            Well, the tags have been wrong before.

            In fact, they’re wrong now.

            There should be a tag for ‘No Dorothy’. She’s right there in Panel 6.

              Once we have ‘No Dorothy’ tagged properly, we’ll then need to try to get ‘Dorothy’ and ‘No Dorothy’ in the same strip to prove what heavy duty philosophers we are.

          It looked like she had been up all night, and we only saw her briefly at the beginning of “Face the Strange” so who knows how she spent Sunday. “Passed out from exhaustion somewhere between her last class and her councilor’s office” would be my guess.

      There was a Yale rep on campus and Dorothy was able to arrange a meeting at the last minute. Her Yale scholarship is now secured. Her email to Leslie is sitting in Leslie’s inbox, which Leslie hasn’t checked in the last twenty minutes.

        TECHNICALLY probably off-screen if they’re dating and stuff right now. But they haven’t kissed as far as we’ve seen! I meant moreso that Leslie definitely has the urge to kiss (and more) Anna and was hoping she’d resist her attraction due to not being ready to date yet.

Although it seems like the same might be said of Dorothy(fingers crossed that’s not the case) so I guess I should just pickup some marshmallows.

        my understanding is that it’s a misnomer though. it receives radio signals from a central atomic clock, but the watch itself doesn’t have an atomic time source.

          I wouldn’t say it a misnomer, its just an additional portable display for an atomic clock. The time is still derived from the same source.

          Yeah, there’s a longwave radio station in Colorado that broadcats time code. If you’ve ever bought a clock or wireless thermometer that knew what time it was automatically without an Internet connection, it’s probably listening to that.

          This post is going to get eaten by the spam filter, but…

          It’s usually a misnomer, but thanks to the US military’s precise timing demands, there’s a cesium oscillator that’s small enough to be portable now.

          And, there’s a couple wristwatches using it:

          https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/richard-hoptroffs-atomic-watch-prototype-combines

          They’re… not small, but they are wristwatches, and they are actually atomic.

Things might go wrong with Anna, but some of it will be on *Leslies* terms. It still wasn’t right to dump Mandy like she did, especially with the “not ready yet” phrase, but I kept hearing a “not yet and on my own terms.”

    Though that’s probably too much theorising. Maybe she’s also just late or something, or asleep, or passed out, as other people suggested.

    Thinking about it, Leslie’s personal drama has sort of derailed the class for the last several months in-universe (year IRL). A little acknowledgement on her part is a nice touch.

    Still say that they need to send someone to find Dorothy. I’m genuinely concerned for her health and safety at this point.

      Same. My developmental psychology class had around 150 students in it, so the professor didn’t take attendance. I went to the first month or so of lectures, but soon realized that everything they went over in class could be found in the slides the prof uploaded to the class website thing. Tests had to be taken in the lecture hall, but quizzes, assignments, homework, etc, all was online so eventually I stopped going to that class since it was sandwiched between two other classes and I liked being able to hop home to relax between. I passed with a B only because during Spring Break, the professor had two assignments due and I missed one of them because it was the ONLY time we had two assignments due in the same week.

The Clones of Dr. Funkenbush @dochackenbush.bsky.social ⋅ 3h
I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here
Still from an episode of Columbo. He is is a restaurant kitchen next to a woman in red. Closed caption reads “That smells like beef. Is that beef?”
Same as before, Columbo in a kitchen with the woman in a red outfit. He’s leaning over the gas hob. Closed caption reads: “That’s beef.”

Optimus Prime broke down and cried on the set of "Transformers" (2007) due to the extensive use of green screen filming. He reportedly said, "This is not why I became an actor."

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno
