NEVER KILL YOURSELF DAN AND PHIL HARD LAUNCH ON A RANDOM MONDAY IN 2025

a man who would go back into the closet for 15 years for you without even blinking, without even thinking there’s anything to forgive you for, fully believing all that patience and time and space and agony was completely worth it because he loves you that much and is that devoted to you. a horrible liar who spends 15 years lying because you aren’t ready to tell the truth yet. you might think that this man doesn’t exist but he does. and his name is phil lester

Saved by the actual killer; let's not forget that Luigi Mangione was almost certainly framed and is most likely not The Claims Adjuster. (I love that name. Robin Hoodie was good too, but The Claims Adjuster is perfect.)

I mean. Days after the killing, he is still carrying around the weapon and a handwritten manifesto in his backpack? A 3d printed weapon, which he could have melted down and destroyed, or thrown into the Hudson River, because the thing about 3d printed guns is that unlike standard manufactured guns, it's really hard to identify who printed them? When his bag was searched out of anyone's sight, hours after his arrest? By a notoriously corrupt police district under pressure to make an arrest?

We need to stop accepting reflexively the narrative the NYPD and the media have tried to sell us; it's got way too many holes in it and it runs the risk that an innocent man will spend his life in jail or be executed for a crime he didn't commit. The fact that we would all support him if he did commit it is irrelevant; the state will grind him through the gears of injustice if it can.

This 100%. Several students in my ethics class a few weeks ago wanted to discuss "Luigi Mangione killing a healthcare CEO" and were very confused when I said that no, we do not know that he did it. One person even told me they thought he confessed. This narrative that we know he did it, and we now must only consider our thoughts on his actions has become insanely prevalent. Even the professor went along with it without question.

not to mention that the DOJ is seeking THE DEATH PENALTY for a man who was arrested without any convincing evidence whatsoever + several points of evidence towards his innocence.

lucy gray taking a bow after her reaping song. haymitch applauding snow while presenting him with louella’s corpse. katniss twirling around in a flaming dress in front of the entire country. peeta painting a portrait of rue for the gamemakers.

district twelve really said, “you want a show? we’ll give you a show.”

i’m so appreciative to suzanne for reframing the rebellion from the original trilogy as a “they saw their moment and took it” type situation and showing us that they’ve been trying, over and over, with so many failed attempts, to break the arena and incite a rebellion for decades. in this current political climate never giving up hope is so essential. haymitch wasn’t the first nor the last, and they kept going even when it seemed completely futile, and that’s what counts, and what ultimately saves them all.

So excited for my favorite group of adventurers to go to hell tomorrow!

twitter is making me insane. everyone repeat after me: rocky horror was, moreso and before all else, a parody movie. a spoof. a direct, satirical reference to the sci-fi and creature feature canon of the golden age of hollywood. the opening song literally lists a huge chunk of the movies that it is directly spoofing. rocky horror was a parody flick like..... fucking,, "epic movie" of the '00s except 1) nobody had beaten the concept to death yet 2) it had bangers 3) it was written by some gay weirdo theater kids back when that was edgier and chiefly 4) this was the era when gay weirdo theater kids were writing bangers. it was so popular because it was funny and full of popular references to movies everyone had seen and was excitingly weird because gay weirdo theater kids had not yet penetrated culture and it had bangers, and also meat loaf was in it. it was not just some gay mecca of a film because straight people of that generation fucking love rocky horror, but the fact that straight people of that age fucking love rocky horror allowed their kids to see rocky horror and go to screenings way younger than they'd be allowed to see media made by gay weirdos normally so you then got a generation of shadow casts that did have a ton of gay kids running and attending them and who by and large didn't get the references in the movie. which is fine because the way we engage with and interact with media changes over time and it can exist both in the context of its origin and the context of the present. but my g-d some of you people have both lost the thread of history and are acting very stupid about this. the writer of rocky horror has been on estrogen longer than half of you people have been alive. genderqueer people of a certain age often don't have 100% perfect progressive politics. have i covered everything yet, what am i missing. someday we will be free of this discourse and i will ascend perfectly into the sky.

helium-argon-co2

realized i didn't make this explicitly clear but every single one of the ""problematic"" scenes and tropes people love to go on about in rocky horror are explicit parodies of extant and nearly inescapable pulp sci fi/horror tropes of the time, like they were referencing movies and comics and media that the viewer base grew up with, the sex scenes and frank n furter as a character, etc are so over the top because they are parodies

#and the joke is not 'sexual assault is funny' the joke is like#bela lugosi as dracula! the joke is the concept of like#this ~disgusting monster~ who is so ~sexually compelling~ that ~somehow~ the dashing protagonist is simply helpless to resist#the joke is THE PULP the joke is that there were a lot of BAD MOVIES out there with BAD SCRIPTS and DUMB CONCEPTS#the joke is bad acting!!!! the joke is that a lot of movies sucked and were silly!!!!!!#the joke is that being ~compelled~ is a silly excuse to get some weird sex on screen!!!!

Mickey Mouse's entry into the public domain comes with significant caveats. While the Mickey Mouse who appears in Steamboat Willie (and other media published in 1928 or earlier) is free to use, there's established precedent that specific elements of a character which appear exclusively in later works which still fall under copyright may be protected, if sufficiently distinctive.

(This is the basis of, e.g., the infamous "Sherlock Holmes can't respect women" lawsuit: the Doyle estate, which at the time owned only a tiny handful of the latest-written stories, the others having already fallen into the public domain, argued that specific personality traits which Holmes exhibits only in those later stories are sufficiently distinctive as to be the valid subject of an infringement claim.)

With respect to various elements of Mickey's visual design, such as his red shorts and signature gloves, the matter is clear: just don't use those for another few years. However, there's another thing Mickey's public domain iterations don't exhibit: speech.

The present consensus among copyright scholars seems to be that "a character speaking" is not sufficiently distinctive as to qualify for protection, but the vocal characterisation with which Mickey Mouse is famously associated may so qualify. So, if you want to be scrupulously safe, you can have him talk, but not in that exact specific voice.

Which raises a fun question: what voice would you give him? Wrong answers only.
