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.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com #ArtificialIntelligence systems increasingly shape and permeate our mentality and social environments. Like every great historical transformation, this too calls not only for technical competence, but also for a humanistic formation capable of making visible the logic behind economics, embedded biases and forms of power that shape our perception of reality. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 91K Views
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 209K Views
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex X.com When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth. 1:31 PM • 4/17/26 • 696K Views

This short thread is worth reading:
Look! Up in the sky! It's... #SUPERMANDAY!
Here's a smattering of my own work for @dccomics on the Big Guy over the years. Been a minute since I was last in Metropolis-- hope to make it back sometime soon.
(Colors variously by @dave.mccaig and myself!) /1
I wonder how much of that is due to the fact that so many of the people involved in the production were used to turning out 24 episodes of television per season. Maybe they prepped and shot this thing at TV speed and that left a reasonable amount of time for post?
I love that posting an AI-generated meme of himself as Jesus has people suddenly waking up to the idea that Trump might not have Americans' best interests at heart. Because, you know, the video of him literally shitting on us wasn't enough.
Welcome home... Integrity?
The espionage thriller that inspired the hit movie Red, by @cullyhamner.bsky.social & Warren Ellis
When he retired, he wanted to put his bloody past behind him. When a new administration takes over the White House, the powers that be decide that Moses knows too much, forcing him back into the game.
When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.
I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.
Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.
As he notes in his own thread, it wasn't even HIS AG, as Clinton was out of office by then. It was Loretta Lynch, Obama's AG.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
Serious question: What currently serving Republicans have publicly criticized or disavowed the President's threat to "end an entire civilization" today? Not former, not party pundits, but current GOP office-holders.
Biden slurs and appears confused during a presidential debate, gets effectively hounded from office.
Trump threatens genocide against another nation, Congress and Beltway media not sure what to do about it.
Do I have that right?
Congress is on vacation
We are waaaayyyy beyond the looking glass now. This man is clearly and indisputably insane... and no one who CAN do something about it WILL do something about it.
Wait... THAT'S NO MOON.
And I think it says a lot about Trump that he didn't bother attending the first moonshot in over 50 years. It's happening on his watch and it's like he doesn't even notice.
The civilians we're bombing are begging us to keep bombing them.
Dear America:
The next time Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris tries to tell you something --
BELIEVE THEM.
AP headline: Trump issues fiery new threat against Iran as details of US aviator’s rescue emerge
Apparently, unhinged threats to commit war crimes are ”fiery” now.

The post is still there after 8 hours. This is what Trump wants to say, whether he used his own thumbs or not. /2
I truly don't understand some of the commentary bending over backwards over whether someone other than Trump wrote it. Whether it's Miller or Cheung or Trump himself who typed the words- it's from Trump's acct on Trump's own social media platform, with Trump's name signed at the end of the post. /1
After Trump's unhinged post saying "Open the Fuckin' Strait" and mocking Iran with "Praise be to Allah," I repeat what I've said for many months in my Stop the Presses newsletter:
The media betray their duty by not loudly declaring that the president of the United States is out of his mind.
I look back at All the President’s Men, released on this day 50 years ago.
During production, screenwriter William Goldman said, “Expectations are so high on this movie that if the film is only good, it won’t be good enough.”
If only he was here to see how powerful it still is:
More @ Esquire…
Watching TV commentators try to react to this in conventional terms is maddening. Just say it: This is a crazy person & someone should invoke the 25th right away. Compare this to the reaction after Biden slurred through a debate. Where is that pressure from these people? It drives me fucking crazy.
BREAKING: Donald Trump meets privately with Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth to assure them their jobs are secure, amidst swirling rumors that they may be the next cabinet members to be fired.
#KashPatel #PeteHegseth
“Hegseth has been a central player in Trump’s signal foreign policy failure, the war on Iran. He’s not been fired. He’s doing a lot of firing at Trump’s behest, continuing to remove senior military officers who are not sufficiently compliant with Trump’s wishes.”
