We need to stop them immediately

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

Youtube can't get or create another MrBeast because he as a person seems to be a glitch in every possible sense of the word.

It seems like Beast's team is going for metrics that somehow they come out being the exception to the rule to, if that makes sense. Anyone else managing to get these numbers would have it do something wildly different for/around them, but this guy is like a black hole somehow.

I've been thinking since I watched it, about the section regarding Beast's specific view/subscriber numbers and how that does not equate even remotely to the "real world" engagement and social impact of other youtubers with so much less in those metrics, but also how it... never has, for him?

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Calm down, computer software isn't making decisions about who lives and who dies in war. It merely processes a ton of data and then makes a recommendation to a human who has no realistic way to verify it

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

Caved and bought Tomodachi Life

Look it’s simple we want less stress and we want to be able to buy pet food and paper towels and body wash on the same day again without it being a major financial event and we want Wishbone back and those are the things we want

I hate to hand it to him, but the Pope makes some really good points.

This video essay is fantastic. I wanted to make a joke about it being his best since the one about trains but it’s so good that I don’t want to risk such a post being interpreted as sarcasm. Just watch it.

Me: I mean if you think about it, a lot of our old space tech was built so long ago that cybersecurity couldn't have been nearly as much of a concern as it would be now.

Ally: ???

Me: If you just get in there I bet you could do all kinds of stuff. I bet I could phish the first Mars Rover.

the dream that inspired #WicksEnd came to me 3 years ago today! 🕯⚔

here's to many more years of tormenting Glen to come 🖤

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.
