Rupert Murdoch Steps Down to Focus on Running Hell

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has decided to step down as chairman of both Fox Corp. and News Corp. While the official statement cites the transition to the role of Chairman Emeritus and the robust health of the companies as reasons, insiders have whispered about a more… infernal reason for his departure.

Beelzebub, the Prince of Demons, recently commented, “It’ll be good to have him here more. Things have been slacking a little in the underworld, and Rupert can bring a whole new level to hell!” The underworld has been buzzing with excitement at the prospect of Murdoch taking charge of its operations.

Murdoch’s decision comes after a tumultuous year for Fox, including a hefty $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over defamation claims. Some speculate that this was just a warm-up for the challenges he’ll face in his new role. After all, managing fiery pits and eternal damnation might be a tad more complicated than handling a media empire.

The 92-year-old Australian media tycoon began his journey in the industry nearly 70 years ago and has since built an empire that spans newspapers, television, and more. His influence has been so profound that it’s been chronicled in books and even inspired the HBO series “Succession.”

But why the sudden shift to the underworld? Some say Murdoch has been preparing for this role for years. His vast experience in managing large corporations, dealing with controversies, and navigating the complex world of media politics makes him a prime candidate for managing the intricacies of hell.

In a note to his employees, Murdoch mentioned, “For my entire professional life, I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change.” This statement has left many wondering if the underworld will soon have its own news channel, with daily updates on the latest in eternal torment and damnation.

As Murdoch transitions to his new role, the media world watches with bated breath. Will hell become the next media hotspot? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: with Murdoch at the helm, hell is about to get a lot more interesting.

Emergency alert system warns millions about missing stop loss

the Emergency Alert System (EAS)  will be used to serve the frantic world of day traders and retail investors. Gone are the days when the EAS was solely reserved for natural disasters or national emergencies. Today, it’s all about preventing financial disasters of a different kind.

As the stock market bell rang this morning, traders nationwide were jolted not by a sudden market dip, but by an unexpected EAS alert. The message was clear and, for some, a tad humiliating: “Not a test – you forgot to set a stop loss, dumbass.”

The decision to use the EAS in this manner was reportedly made after a series of unfortunate events where traders, engrossed in their multiple screens and caffeine-induced trading frenzies, forgot the cardinal rule of setting a stop loss. The aftermath? Let’s just say there were many a tear shed over spilled stocks.

Wall Street insiders have praised the initiative, claiming it’s about time the EAS was put to “proper use.” One seasoned trader commented, “I mean, sure, tornadoes and hurricanes are important. But have you ever seen a newbie day trader’s face when they realize they forgot a stop loss on a volatile stock? Now THAT’s a disaster.”

Critics argue that the system might be a tad overkill. However, proponents counter that in the age of meme stocks and unpredictable market swings, every tool should be utilized to protect the often fragile egos (and wallets) of day traders.

In related news, there are unconfirmed reports that the next EAS update might include alerts for “accidental margin calls” and “unintended short squeezes.” Day traders, keep your phones close and your stop losses closer!

Did JP Morgan Really Sink The Titanic To Kill His Pro-Fed Rivals?

No. But it’s a fun conspiracy theory, isn’t it?

It’s another popular Titanic myth that began in 2002, gained traction in 2017, and still does the rounds every now and then on Twitter, X and your mom’s AI-generated Facebook feed, despite being thoroughly debunked.

JP Morgan Titanic Meme
I tried and he punched me.

The true part is that famed industrialist John Pierpont Morgan Sr. owned the Titanic’s operator, the White Star Line. And it’s also true that Morgan attended the launch in 1911 and had a personal suite booked with a promenade deck and a bath equipped with cigar holders, BUT then he cancelled and never boarded the ship.

Yes, we don’t know the real reason for cancellation, potentially ill health or a last-minute shopping trip for French art (France was about to change its import laws), but what we do know is that it wasn’t because he knew the Titanic was going to sink.

What are you going to tell me next, that Seth MacFarlane orchestrated 9/11?

A Titanic Mistake

The made-up story is that Morgan had planned the Titanic to sink with RIGGED EXPLOSIVES so as to kill his millionaire business rivals John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus because they were opposed to Morgan’s idea of creating a US central bank.

The problem, though, is that Straus was in favor of creating the Fed, and Astor and Guggenheim never spoke publicly about it. Also, why book the suite if you know you’re not going and just implicate yourself? Not to mention the whole matter of orchestrating the Titanic to crash would be beyond even the people who faked the moon landing.

Oh, and another part of the conspiracy theory is that the submersible implosion in 2023 was also sabotage,d so they wouldn’t find out what really happened. Who was that then, JPMorgan Chase? No, babe, this ship just loves eating billionaires.

Historians know exactly when and how the Titanic sank, almost minute by minute. Explorers have been down to the wreck and didn’t find evidence of any bombs, but they did find a massive iceberg-shaped gash in the side. I wonder what that could be?

Here’s the thing, you never get conspiracy theories for mundane things, it’s always the big tragedies that for some reason warrant people to make up stories about them. Why? Because it puts you back in control, it gives these disasters a human motivation and makes the whole universe a little more understandable and safe.

Soz, babe, the universe is random and indifferent and not everything has a movie-plot explanation.
