The Sandy Hook families deserve so much more but this is a well deserved victory

Corrections An earlier version of this story said Bryce P. Tetraeder is the CEO of Global Tetrahedron. In fact, Ben Collins is the CEO, while Bryce P. Tetreader is the name of the fictional owner the company made up, and which it uses in various company communications. Apr 20, 2026 4:34 PM EDT

If you watch anything today, make it be this clip of @bencollins.bsky.social talking about what real strength is:

one of my favorite parts of the onion infowars saga is how Alex Jones lost his fucking mind when they first bought it,,,,, partly because he didn't know or understand what the onion was

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.

Ben Collins before and after taking over InfoWars

at least google glass looked kind of futuristic. these will get you shoved in a locker, and it doesn't matter how old you are.

guys... how many times are we going to try this

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.

A breaking update from @timheidecker.bsky.social.

Ben flipping off Trump tower during an anti-ICE protest :)

@bencollins.bsky.social, you're my hero. I couldn't be prouder of you.

@bencollins.bsky.social, you're my hero. I couldn't be prouder of you.

I truly cannot overstate how proud I am of Ben, not just as my partner but as my friend, as a human. He's the strongest and bravest person I know. Also the best cat dad.

And when one of the world's worst bullies threatened to ruin his life, he kept going. Because it's the right thing to do.

I'm just Tim Onion's girlfriend, but I can't count how many times over the last year and a half that Ben and his team were looking down the barrel of a terror campaign and possible repercussions by the state and just kept going forward.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a war on for your mind.

To be clear, the United States military is not just "war crime" evil, and "genocide support" evil - it is also lawless pirates.

Repeat after me:

I am not softer than Junji Ito.
I am not softer than Shinzo Abe.
I am not softer than Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
I am not softer than Kat Abughazaleh.

But if I stand back and watch and learn,
I will be softer than I am.

I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

opened up threads dot net to see what was going on over there and it turns out not much

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”
