          According to the tags you’re Sue. And the tags are never wrong (apart from the time it mistaken named Reginald the duke of thingley as Walky).

            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.

            After a bit of searching (as I mentioned before, she’s untagged herself so I had to search the “Roz” tag), I found that first cameo I was thinking of: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/02-that-perfect-girl/teams/

            Note the hovertext in that strip.

    On the one hand i should be very cincerned about Dorothy being late but my foresight of seeing Leslie’s relationship go down in flames is taking precedence at the moment. 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.

            Time code sounds like it needs to be used as a phrase in a Doctor Who story.

          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/introducing-the-bathys-cesium-133-atomic-clock-watch
          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.”

    Oh dear; I’m thinking that Dorothy has crashed and is blacked out somewhere in a pile of books. Whilst that would look cute, it is unlikely to be healthy for her. Maybe they should send Walky to find her? I mean, it’s not as if he generally gets any benefit from attending lessons or anything…! 😉

    Honestly…she could also be skipping this class for the sake of the other one. If the other one was ‘more important’ (more credits, more relevant for her education as she imagines it to be), she might even drop it…

    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.

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).

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
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
