OMG, that is awesome! They have a limited amount of time to capitalize on that before all the Infowars drones catch on.
Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’
Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And […]
There was nothing else in the news today but this. Every person on the planet knows at this point.
Not when they exclusively get their news from fox, tucker, and Alex Jones. Most probably have no clue. One downside to isolationist media.
Except the person who just asked what it was about, I imagine that’s why they asked .
Forget that, just lease the desk to a company that makes gay and trans porn and have people fuck on it.
that’s not what jones used it for?
No. Im suggesting penis on the desk, not an enormous cunt.
Gavin McGinnes?
I’m not sure if OP means this, but given that the acquisition headline has been posted 500 times today, I assume they meant “what’s the deal with the desk?”
“It’s the desk from InfoWars, which The Onion just bought.”
Better? Sorry I assumed y’all could put two and two together (it’s four, btw).
I guess “the desk” is something that people who watch infowars know about? “The desk from infowars” doesn’t give the rest of us any context.
AeonFelisThis whole conversation makes this post make a lot more sense.
Okay, I did a bit of googling and I think they refer to this desk:
Which… I guess… is iconic if you watch InfoWars?
If you knew what InfoWars was at all, it would be pretty obvious, you don’t need to have watched much (which I didn’t, just saw the meme clips). InfoWars was one dude sitting at a desk screaming about conspiracy theories and selling snake oil for hours and hours, that’s all it was. The desk was the only other thing on screen besides Alex Jones afaik. There was nothing special about it, but there was also no other part of the office “featured” on the show. Plus it says “InfoWars” in giant letters on it, so that should make for a fun prop for The Onion.
Everything I know about InfoWars I read. Every picture I’ve seen of Alex Jones is him outside or a closeup of his face.
But I did see the picture of the desk that somebody else posted and I understand now why having it would be a big deal.
Unfortunately, the judge paused the purchase and the site it back up slinging crap.
mathemachristian [he/him]the onion bought infowars, the brand, the domain, it’s intellectual property like the character “Alex Jones” all of it belongs to Infowars.
mayo_cider [he/him]Can’t wait for the reports from the special correspondent Alex Jones (the character)

Who owns The Onion? What to know after satire publication buys Alex Jones’ Infowars
The current owner and chairman of The Onion is Jeff Lawson, with Ben Collins listed as chief executive officer, according to the publication’s website.
However, The Onion’s parent company is Global Tetrahedron, where Bryce P. Tetraeder is CEO.
Collins should GTFO of Bluesky, because it is a Nazi bar, about as much as 𝕏itter is.
nope, their name is tim onion.
DasusThis is a pro-Russian account, never listen to anything he says.
Lime Buzz (fae/she)and go where exactly? It’s not as if fedi is any less fascist, racist etc. Quite the opposite in fact.
If you’re running into fascists and racists, then maybe you’re hanging out in the wrong parts of the fediverse.
What I’m saying is that it’s no less a white supremacist network than anywhere else and I’m on an instance that has a zero tolerance policy for it. Yet people still show who they are even on ‘good’ instances that they don’t (yet) block all too often, even and especially admins.
Ur literally on ml you can’t say shit
Dude he’s getting paid for engagement do not feed the trolls
Wat? It’s full of gay furries and IT professionals haha
But you repeat yourself
And Xitter is full of porn and neoliberal, Democratic party-aligned pundits, but doesn’t negate the fact that it’s a Nazi bar.
Not any more. Didn’t they ban porn? Haha
No. Is that a recent development? The Verge in June: X has new rules that officially allow porn now
Get out the UV light and make sure to wear gloves around it.
