So This Happened 20/02/24


The bell tolls for Bell:

The company announced Thursday in an open letter signed by chief executive Mirko Bibic that 4,800 jobs "at all levels of the company" would be cut.

 

Bell Media is ending multiple television newscasts and making other programming cuts after its parent company announced widespread layoffs and the sale of 45 of its 103 regional radio stations.

Bell is also ending evening programs The DebateThis Hour and Top 3 Tonight on CTV News Channel, which will be replaced by a four-hour news broadcast on weeknights beginning at 6 p.m.
You know when you hear of a famous person's death and you think to yourself that you thought that person had died years ago? That's how I felt when I heard those shows are getting cut. This Hour? The Debate? 

Somehow, as Canadians, we are going to have to get through this. But we will do it together. Somehow we will have to live knowing that shows we don't care about and thought no longer existed, performed by actors we have never heard of,  and brought to you be zillion dollar companies that are subsidized by our tax dollars, are getting the ax.

“This is a painful reality and not one that I take lightly,” Donahoe, who is also the chairman of PayPal, announced. “We are not currently performing at our best, and I ultimately hold myself and my leadership team accountable.” 
He sounds so genuine. He must truly love his employees. And although he holds himself personally accountable, it is not he that will be part of the Nike 'restructuring plan'.
“In December, the company announced a $2 billion cost-cutting and restructuring strategy, signaling that there may be layoffs,”
The worst part is, now The Mayor doesn't know where he is going to get his Dylan Mulvaney authorized bras and leggings from? You do know that Dylan was a spokescreature for Nike, don't you?

Drug-induced milk from transgender women who were born male is as good for babies as a mother's breast milk, an NHS Trust has said.

A leaked letter from the Medical Director of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust describes both as 'human milk' and says that they are the 'ideal food for infants'.

Sources say the extra dose of craziness from trans milk is what makes it extra wholesome.

Lord, please stop the world, I want to get off.

  1. The bolts! They forgot the bolts! Seriously, Mayor, I could mention 'dry wall flooring', 'baby in the oven', and, 'asbestos hepa filters', but I like to laugh about this sort of stuff while I slug Rye and smoke cigars. It is starting to get noticed; these mass firings are like a primitive surgeon using amputation to stop gangrene. I hear of execs getting a bag over the head, muggings in the cafeteria, and sex workers going through the cubicles. Based on internet searches, there is an unexploited demand for disgressionary lobotomy among some communities in the diversity. I am going to cold call all '647' numbers, and put up my own leaflets. Thank you, opportunity!

  2. Discretionary lobotomy I could probably handle, but disgressionary lobotomy, well, sounds like it might not reliably observe limits.

  3. Now that Wayne Gressky was a guy who could handle limits.
