      More seriously, I think there’s been a role reversal, or at least a change in their dynamic. Joyce feels the amount of helpingness between them has been tragically uneven. And now she’s helping not because she’s obligated, but because she can and Dorothy needs it. She’s tucked her in after she drifted to sleep, that’s symbolic. Joyce is a mom friend now too.

      Because the old argument about whether eternal damnation means instant annihilation or ongoing torment is being worked out in the DYW-verse too. And alas, so far it looks like no matter how much we damn Willis, we’re somehow being set up to be tormented over and over and over in return.

      In my head;
      Dorothy doesn’t have the nightmare tonight, and locks in, consciously or unconsciously, that being near Joyce reassures her and keeps the nightmare away. She keeps ‘nodding off’ next to Joyce for the rest of the year, and once they’re no longer in the dorms and now in a house that Joyce, Joe, Sarah, Carla, Walky, and Sal are renting together, Joyce twigs onto “Is Dorothy narcoleptic?” and frog-marches her to a sleep specialist in a mirror of how Dorothy frog-marched her to the ophthalmologist.

    Whatever I may feel about Dorothy not telling Joyce about her problems is erased by Joyce’s unconditional caring about her friend. I have been out-unconditioned by a fictional character.

    Is it way too much to say I enjoy all the Joyce/Dorothy baiting specifically to spite the sealion on Patreon that drove me to nuke my account there?

    But really, it was incredibly irking to have literally every comment section for any given JoJo strip to be riddled with “BuT DoRoThY” including “Joyce is only interested in Joe for his body,” alongside the strip where Joyce was explicitly disappointed with Joe for being a “libido with a face.”

    It’s very insightful and sweet that Joyce has enough emotional intelligence to see Dorothy is struggling, give her some problems to fix, and subtly comfort her about things she can’t control. Joyce can be devious in her own way and fixing the problem so they Dotty doesn’t even know she did anything is so smart.

        On your face or in their case! Never on a surface someone is likely to walk or sit on!

        One time in middle school a teacher got pissed at me for reading a book in my lap, so she grabbed the book and violently slammed it down on the desk, partially brnding my glasses. They blamed me because I was “reading wrong”.

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).

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
