This comes in response to news that I’ve heard of recently. Goes to show if you value your posthumous requests, organize them wisely.
The concept we generally call “dying wishes” are a staple in how we think of society. Just look to the ancient play Antigone for that. However, things don’t always go as planned, especially in the wrong hands. What’s the biggest difference you’ve seen between someone’s “dying wishes” and what actually ended up happening?
Posting actual link to the story since OP used a nasty Twitter link of no value.
You didn’t even choose the free version?
That article is so capitalist and like ‘hur dur pull yourself up by your bootstraps, nobody should be forced to help the less fortunate’
And people wonder why I chose to emphasize the commentary and not the news itself. Though would it really be from an anti-less-fortunate perspective if the only benefactors when authorities object to a will are relatives?
Ew. Xitter link.
Who is Xitter Link?
No one (probably). You used a twitter link.
Those are morally forbidden in our world, and on several communities as well as written in the rules.
How so? This is the first I’m hearing of such a thing.
Long story short, owner is a Nazi, stop using the platform.
The whole salute thing has been debunked though.
Hi! The salute that Elon Musk did twice looks exactly the same as Hitler himself doing it. Elon Musk made Nazi jokes afterwards, and he also made an appearance at Germany’s far-right AfD party, a party that is no stranger to creating posters with Nazi imagery. I totally understand trying to give people the benefit of the doubt, but in this case it is very blatant that Elon Musk is not a good person and genuinely holds some troublesome beliefs, which is why many people, me included, have deleted their Twitter accounts.
First result, and there are several communities that took this decision a week or two ago.
If it wasn’t from the main handful of communities, I would’ve had no reason to know about this.
its impossible to read it without a twitter account

Ray Bradbury was a staunch anti-fascist. However, he had a beef with Pres. Obama because there were no major US space missions while Obama was in office.
After Bradbury died, Right Wing folks tried to paint him as a life-long GOP based on a few out of context quotes.
I think I may have heard about that. Being quick to assume things like that sadly seems to be the default mindset.
off topic?
I’m not saying it’s exactly embraced, but you’re not unique in that regard right now, in fact you’re the most on topic.
I thought it might be off topic because it didn’t specifically deal with a will or written legacy.
Thanks.
I don’t blame anyone for wanting to claim Bradbury.
But yeah, I found all his writings progressive for their publication date.
Anytime a conservative claims a progressive science fiction classic supports their politics, it suggests to me that that particular conservative doesn’t read much. Lol.
My mom was supposed to get my Grandpa’s house after he died. But my grandpa made the mistake of giving his new wife my mom‘s stepmom right to life in the house. She didn’t take care of the house, trying to kick somebody out who has right life is almost impossible. When my mom‘s stepmom finally died,the house was basically worthless. My mom basically got nothing out of the deal.
Never ever give somebody right to life to any house. It will kick you in the teeth.
Karl Marx…

What exactly happened with them? Don’t people often take pilgrimages to Marx’s grave?
