in star wars fandom how is everything about anakin’s fall always everyone else’s fault except the guy who personally designed it to be a no hit run of Sith Apprentice Generator IV
in legends palpatine wrote this book of monsters about sith creations and included an entry for darth vader, and described the amount of joy he got from turning a nine year old into a war machine. the entry ends with maybe the most chilling line in anything even star wars adjacent, where palpatine says, “given the opportunity to create vader again, i would, and with glee,” or thereabouts. the entire entry is haunting, but that final line is completely fucking chilling; palpatine is the ultimate, insidious force, and no matter how long it took, how difficult it was, or what anakin did to him, palpatine wouldn’t have stopped. even after being killed by vader, palpatine would still go back and do it all over again, even if it ended in vader killing him. palpatine - famous for the ways he’s attempted to cheat death - would risk it all just for the joy of curbstomping a nine year old’s soul into hell one more time. and this is just something that exists that we can all read

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “do not stand at my grave and weep” after the poem by mary elizabeth frye. the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
Artificial intelligence is already revolutionizing law enforcement, which has implemented advanced technology in their investigations, but “society has a moral obligation to mitigate the detrimental consequences,” a recent study says.
AI is in its teenage years, as some experts have said, but law enforcement agencies are already integrating predictive policing, facial recognition and technologies designed to detect gunshots into their investigations, according to a North Carolina State University report published in February.
The report was based on 20 semi-structured interviews of law enforcement professionals in North Carolina, and how AI impacts the relationships between communities and police jurisdictions.
Part of the issue is police officers’ general lack of knowledge about AI’s capabilities and how they work, said Ronald Dempsey, the first author of the study and a former graduate student at NC State.
That “makes it difficult or impossible for them to appreciate the limitations and ethical risks,” Dempsey said. “That can pose significant problems for both law enforcement and the public.”
