:21
Because he doesn't say provocative things about anything. So whatever the reason is, it's going to be something we didn't see coming. Now, the only thing I could think is that he was working hard to make sure that people had good private AIs they could run on their own devices. And he was experimenting a lot with AI. And is it possible he said something about AI or did something with AI that
