If it goes through, Mr. Zaslav, who was already known for being unusually well paid, stands to be rewarded with a contractual jackpot so big that the independent corporate governance expert Glass Lewis considers it worthy of “severe concern.” Institutional Shareholder Services similarly noted that it “represents one of the highest golden parachute estimates ever observed” and is “problematic.” Mr. Zaslav’s payout from the sale of the studio he ran for just four years will range from $551 million to $887 million, including accelerated stock triggers. That means most of his equity awards would vest and be paid as soon as a change in control occurs. This “is not a best practice,” noted Institutional Shareholder Services. This haul does not include the $114 million worth of Warner Bros. Discovery stock that Mr. Zaslav sold in March.

Oh wait ...

“My intention was never to sell the company. My intention was to build and run that company."

Who forced Zaslav to sell WBD then? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/o...

Gonna come down to how much you enjoy sunscreen ...

Bumper scenes of Doctor Doom watching Endgame.

It's been interesting to see where some of the "kids" wind up. Finn Wolfhard got into Ghostbusters. Sadie Sink has that mystery MCU role.

It's weird that Millie Bobby Brown is only allowed to make Netflix movies.

Any chance one of you in the midwest could source a 12-pack of Mountain Dew Code Red Zero Sugar for me?

I know it's out there somewhere ...

Will InfoWars be doing any cross promotions with Club Aqua?

I would not say “the cool thing is you dont need to be an expert” if my job was, essentially, to be an expert

"Don't bother worrying about anything the MCU did since 2019" is a wild way to promote Avengers: Doomsday, the movie allegedly capping everything the MCU did since 2019.

Sure, the "John Apple" bit is good, but it'd be funnier if he just called the new CEO "Tim Apple" too.

Like that's just what they're called.

I'd pay good money for What If? story where Ahsoka does accept Maul's offer on Mandalore.

Congrats to Elmer's Glue on your upcoming First Round rookie contract.

Hopefully John Ternus can make it so all the windows corners on my Mac line up again.

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

There's "do your homework" like "watch the new movies and shows that came after the Infinity Saga" ... and then there's "do your homework" as in "we gave up pretending there was a plan and now we just want to do Endgame again."

Cucumbers and zucchini are the same vegetable. You've all just bought into Big Vegetable's lie that they're different.

The kids aren't going to know the joy of quickly slapping someone's face into a photo with a simple mask.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

I bet a car could do this no problem, who cares. They’re the same to me

It is a major (and structural!) tension in Justified that both of its lead characters are, to one degree or another, idiot assholes played by incredibly cool and charismatic actors
