    there is a lot of stuff funnier than things that did not happen.

    onion may be making a merchandise, but they did not take over anything, so far… they have a plan to rent the domain for 6 months, it now depends on a texas judge… so far the infowars is still full of alex jones’ shit, as everyone can verify by typing that address into browser.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/business/infowars-alex-jones-the-onion.html

    it is fascinating how people are willing to shout nonsense that is not true, as long as they like the nonsense… cool (mis)info war 😂

      Yeah, I’ve now unintentionally fed a couple of page views to that terrible website because I keep seeing news that they “took over” only to get jump scared by Alex Jones when I go to verify it.
