    Dotty training to be the next Bat(wo)man

    …

    undecided on whether a Batperson would actually make a good president

        Dick Grayson would be the best at everything because he’s the most down to earth Batperson. Babs is good too though cuz she’d just know a lot about the job because she’s smart. Maybe Dick can be vice-president and just be the person who talks to the citizens and stuff while babs makes the big decisions.

          Bruce Wayne is basically a brooding loner tortured by guilt and anger he can’t express.

          Dick Grayson is a well-adjusted guy much more like Clark Kent because Bruce never let that bleed out on him.

          Except in HBO’s Titans, at least.

            She also got back into politics for a bit in 2018. Wish that went longer, Barbara is my favourite and that was imo the best run since Simone. As part of someone’s campaign team rather than a congresswoman or… whatever else elected politicians are called but it was her involved in politics

                It was 1972, so technically after the Southern Strategy started, but it took time to really shift the party, especially outside of the deep South.
                And probably longer for comic writers to catch up.

      Probably, which might invite the (correct) suggestion she’s actually kind of a terrible person in her own little way. Maybe Dorothy tries to learn from her, though. “Teach me how to be a piece of shit.”

    I worked for my universities civic engagement department it was part of university financial aid program where I worked a job and got some money. Pay was shit but I got alot free food and my boss would pay me cash off the books. Beacuse the university didn’t think I needed a livable wage. I was actually good at the job data analysis and the willingness to travel all over the county (gas and parking where covered by the university using the department card)

    Now we get on some extracurriculars. Then again, purely ethical reasoning can be a bore sometimes.

    Looks like we’re not referencing any song for this chapter, so I’ll play the Muzak version of… Millennium by Robbie Williams?

    Re: Alt Text: Because elevators are expensive, why have two to a building when one would work just fine?

    My freshman dorm was separated by gender, but only for the living and shitting rooms. Stairs and Elevators and Exits were all outside the gender-specific zones, because why would it not be, why build two elevators for a single-digit-story dorm?!

      Also because if one elevator breaks down or is down for maintenance, people with mobility issues are trapped. If there are two elevators, there is only a problem if both break down at the same time, much less likely.

    Dorothy is going to critically think those sensitive, ethical, issues, so hard, the rest of the Club will just automatically want to put her in charge. Of course, she will turn down the initial offer, maybe even the second; one can never be too amibitious.

    I don’t think the Valentine’s Day drama this year will be the elevator that opens in front of Lucy showing Walky and Dorothy kissing passionately because that would be too easy. But I wouldn’t mind having that kind of melodrama.

    At first I read this as Walky saying, “Hey Dorothy, [are you] up for an early jog [with me]?”

Who should be the default doodle for Book 14?

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."

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
