INFOWARS @infowars Lies! Lies! Lies! The Epic Lies And False Reality That The Onion Lives In!

"The Onion lives in a false reality"

With the leak to the NYT of their internal notes to each other, I hope the conservative justices on SCOTUS are currently *very* paranoid about talking to each other. Because at least one of them is (or has staff who is) indiscreet and disloyal.

Keep looking over your shoulders, fascists!

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.

Before WSJ published that article you may have read, I thought about how Trump really spends his days, bc it shows he's not really acting as President.

The answer?
Construction, cons, and corruption.

& watching snuff films that make him believe DOD can do anything.

Why I’m Sending Issues of ‘The Onion’ To Every Member Of Congress By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO

If you are reading this, you are likely either a member of Congress or one of the many underlings tasked with prodding lawmakers from a senile haze when they must cast a vote. You may be wondering why you have lucked out and received a free issue of our storied publication without so much as inserting a rider into a bill classifying The Onion as a tax-free religious organization. Simply put, the inaction of Congress has already made me happier than any legal loophole could.

Here is Why I’m Sending Issues of ‘The Onion’ To Every Member Of Congress.

It would be good if Kash Patel was made to pay his own legal fees in his suit against @theatlantic.com.

Thank you.

It is. Beautiful piece, David.

Several of the families have ongoing death threats and other security risks. They endured the worst and then more has been heaped upon them. It’s beyond repulsive, it’s an absolute tragedy on top of tragedy.

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Question: Is there anyone who's a Sandy Hook truther and not a Big Lie proponent or a Big Lie proponent who isn't a Sandy Hook truther. I ask because the two cults appear to be (from where I'm sitting) one. Thank you, @theonion.com, for your witness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC7c...

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

This is the point. Make universities uninhabitable for the people that make universities wonderful.

Texas Tech faculty are “close to the brink,” Schiller said. “It’s a nightmare … Tears are commonplace. I have a colleague who told me recently that going to campus felt like attending a wake.”

It turn out she has a name, which is weird.

Thank you, Connie Ballmer.
