(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 don't know if this has been asked and answered but with your love of Top Gun and airplanes, would you ever consider getting your pilot's license?

it is my retirement plan 🤞🏽 god willing i make enough money to learn how to fly someday

im currently a broke student with no access to any accessible airstrip within like 20 miles (i live in nyc & don’t have a car) and also every time i mention getting my pilot’s license to my mom she has a conniption about safety “what happens if my baby falls out of the sky” etc. so i have to wait for her to die first

but yes I would love love love to have that opportunity at some point. If only to make my writing about flight more accurate (obviously if you know anything about flying my fics are the most inaccurate things in the whole world & i apologize for that). Im a big proponent of “doing stuff just to know how to write about it” which is the only reason, for instance, I have ever smoked a cigarette (not that my writing about that is particularly accurate either but)

togiri is so funny to me because they probably wouldn't be caught dead doing something as vulnerable and sappy as holding hands in public but in private they're into gunplay or something

I think it's funny that today I've ended up posting about hyper-competent aroace Rosalind Ursula and utter loser aroace Rudyard Funn. The two ends of the Aroace Podcast Character spectrum...?

Spending an evening thinking about how modern au cultivation world would work. I would never actually write anything, I just love to give things in my head more lore.

watched a flight demonstration and got so viscerally jealous that I almost threw up. world’s most unsuited guy to be obsessed with the nova squadron plotline.
