Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has apparently been trying to work with the (son of the Lehman Brothers CEO) donor of the Benin Bronzes collection to transfer ownership back to Nigeria, but instead he's taking all the statues back and they're closing the gallery entirely.
In an extraordinary move, MFA to return prized African art to wealthy donor and close gallery - The Boston Globe
The museum had sought to transfer ownership of 30 historic bronzes, originally plundered in a bloody colonial raid, to Kingdom of Benin. The donor asked they be returned to him instead
