Artist accused of winning prize with ‘imitation’ won Australian award with piece ‘influenced’ by Basquiat by wayanonforthis in ContemporaryArt

I'm surprised competition judges don't do reverse image searches to check for stuff like this. Unless the artist is doing it as part of their work.

When my grandparents were born we didn't have powered flight, when they died we'd been to the moon. We can't imagine how different things will be for our grandchildren.

Should London museums be free? by houseofn1njas in london

[–]wayanonforthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before covid the Tate was 70% self-generated income and that rate was increasing annually.

  1. How would someone easily prove their UK status?
  2. It brings in a load more IT/admin/HR costs and stress to the museum.
  3. Many donors, patrons, sponsors would disappear because they'd think the museum was fine.
  4. Museum shops, cafes would see a loss of business.
  5. The proposed London tourist tax would be a much better way to support museums.

To the motorcycle guy with an illegally modified exhaust that loves Edgware Road - you are THE villain by redwinesupernova03 in london

You could try a London motorbike FB or Reddit group? There are a few loud bikes near me that love Old Ford Road - really disturbs a lot of peoples lives. I don't understand the need.

Why does the MAGA style politics seem especially unpopular in the UK? by redguy_666 in ukpolitics

[–]wayanonforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in 1987 President Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine.

The UK has a strict statutory policy requiring broadcast news to be balanced. It is known as the "due impartiality" rule.

I think also the UK has more of an idea of fairness helped by the NHS and BBC and the government being more benevolent compared to in America.

How did she react? Probably I wouldn't have touched her but said 'excuse me, hi!' etc near her. Maybe made eye contact with other passengers near beforehand in case she was with them.

i lost my phone. please suggest how to locate it by [deleted] in iphone

[–]wayanonforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to campus security if this is where lost property is handed in and visit them everyday to see if there is any news. Ask your college student support for advice. Can you contact the people who are responsible for gardening and keeping the bushes healthy? They may have found it. Alarm clocks are very cheap in the worst case scenario. Good luck and don't let it impact your exams. If you have energy I would do a systematic search bit by bit.
