While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies.

Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Onion, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen.

(EDIT: Fixed a sentence incorrectly suggesting that Clickhole is still affiliated with the Onion – it totally slipped my mind that they'd sold it back in 2020.)

Please note. The orange one is not included because A. He isn’t a billionaire. And B. Calling him obnoxious is too kind for him.

I don't know where it came from, but several years ago this idea popped into my head unbidden, and for some reason it tickles me. I don't know if it's funny, but I like it and I made it into a zine, I hope you enjoy it.

It lays out really nicely as 3-up spreads on A4 paper, so you can print, staple and fold it, then cut it into 3 zines. It made it really easy to print up 20 of them to trade at this art social thing I went to

This is magnificent and I love it.

I FOUND A NEW WORST RETAIL SONG

I cannot find it because it's so incredibly generic but I feel like I'm in a dystopian psychological horror every time it comes on, God help me if I can find it I will post a link

it's genuinely the absolute worst, like the perfect uncanny-valley blend of passionless, inflectionless, saccharine, meaningless positivity. It's like if you hot your leg stuck in a woodchipper and while you were screaming on the ground clutching at your grisly wound a person watching tiktoks on their phone nearby was like "damn girl don't die your so sexy haha" and kept on scrolling. Easily one of the top ten worst ever sounds, feels like a CIA experiment, it's perfect

It goes like

Oo-oo oo-oo, gotta get up in time Oo-oo oo-oo, come on, get up in time And get ready to go Today im having nothing but a good time Today it's fine, it's nothing but a good time Nothing but a good time Nothing but a good time

And it just keeps repeating like that forever

It sounds like a song written and produced by an Orwellian dictatorship as part of a psyop to suppress civil unrest with a budget of only three dollars

YOU FUCKING FOUND IT

THE SONG THAT MAKES ME WANNA KILL THINGS

Austrian Airlines departs twitter in a pretty good post.

X-it is happening💪

wishing spiders a successful strike, may they get everything they want

I mean like the game devs from the company Spiders who are on strike right now. Not the. Not the leggy fellers. I don't think they're on strike

Important not to confuse game developers with web developers.

In a monumental discovery for paleontology and the first of its kind "Mummy of a juvenile sabre-toothed cat Homotherium latidens from the Upper Pleistocene of Siberia"

Abstract The frozen mummy of the large felid cub was found in the Upper Pleistocene permafrost on the Badyarikha River (Indigirka River basin) in the northeast of Yakutia, Russia. The study of the specimen appearance showed its significant differences from a modern lion cub of similar age (three weeks) in the unusual shape of the muzzle with a large mouth opening and small ears, the very massive neck region, the elongated forelimbs, and the dark coat color. Tomographic analysis of the mummy skull revealed the features characteristic of Machairodontinae and of the genus Homotherium. For the first time in the history of paleontology, the appearance of an extinct mammal that has no analogues in the modern fauna has been studied.
