Episode 470: Scott Adams "Cancelled"

Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss TikTok trends, liability when criminals get hurt on a victim's property (or when they're stealing your catalytic converter and you run them over), a Republican that thinks dead kids are better than kids who need long-term care at the State's expense, Scott Adams once again proves he's a terrible person (in my opinion) and the company making the most money off him decide to disassociate themselves (for awhile?), and some AI and school talk happens.
