       For those who may be interested in such things, Fritz Lang's masterpiece 1927 movie "Metropolis" is set to enter the public domain on January 1, 2023! That movie,  along with many other creative works will now be available for plunder, remixing or whatever else we please to do with them.

       @stux @feditips Love the retro install graphic circa 1994. Does it come with a free subscription to AOL and a 56 Kb/s modem? 😆

       All too often true progenitors never get their fair shake from history. We keep hearing that Bill Haley, Elvis and others were the early pioneers of Rock&Roll when in fact charismatic Sister Rosetta Tharpe was arguably one of its true creators (along with Wynonie Harris)Rock&Roll Hall of Fame belatedly inducting her in 2018 when they were forced to is a textbook example of the lingering effects of decades of selective cultural institutionalized racism. #blackmastodon #blackfriday #unsungheroes

       This oldie but goodie is pretty self-explanatory, and worthy of a repost. Fans of #customerservice should find this very relatable. #Caturday #hiss #feline
