How is this a headline and not the intro to a joke?

NY Times newsroom workers will stage a 24-hr walkout on Thursday, Dec 8th.

Please stand in solidarity by participating in a one-day "no NYT" digital walkout Dec 8th.

Including but not limited to:

-Website + any links from it
-All sections of the NYT
-Wordle, Crossword, Spelling Bee & any NYT online games
-Wirecutter, The Athletic

Just one day. Support NYT workers.
