This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It’d be a shame if someone provided context to this so it made sense.
David Zaslav is head of Warner Bros. Discovery. He took over recently after the merger and proceeded to make a bunch of unpopular decisions regarding everything and made life worse for all employees and fans. He cancelled a million projects mid-stream including a fully finished batwoman movie to get a tax write off. He also gutted Discovery when he became CEO awhile back, taking it from education based to reality tv garbage because that makes more money apparently. He’s basically a real life Jack Donahue from 30 Rock.
It seems GQ wrote an article about how nobody in the industry likes him and then it got pulled.
Now you’re up to speed.
*Donaghy, and at least Jack had Liz to act as a moral compass/course correction. David is just another asshat CEO with no moral or ethical scruples.
It's pronounced "Don-a-fee," you lace-curtain half-an-Englishman
Oh absolutely, Jack without any redeeming qualities.
He clearly doesn't have a Lemon.
