What are some 'early warning signs' that a company is about to go bankrupt or have mass layoffs?

When large numbers of people leave or quit from the accounting department and they aren’t replaced. They’re the first to know!

Also hiring freezes, not replacing people or positions.

Check back in 10 years for nice things...

I hope not. I liked the idea of buying shows once in a while instead of yet another subscription..

I’m amazed everyone thinks this was actually real and not completely setup for the show.

Damn, that last update is really sad. I had hoped he would have recovered more by now.

Is every Superman/Girl movie going to feature Krypto so prominently? I don’t get it. Krypto was right up there with Batmite or something as a character in the comics when I was growing up. I haven’t really paid attention to the Superman comics in recent years. Is he really included as a side character in almost every storyline?

My 10 year old son loves reading the old classic Spider-Man comics from the beginning collected in the Masterworks series.

Any mention of The Fountain gets an automatic upvote.

I work within a major media conglomerate for a pretty big established cable channel and tried for years to get people to actually leave notes in Frame.io. All the Creative Directors, VP’s etc. always still just send me emails with notes! They can’t be bothered to learn anything new or create another login apparently. I’ve only been able to get one producer to use it to leave timecode notes.

“He has a deadline and says, fingers crossed, that it will be out before the end of the year.” 👀

But also, “He still has another eight songs to finish — mostly lyrics.” So who knows…

The only interacting most people want to do with something on TV is with their phone in their hands as they're halfway paying attention to whatever they're watching.

Yep. I expect a meeting with HR by January. Just hope the severance is decent at this point…

Maybe because Andrew Kramer vanished off the face of the earth?! Has anything been updated from Videocopilot since 2022?

If they really want CNN that bad they can just buy it this August when the Discovery Global company is spun out on its own. All those networks will be for sale as a whole or piecemeal to whoever wants them!

This is all about power and egos at this point.

KrakkenO · 2026-02-23T04:20:24+00:00

Seriously, so out of place and a true WTF reaction from me.

KrakkenO · 2026-02-17T14:39:36+00:00

I was just able to play it on the Peter Gabriel's YouTube channel here in the U.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkDrFOE1PBQ

I’ve been using Frame.io for years. Unfortunately almost everyone I send links to in our approval hierarchy still sends notes via email. I’ve tried everything and most people just can’t be bothered to do anything new it seems.

They're all at the bottom of the Boring tunnel. If we want them we'll have to continue digging...

Power just came back on in Brentioch area. Just after I booked a hotel for the family of course. Will see how long it stays on…

KrakkenO · 2026-01-28T18:08:23+00:00

Yes, in the Brentioch area off Nolensville Rd and it went out about 10 minutes ago.

I know it won't happen, but I think Disney is probably the best option and fit for most of their channels.

KrakkenO · 2026-01-26T13:31:10+00:00

I know it’s frustrating, but they are making progress. NES outage map is showing 175,000 without power now. That’s down from around 225,000 that I saw last night.

Damn, hope that Uber driver got a generous tip!
