The famed street artist Banksy is not happy with how his work is being used and monetized in Moscow.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/what-the-hell-banksy-disavows-moscow-exhibition-of-his-work/ar-BBLYZTi?ocid=spartanntp

Hmmm, Russia isn't famous for being a place where they obey copyright laws, on the other hand Banksy is not known for asking for permission before he starts to paint on a public surface. ^_ ^

A point he seems to admit himself, by the way:

QuoteThe exhibition is the first time Banksy’s work has been shown in Russia. VIP tickets allow viewers to skip the line and join guided tours of the work.

Urged to put out a press release disavowing the exhibition, the artist did see some irony in going public, saying: “Hmm – not sure I’m the best person to complain about people putting up pictures without getting permission.”

It sounds more like he's upset they are charging money for it, than that they didnt get his permission.

Go TST!!! *cheers them on* It has been such a joy seeing the lawmakers squirm trying to defend the 10 commandments statue they put up.

I can't help but really really really like this sentence:
“If you’re going to have one religious monument up then it should be open to others, and if you don’t agree with that then let’s just not have any at all"

Right. Just like this.

XKCD 1357.

And this:

“The problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion AND have others listen to it.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!”

Asia Argento is now accused of statutory and it doesnt look good.

Especially stingy as she was one of those who launched #metoo... :( (not implying that her crime, if she is convicted, would be nearly as grave as the sum of those of Weinstein)

What's especially icky is that she has known her victim since he was 7 years old. So it's quite likely she abused a pre-existing relationship to take advantage of someone young and vulnerable.

This, especially after she's been shouting so loud how horrible it was that she was taking advantage of by Weinstein while she did something similar.
Not that Weinstein should be forgiven or anything.
Just I can't help but feel like that's just so two faced of her. Especially since she hoped it would quietly go away by paying him 380.000 and that would settle it.
