TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE (2026) dir. austin peters

[dittography-direwolf]

Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs

[adventures-in-poor-planning]

Reasons not to have your dog offleash at a public park:

1) roads (this one is self-explanatory)

2) it makes the park inaccessible to like, entire swathes of the population. If you have experience with police dogs or guard dogs in your neighborhood, or you're a new immigrant from somewhere with a large population of feral dogs, it sucks ass going to the park and having someone's massive lab bound up to you!

3) If, for example, you are in a protected wetland area plastered with friendly signs asking you to please leash your dog to avoid causing an ecological impact, having your dog offleash might cause an ecological impact! "Oh no, my dog is well-behaved, they would never bother the wildlife" wrong! your dog is in the pond trying to eat the endangered Blandings' turtles!

4) Non-zero chance of a jokerified park guide (me) just clipping your dog to a leash and stealing them

Unleashed dogs were the bane of my existence when my little girl was like 5 or 6. My daughter just had this weird little thing where she is scared of animals twice her size sprinting up to her, knocking her over, and then invading her personal space despite her being clearly distressed.

"Oh don't worry they don't bite!" First off, I don't believe you actually know that for sure. Second, that is hardly the only problem here. My daughter was so scared of dogs that she would cry and had to be picked up and protected to feel safe whenever she saw one for years because of this bullshit.

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

I was gonna describe Palpatine’s spaces as like the bloody insides of a large beast, but the more I thought about it

…Palpatine’s office is a womb right? Its where Sidious’ perfect apprentice is developed. He’s nurtured in this space by Palpatine until he Anakin leaves it reborn Vader.

Like there’s really so much to say about Palpatine and yonic symbolism.

He’s also almost an anti-mother. With Anakin only knowing a mother’s love, and both of his major conflicts being about saving his mother and the mother of his children, Palpatine is a perversion of both. With Palpatine eventually replacing both Shmi and Padmé. Initially taking a nurturing role throughout his conflict over his mother, and eventually becoming the person Vader is most dedicated to through his conflict over Padmé.

Shmi’s child (Anakin) dies and is reborn Darth Vader. Idk it’s just paired with the raw bloody entrance like outfit we wears. They’re in this red organ like office and Vader is being born through Sidious. Its almost a gory birth scene.

Then there’s like the inverse of Anakin with his mother happening in this scene. With Palpatine arriving on time.

[bucketofdeltav]

...okay I had to read the words 'Palpatine and yonic symbolism' with my own two eyes so now you do too. I wish I could find one single thing about this to dispute but I can't.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

I can dispute it pretty easily; George Lucas is a hack who couldn't symbolize his way out of a paper bag. There's no way this was intentional on his part.

[stagbeetleboy]

Counter argument

Although I do think George Lucas’s intentions with Palpatine was to create a warped “father figure”, and that he’s misogynistic enough write a bad father as man who leans too far into mother territory.

I mean there is definitely a reason Palpatine presents himself as delicate and nurturing, and that his persona is more in line with Padmé than the warrior hero Obiwan.

It was also comply intentional to have the scene were Vader is put into his suit happen simultaneously with the birth of Luke and Leia. So George Lucas did at least consider Anakin becoming Vader as being “reborn”. The Jedi die and the Empire is born. Anakin dies Vader is born (and the last bit of Anakin dies with Padmé but secretly persists though their children) The Emperor dies and Anakin is reborn. Death and rebirth is what starwars is all about.

The birth rebirth stuff was completely purposeful, the rest is interpreting things that do technically exist within the films that can be read to support it. Which is why I brought up death of the author. The costuming and set design is present and the can be interpreted as yonic. Either as a happy accident or an artistic Freudian slip.

Thank god I’m working up north this month

[geopsych]

The Eckville flower fields, the way they were in 2021, a year without drought. Sometimes you would see goldfinches and indigo buntings going from plant to plant, many kinds of butterflies sailing from one bloom to another and hear woodland birds like wood thrushes and scarlet tanagers singing from the woods along the edge, plus bluebirds and others singing from a tree here and there. In this there’s a house wren singing.

More from that day
