I don't care much about the MET Gala or the reality TV personalities who attend, but this article does a good job explaining why clothing in museums (even tourist attraction type ones like Ripley's) shouldn't be treated like Rent the Runaway.

Okay, I think I finally understand this hedge fund thing. Basically, it's like if I loan someone a Criterion Blu-ray, then they sell it to someone else for $25. That disc still needs to be returned to me. If that person is lucky, it's right before a flash sale...

And they can buy me a new disc for $20 and end up with a few dollars profit. But if it turns out that the disc they sold for $25 is out of print and only available from people asking $200, they're going to be out a lot of money.

There's much to complain about in the terrible new NYT op-ed about TCM, but my personal favorite is the bit about Zaslav texting about watching Miracle on 34th Street. Did the author accidentally out him watching AMC? Because we know TCM rarely airs it because of licensing.
