Well, that sure escalated quickly.
Carlson had been with the network since 2009, first as a commentator and then, starting in 2016, Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Having worked in the banking sector and having seen up-close how tightly regulated the industry is, I’m somewhat surprised that this sort of thing can happen at a retail bank.
On Friday, Roku, the TV streaming company, said in a filing that roughly $487 million of its $1.9 billion in cash was tied up with Silicon Valley Bank.
Where were the regulators in all of this?
It was truly not pretty.
At $200 a head, I would have expected better service.
The food truly was immaculate. And the wine pairing was amazing.
But I found the help to be a bit far too familiar.
If I were Michelin in Los Angeles, I’d think twice about renewing their one macaroon rating.
The food was divine. But I found their waitstaff unamusing in their efforts to solicit a larger gratuity.
So, three stars pour le cuisine; but no Michelin biscuits, I’d say.
Better luck next time.
After all, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner.
Tisk, tisk. You have hurt my feelings and I am inconsolable.
“Google tells employees to share desks as it looks to cut costs” – TechSpot
TechSpot reports it has seen an internal memo announcing a company-wide cost-saving measure in the form of sharing desk space areas. My first reaction was “WTF”, so I was pleased to see that the article began with this very exclamation as its lede.
“The desk-sharing initiative suggests Google isn’t finished with its money-saving measures just yet,” states the article.
On deeper consideration, I don’t think it’s quite as big of a deal as I had originally. Aware of its generous remote-work policies, it makes a lot more sense to me. And it has to be bad for morale for those who are actually in the office. Seeing dust gather on empty desks and cobwebs grow in unoccupied offices is kind of a bummer. Especially if that employee has staked out valuable real estate.
Of course, it’s also a cost-saving measure. I’m sure there was already a certain degree of “cube swapping” going on. Maybe it got out of control? Who knows?
The bigger takeaway for me is this: why isn’t there any spin control on this yet?
