The Agency to Classify and Monitor Evildoers

The official blog of A.C.M.E., an organization which you may know nothing about, ever. Job applications are currently ambiguous (if you get kidnapped, you'll know!); asks are open. Beef with @vileacademyofficial.

Welcome to A.C.M.E.! We are the police you should rat people out to

WE'RE FREE!!!!! Thanks for using your awesome detective skills to sniff out where VILE was hiding us!

Have you seen Carmen Sandiego, ever? Well, this may be the place for you. It may not. You'll know if we shoot you in the face and drag you into a dark, locked supply closet and then handcuff you to a chair.

Our ask box is open. We invite you to submit questions, but since we are super duper secret we will only be able to answer them to the best of our ability. You may also ask a staff member. Who is our staff? Me, the Apprentice. Or, you can ask any of our fine agents.

If you see Carmen Sandiego OR any operatives who mention an organization called "VILE" we invite you to perform a citizen's arrest immediately and call us so we can deploy some agents to your precise location and drag you into a discreet area.

Borson! Fav weather and is your last name time from your dad or mom side?

[I'm making Bronson answer this because I assume that's who you meant. -Apprentice]

I think a sky full of cumulus couds with bits of blue peeking through is as beautiful as it gets. The name is from my dad's side of the family.

Hey Zari! Who’s your least annoying coworker?

Hmmm. Probably Argent. Does Chief count?

I should’ve guessed you didn’t have a least favourite Julia, but what’s your favourite endangered species of the world? Mine’s the northern white rhino!

I like the Polynesian Tree Snail. They are currently extinct in the wild :-(

Unfortunately, "cuter" species often get more attention. Bugs, "scary" or "ugly" animals don't get as much attention. So, here I am using my work's Tumblr account to talk about an almost-extinct species of snail.

HAPPY PRIDE! And happy one year to the permanent rainbow icon I left because the world was bad. Here's to a good June.

Hey Julia! Least favourite dinosaur?

No such thing!!!

Julia did you know that coelacanths were assumed extinct for 66 million years until one was discovered? They could still exist and probably still do!

I wonder if megalodons still exist out there somewhere? Probably not, but still fun to think about!

Unfortunately, I think we would know about a "Meg," because they are such large creatures that the presence of one would radiate out into the rest of the ocean's ecosystem in noticeable ways. However, it is very cool to think about! I've always loved the speculative science worlds of people like Michael Crichton.

I actually hadn’t been aware of that actually Julia, but did you know some ocean species might not actually be extinct? This is because only a small percentage of our oceans is actually explored so extinct species might still walk among us!

It's hopeful to think about! I read some articles a few months back about the rediscovery of a species that hadn't been seen for decades. Some places are just so difficult for us to reach that we can't verify if or not the species there are still alive...or if there are ones we have yet to discover!

Hey Zari!

Ever been debating something completely stupid with somebody?

I'm partnered with Chase Devineaux. What do you think?

Yo agent Bronson, any urban legend you used to think were real, pretent and in childhood?

I believe I heard that one about the woman whose head is tied on with a ribbon. It scared me as a child.

Julia that actually sound interesting!

Did you know the name megalodon means big tooth? That’s my favourite prehistoric ocean animal, my favourite prehistoric land animal is a sabertooth tiger!

Yes! Those are amazing creatures. It is sad that we will never meet them, but our living animals are just as interesting as the extinct ones. Did you know we currently live on the planet with the largest creature that has EVER inhabited Earth, dinosaurs included?

Hey Julia!

Favorite prehistoric sea creature?

I love a good Opabinia. Who needs alien movies when a five-eyed sea creature with a big old proboscis used to live on our planet?

Hey Agents! What's the best part about your jobs?

We get to see the world! Although its often for unsavory reasons, the places we visit are incredible. Most of us have been to every continent (except Antarctica) and so, so many countries. We get to experience history right in front of us. Having exclusive access to buildings like museums doesn't hurt, either.

[acmeofficial]

Hey Julia!

Have you ever wondered about the darker points of history?

Yes, often. They are just as or more important to study than the more lighthearted parts. We have to be very familiar with them to avoid making the mistakes of the past.

Agen! Bronson did you ever have surgery

Yes, I broke my arm when I was a teenager and they had to operate to put pins in.

Hey Zari!

What’s your opinion on the ACME uniforms on a good day vs a day where there’s a huge case?

The ACME uniforms are nice in that they are tailored to each individual agent. They fit very well and are high-quality materials. That being said, they can be stiff and the skirt is occasionally hard to run in.
