Vice Media is killing a lot of jobs and its primary web site. You can read about some of the business shenanigans behind all that here. It’s bankrupt and shifting to publishing purely via other sites.
While it has been a controversial outlet, with an abhorrent founder, I’ll be sad to see it go. While it definitely wasn’t above kinky clickbait, it had some of the better kink coverage in mainstream media. Looking back I linked to its articles fairly often. For example, on kinky therapists, on gooning, on fin-domme, on pro-domme sessions, etc.
It’s funny how the internet is simultaneously so permanent and also impermanent. It’s true that it’s almost impossible to erase a salacious photograph, an unwise tweet or an incriminating screenshot. Yet at the same time, whole sites can be wiped out in seconds. Hundreds of years of work involving thousands of people gone. Just traces left in archive sites and inaccessible local copies.
Last night I was watching a documentary on the origin of the British Exchequer and it mentioned their earliest records – in the form of pipe rolls – date back to 1130. They form a series from then until 1833, just over 700 years. What are the odds that any of our current electronic records will still be as accessible in 2724?
I’ve no idea what femdom image best suits the failure of a major media company, so let’s run with that medieval theme instead. This is the unmistakably work of Augustine.
Pipe rolls hmmm. Love documentaries. Never expected to find such lovely suggestions on a site like Femdom Resource. Many thanks.
Let me return the [vanilla] favour. The Space Shuttle That Fell to Earth. A BBC production that’s probably available on PBS in the USA.
Thanks for the tip. I think I saw a review of that which said how good it was. I’ll try and find it here. Huge documentary fan.
The pipe roll thing was a lecture series from the Great Courses. This one I think – https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/story-of-medieval-england-from-king-arthur-to-the-tudor-conquest
They’re insanely expensive to buy from the original site – but I can stream them via Amazon Prime. Pretty dry as they’re just lectures, but very good if you like lectures and can find them cheap on streaming.
