How to get Cap to watch Phantom of the Opera:
Guillermo del Toro says he would be interested in doing a new ‘PHANTOM OF THE OPERA’ film

“It’s such a classic tale but I would do it differently. I have a couple of ideas but for now, I’m going into crime and stop-motion”

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

“If you’re angry about THIS, but not about THAT—“

Bro I’m gonna have to stop you there, I am angry about so many things all of the time, I have never in my life been angry about just one thing at a time, my capacity for “things to be angry about” is as wide and as deep as the sea
Pay writers & artists, and if you can’t pay writers & artists, donate to an org that makes sure writers & artists can keep making their art.
If mainstream creators want to publicly engage w/fanworks of their work, they should donate to a 501(c)3 nonprofit like The Organization of Transformative Works, which houses Archive of Our Own, publishes an academic journal on fandom, and fights legislation that seeks to censor or outlaw fanworks.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist
Reposted by Cap ✨ Polly Cocktail
Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”
Reposted by Cap ✨ Polly Cocktail
Baby that’s just…*Leverage*
One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool
Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

Today a couple of older, normie people asked me why frogs, and when I told them about Portland, about how nobody can take a photo where they look like a badass armed warrior next to a frog, they immediately got it.
The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...
Purdue student journalists deliver special 'solidarity' newspaper to IU Bloomington campus
The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.
