Clocks Get Ready to “Fall Back”

At 2 a.m. Sunday, clocks will officially “fall back” one hour, granting Americans an extra 60 minutes to either sleep, overthink their life choices, or curse at appliances that refuse to reset without a PhD in button pressing.



Daylight Saving Time — the grand tradition allegedly invented to help farmers but now mostly serving to disorient the rest of us — remains in effect despite decades of collective eye-rolling and a near-total absence of farmers in most people’s social circles (unless you count FarmVille).



Experts warn of temporary confusion, sluggish mornings, and another surge in the nation’s favorite seasonal query: “Wait… is it 1 a.m. again?” Some celebrate the bonus hour like it’s a sleep voucher from Uncle Sam, while others dread the premature darkness that turns 5 p.m. into a scene from The Walking Dead.

Retailers, never ones to miss an opportunity, are expected to roll out “Fall Back” sales — which, sources confirm, are identical to normal sales but with noticeably gloomier lighting.



Meanwhile, Congress continues its decades-long debate over whether to abolish Daylight Saving Time, make it permanent, or just replace the whole system with one big national hourglass. Until then, Americans are urged to turn back their clocks, recalibrate their sanity, and remember: time may be a social construct, but showing up late for brunch is still a crime.

Paramount Skydance Launches Major Layoffs Following Merger Overhaul



Paramount Skydance is said to be initiating a sweeping round of layoffs this Wednesday, October 29, affecting roughly 1,000 U.S. employees in what marks the first major workforce reduction since the company’s $8.4 billion merger earlier this year between Paramount Global and Skydance Media.



The job cuts, impacting multiple departments, are part of a larger restructuring plan expected to trim around 2,000 positions companywide. Additional layoffs are anticipated in the weeks ahead, with international divisions also preparing for staff reductions, though specifics remain unclear.



Led by CEO David Ellison and President Jeff Shell, the newly combined studio aims to achieve $2 billion in cost savings through organizational consolidation, overlapping department mergers, and tighter operational efficiency.



The move reflects broader turbulence across the entertainment industry, as major media firms confront declining traditional TV revenues, shifting viewer behavior, and soaring streaming costs. Paramount Skydance’s restructuring underscores Hollywood’s ongoing trend toward consolidation and aggressive cost management.

Employees affected by the layoffs are expected to receive severance packages, though terms have not been disclosed.



As Paramount Skydance works to define its post-merger identity, analysts and industry insiders are watching closely to see whether this painful reset will position the studio for long-term stability and renewed creative growth.

In a related development, Yellowstone and Landman creator Taylor Sheridan is set to move his overall production deal to NBC Universal in 2029. NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock is the streaming home for Yellowstone

Millbrae Police Chief Under Fire for Alleged Unauthorized Living Quarters at Station

MILLBRAE, Calif. — The city’s police chief is facing mounting scrutiny following claims that he has been commuting roughly 650 miles from Boise, Idaho — and allegedly living inside the police station during the workweek.

Chief Eamonn Allen, who oversees law enforcement in the San Mateo County city just south of San Francisco, is accused of turning parts of the police facility into makeshift living spaces without required permits. Photos reportedly taken by a fire inspector show two bedrooms equipped with mattresses and furniture. One image even shows a half-empty bottle of liquor on a shelf.

According to KGO-TV, property records and a formal complaint indicate that Allen returns to Idaho when off duty, raising questions about his availability to respond to emergencies and the legality of his on-site accommodations. One of the rooms was reportedly locked with an “In Use” sign, preventing full inspection.

The controversy has also drawn attention to broader staffing practices within the county. Reports reveal that six San Mateo County Sheriff’s sergeants currently live out of state — including in Idaho, Nevada, Texas, and Tennessee. Two of them serve on the bomb squad, a specialized unit expected to respond to threats within an hour.

🚗 PrimaLend Capital Crumbles Amid Subprime Auto Loan Crisis

October 22, 2025 — In a stark warning for America’s auto finance industry, PrimaLend Capital Partners has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, underscoring growing turmoil in the subprime lending market. The Plano, Texas–based company — a major player in the “buy-here, pay-here” dealership network — reported liabilities between $100 million and $500 million, leaving thousands of borrowers and investors in limbo.

The collapse comes as defaults on high-risk auto loans surge amid rising interest rates and stagnant wages. PrimaLend’s bankruptcy follows the recent downfall of Tricolor Holdings, signaling that cracks are widening across an industry once fueled by easy credit and aggressive growth.

Experts warn that the fallout could extend beyond lenders, affecting used car supply chains, small dealerships, and even local tax revenues tied to vehicle sales and registrations. As creditors rush to gauge their exposure, analysts are calling PrimaLend’s failure a possible “tipping point” in America’s mounting car-debt crisis.

With repossessions climbing and consumer credit tightening, the road ahead for subprime lenders looks increasingly treacherous — and the question remains whether regulators or markets can steer the industry out of a looming crash.

Remembering Jessica Savitch (1947–1983): 42 Years Later

Forty-two years ago today, on October 23, 1983, the world of broadcast journalism lost one of its brightest and most pioneering figures — Jessica Savitch. Known for her intelligence, poise, and commanding on-air presence, Savitch broke barriers in an era when few women held major network anchor chairs.

Born in Wilmington, Delaware, and raised in Margate, New Jersey, Savitch’s passion for storytelling led her from college radio at Ithaca College to national prominence at NBC News. By the late 1970s, she had become one of the network’s most recognizable faces, anchoring NBC News Updates and serving as a weekend anchor for the NBC Nightly News. Her style — confident, articulate, and human — earned her both acclaim and immense pressure as she navigated the demands of a still-male-dominated industry.

Tragically, Savitch’s life was cut short at the age of 36 in a car accident near New Hope, Pennsylvania. Her death shocked viewers and colleagues alike, coming at the height of her career and just months after she began hosting PBS’s Frontline.

Though her career lasted barely a decade, Jessica Savitch’s influence endures. She helped open the door for generations of women in television news, proving that a woman’s voice could carry authority, warmth, and credibility on a national stage.

As we remember her today, we honor not only the journalist she was but also the trail she blazed — one that continues to inspire broadcasters and viewers more than four decades later.

In memoriam: Jessica Savitch — February 1, 1947 – October 23, 1983.
