    Bruce always worries when his children disappear or leave Gotham, but he gets even worse when it's Dick or Tim.

    This is the thing, Jason goes off world with Kori and Roy and comes back calmer and saner.

    Cassandra rarely stays in Gotham. She has a hard time remembering to call home, but she does, and Bruce is immensely happy to hear from her.

    Damian goes off and returns with a sense of self and victory. He had a lot of fun with Jon, no one knows what they were up to.

    Dick leaves and when he's back, he is carrying 3000 new tons of ✨trauma✨. He's been tortured, held hostage, save a small planet, lost his teammates. It's been a hellish week, let alone a month.

    Tim disappears, doesn't call, doesn't text, nobody knows where he is. He comes back one day with a longer criminal record and the loyalty of a gaggle of assorted unhinged individuals.

    Bruce trusts Jason, Cass and Damian to be responsible. Dick attracts danger, and Tim stumbles into it instead of sidestepping it.

    This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

    image

    Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.

  • heartachedreamboy

    thank u. i hate it a little less but the horrible little man in my head is still screaming “BOG BODY BOG BODY BOG BODY”, but i appreciate the education,

  • bomberqueen17

    oh here is a fun lil perspective on cranberry harvesting i never heard about anywhere else. the guy who owns the restaurant right down the road from the farm, who fries our chickens sometimes, is from Boston, with the strongest Boston accent ever, and in a former life before he started slinging reasonably priced barbeque and occasional organic chicken, he was a cranberry farmer.

    His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. 

    This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.

    Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.

    So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”

    “You’d be amazed,” he said to us, shaking his head a little, “how many guys would just straight lie. Like, you think I’m asking you that question to be cute? Nah man you’re gonna have like a hundred wolf spiders trying to climb your eyebrows, you gotta be chill, those wolf spiders are fellow employees. You really gotta be chill with spiders if you’re gonna work a cranberry harvest.”

    happy international workers day to the cranberry bog spiders

  • indigobluerose

    I want any cranberry farmers reading this to know, really truly know, that “are you cool with spiders” is not a specific enough question for this situation.

    I pointed this out in a Discord server I'm in and thought Id share here:

    Bob Iger announced that Disney is going to absorb Hulu, and Hulu will no longer exist next year. All shows will move to the Disney+ app.

    Disney also announced they were going to remove shows and movies periodically from their streaming services.

    I believe both of these moves are because of the Writers Strike.

    Disney knows its going to lose the strike. There is too much public support. Specifically, the WGA is going to win writers getting more residuals from streaming.

    So if Disney takes shows off of streaming, they dont have to pay the writers the residuals.

    They are going to use excuses like "not enough funding for the server capacity" or "not enough views to warrent keeping the show". These are BULLSHIT. Its all greed. Its only GREED.

    Pay attention to what happens in the following weeks.

    And keep supporting the writers' strike.

    Genuinely just a good man. Wife adopts teenage witch that needs a place to stay in the city? Sure. Even though you got a kid on the way? That’s fine. Cat too? Love cats. 

  • furrama

    My favorite moment with him is when he goes to get some prepped baking sheets and he does this fancy twirl with them in front of Jiji. Like, there’s no other people in the room, he does this to impress a cat.

    I don’t think he ever says more than a whole word the entire movie, and I still love him more than most Disney princes based on this one moment alone.

  • fujiwaradivebar

    And the part where he wanted to surprise Kiki by making that beautiful elaborate sign OUT OF BREAD to advertise her business and he was all anxious for her to get home and see it

    image

    But then when he sees her coming he gets all bashful and runs away 😭

    the most underrated thing about the ghibli movies is how deeply they are love stories to working people, to the small folk, to moments of love and kindness. its not just about magic, many movies are about magic and fairytales. Its not only about the people in the stories, but about stories in the people. And they are just loveable.

    when you’re out at a restaurant or a coffee shop or a target or whatever with your friends and you overhear/eavesdrop the same snippet of some stranger’s conversation, and you look at each other for a second to check that you both heard this stranger say the same weird/funny/baffling thing and just break out in knowing grins and quiet laughter… that’s a love language

    I was eating alone at a mexican restaurant once and a group of college kids were chatting over tortilla chips. There was some jabber and then..

    “ ..we had to climb over the bob wire!”

    “Dude, did you just say ‘bob wire’?”

    “Yea man, that spiky shit!”

    “You actually think it’s called bob wire? Like fucking Robert wire? You think it’s called Robert wire?”

    “Well what the hell do you think it’s called?”

    “It’s BARB wire you idiot! Like Barbara wire!”

    *the third guy* “Oh my god. You guys. BARBED wire. Because the wire has barbs, it is BARBED.”

    “Oohhhhh!”

    “Fucking Robert and Barbara wire. Fuck you guys.”

  • consuelodoodles

    I hope Robert and Barbara Wire are in a happy and committed relationship.

    Listen.

    Feral stalker baby Tim would ABSOLUTELY create a plan to fuck up two face for what he did to dick and joker for Jason. Therefore, I believe that once Tim's parents are dead and the batfam are helping him clear out his stuff from drake manor, they would find his notebooks, mostly drawings of robin and writings and observations, but then Steph finds the Revenge Plans and all hell breaks loose

    Without saying too much my dad manages a research-grade supercluster computer for work. According to him, most of what you read about LLM softwares like chatGPT is complete bullshit made up by marketing teams to make AI seem more powerful than it actually is.

    It is currently threatening exactly one job: people who synthesize specialized technical information into form letters.

  • sparklyeevee

    Question: is that the only job it's actually able to replace, or the only job from which people are realistically likely to be laid off because someone thinks they can be replaced?

  • alexseanchai

    Option one, probably. Also I know someone who has lost at least one writing gig bc some automated detector of whether something was written by AI threw a false positive. So.
