(via Music Licensing Powerhouse BMI Is Being Sold to a Private Equity Firm | Pitchfork)
BMI, the music licensing agency that represents thousands of songwriters, has announced that it will sell to the private equity firm New Mountain Capital, The New York Times reports. Terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed; in August, Billboard cited sources claiming the deal could be worth $1.7 billion. The sale needs to be approved by shareholders and undergo “customary regulatory approvals.” The two sides expect the deal to close by the end of 2024’s first quarter.
After announcing that it would change over to a for-profit model before considering a sale of the company, BMI faced scrutiny over the change from songwriter groups. BMI and ASCAP are the two major licensing agencies which distribute royalties to songwriters and publishers from songs being played via the radio, online streaming, and in retail settings.

I've seen different interpretations via fan art as to what happens to a fallen angel's halo. All gorgeous and honestly, the talent in the Good Omens fandom??? *chef's kiss!*
But anyway, as an alternative and seeing as how Aziraphale used his Halo as a weapon 'The thing with the halo'....what if rather than transform into something demonic...like they get their horns from Satan but that's after God takes back the halo?
My point is...
As Supreme Archangel with more rank and power now....whose to say if Aziraphale, missing Crowley and unsure of how to process all those post-season two emotions, and in need of a "new" halo....takes the one that used to belong to Crowley???
And who's to say the symbolic...symbolism of literally holding on to a thing that used to define someone you loved when you initially met?Who's to say that the comfort of Crowley's halo only last so long since it's been SO long since it was last Crowley's and just doesn't do enough for Aziraphale anymore and his desire for the real Crowley gets stronger?
Who's to say Aziraphale doesn't 'do the thing with the halo' again and start of the Heavenly revolution by setting off Crowley's old halo as an act of war? (me, cos it's narratively repetitive and unlikely to happen but I like thinkin' about it)

do you think stewy is old money rich?
yes i doooooo i think stewy’s family (and im sure this is the assumption we’re supposed to make) comes from a long line of very wealthy generational wealth. still not at the level of the roys considering the roys are supposed to be one of the richest families in the world, but very wealthy. im sure they lost a chunk of it in the revolution and after they immigrated, but again, remained very wealthy. i do however think that stewy now is the richest he’s ever been

Just as a heads up for those who may have followed me for specific content - after everything that went down over the last few weeks, I’ve determined that I won’t be posting any more mcyt related content here.
I’ll be keeping the gifs that I’ve posted up, because I’m not a fan of deleting things I’ve made and at one time really enjoyed… but I won’t be posting anything else about the fandom or the content creators in it. All my fics on ao3 have been made anonymous as well, but I’ve made sure to keep them up and available if you know where to look.
I’ve updated my pinned post as well that has more info about what I’ll be posting about moving forward.
It goes without saying that it’s incredibly important to continually support and uplift victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Even though the discourse changes from day to day, it’s important not to forget that in the end, real people are involved with real feelings.
It’s been… an interesting ride, and while 2021 me is devastated to see things fall apart the way they have, 2024 me is ready to move on. It’s been fun. o7
