      Current storyline is taking place after winter break, so this could have been before their falling out.

        Judging by the length of Becky’s hair, I think you are correct!

          It was mentioned that Joyce stayed at Becky’s place over Christmas break so that is when this New Years took place.

            Becky’s place? I thought her home was foreclosed upon (and right near where Joyce’s parents live) and she lost the apartment when she stopped being a campaign manager for Representative DeSantos. Where is Becky’s place?
            What’s the link for that? I must have missed it.

          Joyce isn’t wearing glasses so I’d say it’s confirmed

    For Willis’ perennial posting of that Spiderverse leap of faith meme on NYE, it was almost predetermined that he’d come up with his own twist.

    Well done.

    Bonne année to all.

I find there's always at least one person following me who doesn't know this: The first kiss between two Transformers in TF fiction was between Arcee, a transgender (yes you read that right) lesbian, and Aileron, another female Autobot. Also the original voice actor is a gay woman. Arcee is ours.
YOU GOT THE KISS

YOU GOT THE POWERRRRRRRRR YEAH

A lot of stuff going on in this lede
Seventeen days after Roland Beainy, the face of the viral restaurant Trump Burger
and an ardent fan of the president, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accused of not being in
the country legally, lyad Abuelhawa — who founded the Trump Burger forerunner in 2016; whose wife recently slammed Beainy for taking credit for their idea; who, 20 years ago, was accused of injecting
1,100 Exxon Mobil employees with fake flu vaccines and then, while in jail, snitched on another inmate's murder-for-hire-plot
before pleading guilty in his own case — was also detained by ICE and is being held in untenable conditions, according to his attorney.

Remember when Blockbuster Video gave a dude so many late fees he decided we should all borrow DVDs in the mail and then destroy the entire cable industry and shove a weird hot metal spike up the movie industry's keister for both better and worse? Anyway, never underestimate the power of spite.

Earlier this month at TFN I saw the amazing TF None panel by @chrismcfeely.bsky.social & @jimsorenson.bsky.social and I absolutely fell in love with the proposed version of Megatron. So after a little paint and 3d printing, I'm very excited to reveal my custom Negator!

Fun thing about reading the DC x Sonic comics is that it’s interspersed with these ads for other DC comics that I have zero context for. Why is Batman shouting “hush” while dealing with a nosebleed? I’ll never know.
An ad for Batman Hush 2 Chapter 3 #160 I think? There are a lot of numbers, I don’t really know what it is, sorry. Batman is in front of the word HUSH repeated in the background, and he’s gripping his head and blood’s coming out from under his mask.
