This current trend for companies to only make shareholder profits by endless mergers and cost stripping is a stark, stark red warning klaxon that their underlying business models are shot. Shareholder return merger cuts show an org is prioritising dividends over output quality.
Paramount “said in a letter to shareholders it plans an additional 1,600 job cuts as part of a goal to achieve at least $3 billion in cost savings.”

Old colour footage of the Dinos is quite rare, and also an important asset.

This film was made during one of the “Iguanodons look they have goggly eyes due to excessive white paint” periods..

Or, as we in Norfolk like to call it; Tuesday.
Wonderful BBC archive clip about black magic in Norfolk in 1964 - soot-blackened sheep’s hearts, weird effigies, and isolated fenland villages.

Also sad to hear that Bradford On Avon Green Man festival is likely to be no more

It was a really fun event, with a dancing hedge and occasional dead horse or obby oss.

Its sad when Folklore events disappear :( (If I lived closer I would have happily volunteered)

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

This year, I challenged myself to create a "Starry Night" inspired Mari Lwyd for the @skullsandsheets.bsky.social charity auction event! This was a lot of fun ❤️

Coloured pencils, gouache and micron fineliner.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.

And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

I loved finding out that William of Malmesbury found the epidemic of walking dead was rather tedious.
Nice to know that Malmesbury serms to have another interesting previous resident - a revenant - to add to the flying monk, witch trials and a tiger attack.
