    Maybe Carla and Lucy are actually really good friends. I could see Carla being into Rifftrax, it’s all about mockery, so maybe they have a shared interest.

      Damn, and now that I see what’s going on, I’m not sure how I feel about it. Is Ruth going to apologize? Surely not, she was standing up for herself. Well, maybe apologizing for how it was delivered, but the message was legit. Is she actually going to try to support Billie through her problem, while Billie is still in the denial stage, while still in the baby steps of her own recovery?

      I would speculate that she is only there to finalize a breakup, but the conversation with Walky implies otherwise, if I understood that correctly. That was what that Walky convo was about, right? Being good to/for Billie?

        If she’s not good for Billie, they need to break up. That could be the direction here.

          Billie’s flippant toxicity is no good for Ruth’s recovery. For her own mental health Ruth needs to either offer Billie an ultimatum or sever and move on.

          Considering Ruth has opened up to Carla before, and Lucy has picked up on a few subtleties of their relationship, I think this is the perfect set-up for that to play out.

      April 28, 2019 at 12:34 am | #

      I think that relationship was pretty strange even before Ruth’s crash and reinstatement, given that a) Ruth run her wing like a bully tyrant and behaved exactly like a person an RA is supposed to be on the lookout for, and b) Chloe indicated that even for that, Ruth was the only competent one of the bunch.

      • Schpoonman
        Schpoonman
        April 28, 2019 at 12:09 pm | #

        Given that Chloe has shown all the classic signs of being an idiot combined with what seems to be fairly tame conditions in other dorms, I’m going to go out on a limb that she has it backwards, and only thought Ruth doing well was simply an absence of complaints.

        Other dorms get stuff like “My RA wrote me up for using a homophobic slur,” or “My RA wouldn’t let me in his room to keep punching my floormate for (insert horrible reason X).”

    The human mind is a strange thing. Or at least mine is.

    When I saw the title of the strip (“Seventh”), some part of my brain instantly went to “Cell Block Tango” from Chicago. “Pop! Six! Squish! Uh-uh! Cicero! Lipschitz!” I don’t know where that part of my brain was going with that, but I can tell you this:

    She had it coming, she had it coming,
    She only had herself to blame,
    If you’d have been there, if you had heard it,
    I betcha you would have done the same!

      What I liked was that, in their last appearance together, Carla frankly told Lucy that she could be annoying, self-centred and pushy but Lucy has decided to invite her over despite that. I hope that Carla has finally found someone who can like her despite her many bad qualities and encourage her to good qualities. After all, if Carla gets acceptance, she may not feel the need to be so abrasive anymore.

        I’m pretty sure Pl0x is just theorizing that Spencer might be non-binary or a trans man

          Or she could be a trans woman who doesn’t have breasts. But I don’t actually think that’s likely, because if she didn’t take HRT, how did she ‘prove’ to doctors and officials she’s a trans woman? Would bottom surgery be enough, in that case?

          And yeah, I’m theorizing the possiblility of Spencer being transgender or nonbinary.

    Carla has a Switch! I wonder what games she has. Since she’s blowing bubble gum I’ll assume she’s enjoying a certain game with Dixie Kong in it.

    I’m sure that there is a long, complicated and only semi-believable story to explain what Carla is doing in Billie and Lucy’s room but I doubt Ruth is going to feel that she has sufficient spare sanity to deal with it.

    No, what she is here fore and what she needs to spend all of her focus on, is to ask Billie whether they are going to try to do this still or whether they should part ways now. The thing is that I’m not sure either of them are necessarily ready to confront this issue, no matter how much they should.

    I’m so confused about what is happening here. I honestly have no clue what is going on or why any of these people are in the same space. Or even who the first non-Ruth person IS.

      * Ruth is going to Forrest Hall (another dorm) to talk to Billie to determine if they’re still girlfriends or are now ex-girlfriends; understandably, this is an emotional journey that she’s reluctant to take;
      * Spencer is the RA for this floor of Forrest Hall;
      * Carla and Lucy have apparently decided to be friends or, at the very least, Lucy has decided that her contribution to society is to keep Carla focussed on her rather than randomised ‘look at me!’ outbursts.

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).

I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
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.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
