If you have a collection, your responsibility for it extends to how it's handled after you die. It's unlikely your family will care about it as much as you, or know what to do with it if you won't leave *specific* instructions in your will.

Serious moment: I know at least one vast archive of incredible photos of East London's bus and tram history that are lost forever. Because the guy who lovingly took them over decades died without a will and no relatives.
Whole collection lost to house clearance. Probably just binned.

hey @airlineflyer.net funny question, but related: I told you I put you in my will as the person who gets custody of all my aviation photos in the event of my death, yeah?

In the 90s Europe put a levy on CD-Rs which was paid to the recording industry because they might be used to copy music.
AI companies should be made to pay in a similar way.
Music streaming is <8% of revenue.
Library lending ~2%.
Public art resale <4%

Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics
I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.
One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

RE Previous RT. It also depends on medium/long term market sentiment.
If private equity buys up the cheap bonds, and they go back up, then it just transfers wealth from European governments to billionaires.
What really matters is risk of US default. Which would be crazy and unthinkable...

Couldn't we just put a danish flag up in Alaska and let him bomb that for a bit and he'd be happy. It wouldn't even have to be a danish flag, it's not like he'd even recognise it.
