            Would not tea dumped in a harbor become weak, in most settings? Especially the historical setting we are referencing where they certainly did not have enough tea in Boston to make Boston harbor completely tea.

    But isn’t the sock/towel/whatever supposed to be hung on the doorknob to let an absent roommate know something is going on *before* they try to come into the room?  Since Sierra got the bum’s rush out the door, she already knows what’s going down between Dorothy and Walky so hanging a sock on the door now is unnecessary.

      Actually, unless Sierra wants to guard the door full time until they’re done, the sock would serve as a signal that they haven’t come out, yet. (One presumes that Walky would notice the sock as he was leaving and remove it.)

    I still think a sock on the door is a bad idea with Ruth as the RA. No one likely visits Dorothy and Sierra anyway aside from Joyce, and she wouldn’t have a clue what it meant. Ruth on the other hand probably patrols the hall often. A simple locked door seems like their safest bet.

        On the one hand she logically does. On the other hand no other existing major or minor characters appear to be friends with her. If anyone was going to open that door it’d likely be Ruth or Joyce for drama reasons, it probably wouldn’t be a new minor character friend of Sierra. If the door isn’t locked already only Ruth would have a key anyway.

          She knows Billie at least, just not on a friends-lets-go-hang-out way. I imagine in the dorm most of the girls know each other on a name or appearance basis, especially with all the meetings Ruth forces.

            There’ve been two floor meetings in the three weeks of school: One on move-in day, one as part of the fallout of Billie pulling the fire alarm. The latter was required by higher authority; the former probably was as well. Both of them were much more… efficient than any floor meeting I remember from when I was in college.

            The main thing that she’s really gung-ho about is making sure everyone attends.

    I’m honestly interested. Given characteristics within races as I seem to see portrayed by Willis, I’m gonna guess Sierra is some type of black. (I’m guessing entirely based on how he draws Sarah’s hair and Sarah’s and Jacob’s noses). I’m also guessing Sarah has natural hair or some huge dreadlocks, consisering how she wears it.

    GIVEN these guesses, I wonder if Sierra’s hair is natural or relaxed
    .. I mean, there’s no way natural hair would sit that straight, unless she juat flat irons the roots but leaves the ends. Then again, she doesn’t wear shoes so I wonder if she would flat iron at all (natural hair logic).

    I guess she could be texlaxed and have really loose curls. Or maybe not be black at all and I should be asleep at 2:30 AM.

    Honestly curious.  I got the distinct impression that while Walky was exploring new territories this wasn’t necessarily Dorothy’s first rodeo, and we already know about Sal and the TA as well as Joe and Roz.  On the other hand, I’m certain that at the very least Joyce, Dina, Danny, and Amber are still rookies.  So who else in the Dumbiverse is ‘experienced’ and who isn’t?

    It’s all fun and games for Joe right now, but I think we all know that years down the line he’s gonna be nearly broke has he pays for child support on the 3-5 different kids he’s accidentally fathered in his quest for pussy.

    Isn’t the sock to tell the roommate not to go in?

    Because the roommate is Sierra.

    So the whole exercise in not finding a sock also seems to not have a real point. 🙂

    Joe’s hand in the last panel looks weird. I guess he’s meant to be leaning against the wall, but it also looks like he’s leaning forward to snatch Sierra away…

More Asma?

I hope Josh Johnson is given The Daily Show and is allowed to rebuild it from scratch in his own image just like Jon Stewart got to do in 99. He has built his own groundbreaking form of topical comedy, and imitating the style of others is something he is great at, but better than.

do you think Mario, Luigi, and the Princesses have, like, existential crises about the baby versions of themselves also just casually being next to them in all the races like I would be having ego death right now, not leaping triumphantly

Good news for the people still circulating this post: it is now a real t-shirt you can purchase and wear to let the world know you take responsibility for the actions of fictional characters:

Normally I’d let this sort of thing just die out but an alarming amount of you have asked where you can buy this and my wife had to have an emergency surgery the day before I made this, so here is my chance to live the American Dream (selling print-on-demand shirts to pay down medical debt)

Working on a t-shirt to sell to the weird people that show up in your mentions every time you talk about enjoying something that has crime or impure thought in it.

Someone leaked the entire unreleased Micronauts animated series to archive.org All 52 episodes Yes they FULLY FINISHED a Micronauts cartoon in the early 2020s and mothballed it

tested ep1 of Micronauts, skipped to the credits so I could see every name of every crew member who put in so much work with the expectation that anybody would ever see the thing they did as part of their vocation in a creative field, working in service of what should be a reliable client & partner

today in #9chickweedlane i learned that "how to lie" is not, actually, achieved by cupping the balls, despite the evidence of the entirety of the first panel, but by some other giant pile of words i guess, tl;dr

House Republicans have shut down floor votes and will likely adjourn for 6 weeks to avoid voting for the release of the Epstein files.

Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.
