The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.

"I loathe the word identity. An Identity is never an objective category. It is a deeply personal& emotional choice. If you want to explore that for yourself, fine. But the moment you try imposing your definitions on others and sort people into categories, I, as a historian&a German, get v.nervous.“

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

This is undoubtedly true and I think a lot of companies have bet heavily on IP on the mistaken understanding that there are "forever" characters or acts, when they're subject to quite rapid decay.

From the makers of "Insect Lives" and "Creatures with Jobs":

A rubbish movie poster for: TOY FILM. Along with this title and the words "only in a selected cinema" we see the two main characters. They are toys that have come to life, if you can imagine such a thing. One is The Long Cowboy, the other is Bob Spaceman. Both have a passing similarity to Woody and Buzz from some other film, but a bit more haunted and, well, rubbish. The Long Cowboy is saying "i am full of snakes" and Bob Spaceman is saying "let's gooooo ... to space!"
