      She’ll channel whatever frustration she has into more slash first. I mean when you have enough of them floating around your head you got to put them on paper to get them out.

    Amber’s headspace is a gigantic unbroken chain of slashfic, occasionally drowned out by superheroism and child abuse and whatnot, but never actually interrupted

    meaning even when she was slicing up that one guy or beating the shit out of Blaine or stabbing Sal in the hand, somewhere in her head was still a narration of Batman peening Superman

        In America we say “math,” but in England (and various other countries that use British grammar) they say “maths.” Jason, as a Brit, uses the latter and thus probably was the one to set up that board.

      Actually, I’m in a bit of agreement with SRN.

      I’m pretty sure that sex WOULD jeopardize their friendship. I’m pretty sure that Walky would start obsessing about her opinion of him, which would undercut the entire honesty-of-Garbage-Roof dynamic, which is basically what these two have going as a pair.

      Yup, clearly not having sex is the rational approach, and because sex would be irrational, they won’t have sex.

    Amber, don’t. You are garbage roof buddies, and it would be bad for that relationship to end into a sexual mess. I am not saying this because of Amber x Danny, or Walky x Dorothy, but because more relationship dramas would cause the Indiana University to have an explosion like the toilet explosion from Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.

    Is this happening?

    Because in the last panel it sounds like she’s crushing more on Sal—

    Oh.

    OH.

    Does this mean if it wasn’t Sal, herself, who the flash back girl–

    Wait. What happens when Amber finds out they ARE related ?

    I’m glad to see that Walky actually decided to stick with his decision 🙂 I was proud of him already yesterday, but even more so now. It’s much harder to actively take the steps to cancel a situation that is beneficial to you (but achieved with less than moral means), than simply calling off the plan when nothing wrong has yet been done. It would have been so easy to do nothing.

    Of course, cheating wouldn’t really have solved the main problems like the fact that Walky still wouldn’t understand the material, doesn’t know how to study and it probably would have only worsened his self-esteem issues. Which doesn’t really make it seem any less a tempting offer though. He was offered a solution that would at least make it possible for him to pretend that everything was fine and “normal” again, and he refused to take it. Well done Walky!

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
