    It’s weird that my two most trusted institutions are a satirical newspaper and a rude card game, right?

      Didn’t the rude card game have an employee institutionalised for not laughing at their n-word jokes?

      Lost a bit of respect in my book there.

    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 😂

    It’s going to be hard to satirize Infowars. This is a real shirt Alex Jones is selling now:

      So they’re wearing shirts with which they self identify as low iq now? Are they getting self aware? Before ai? That’s a surprise…

      Or is it a black shirt with low iq, basically fully bringing out in the open the thinly veiled dog whistle of trump using the term whenever he’s talking about women of color?

      Yeah more that, i think

    Last I heard they were still in the process. Has it been finalized yet?

    Edit- Awaiting the OK from Texas judges.

    It would cost the Onion $81k a month for the domain. The best part is that Jones is going through bankruptcy, having to sell off almost all of his belongings to compensate the families he harassed and slandered (libelled?)

            I was under the assumption infowars was also a website with blogs or dumb articles on it. I have no idea, though because I had no reason to visit his website.

      Apparently finalized a few days ago. But the news was published in The Onion, so you can be forgiven for thinking it might be satire.

        Yeah, they’re posting it all over the place. I’ve seen other platforms also posting it everywhere.

          the fact that onion is posting something all over the place does not mean anything, they seem to be taking it as seriously as all their other news

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

          they are waiting for a judge, they have a wish, but they own/rent/control anything at this time.

          “other platforms” reposting that does not mean anything. same as it did not mean anything when they posted the same false information 18 months ago:

          if anything, it is nice example of why we need professional media collecting and verifying news before releasing them and why random people shouting on social networks are not news

      It would cost the Onion $81k a month for the domain

      all things considered, that could be renegotiated with the registrar now that Jones is no longer the owner. It’s no longer worth that as it’s not raking in Jones-level revenue. Sure, it’s still worth a lot, especially with The Onion owning it, but, still, not $81k/mo.

        That $81K/mo isn’t going to the registrar. Its going to the manager of Jone’s debt to be distributed to his creditors, including the families of Sandy Hook.

          oh, my mistake

          The deal calls for The Onion to pay $81,000 a month to license the Infowars.com domain and brand name, which the receiver says will “cover carrying costs to preserve and protect the assets of the receivership estate” until an appeal filed by Jones is decided and the path is cleared for a sale.

          I see, so it’s temporary, although that appeal could take years

            it is not temporary and it is not permanent. there isn’t ANYTHING yet. they have a wish they brought to a judge and now they wait for what the judge will decide. if the judge decides to their liking, then it will be temporary…

    i really want the tote but at the same time i’m pretty sure most people won’t get it. they’d just see the logo, google it, and think i’m an idiot. if they’d made a pride-patterned bag with the plain logo on it i’d be more interested.
