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.)

Today, the gang takes care of some last minute party prep. Sam puts out all the food that Dean had prepared, Jack cleans up the morning's breakfast, Cas rearranges some furniture to be more party friendly, and Dean finishes up some last minute decorations, putting up the mistletoe he'd saved in the doorway connecting the kitchen to the hall. At around 3:00 PM, people begin to filter in. First to arrive is Charlie, who was in town for a convention. Although they had adamantly told all of their guests that there would be plenty of food, Charlie brings some gingerbread anyways. As guests trickle in, Dean is silently counting heads, hoping the food he'd prepared is enough for everyone. Donna and Jody enter and immediately move to catch up with Sam and Dean. Claire, Alex, Kaia, and Patience all beeline for Jack, with whom they begin to gossip, comparing the drama they had picked up from their respective housemates. Rowena comes fashionably late, as always, with plenty of solstice decor to lend to the bunker for protection. After mingling, greeting close friends and lesser known friends of friends, a slightly overwhelmed Dean steps into the kitchen, taking some space to himself under the guise of washing dishes.

After a few minutes of scrubbing the same stubborn pan, he jumps at the unexpected presence of Cas, who has appeared at his side, silently drying and putting away dishes. After Dean has regained his social battery, he takes a deep breath and starts back out to the party, Cas following him. Dean grabs Cas's arm, realizing what doorway they've found themselves in. He looks up at the mistletoe, then back at Cas. Clearing his throat, Dean slides his hand from its position gripped on the angel's bicep down to his hand. He raises Cas's hand in his own, pressing his lips against it lightly. After a beat, he moves back a bit, mumbling something about superstition and tradition, only to be cut off by a kiss on the cheek from Cas, who softly asks Dean if he has participated in the tradition correctly. Dean stammers out an affirmative as they return to the party, where Dean recives a curious glance from Charlie from across the room.

If you're wondering what people who are still true Trump believers are thinking right now: Alex Jones is talking on his show about how once Trump gets "full control" he will "stabilize the planet" and roll out a system of free energy and futuristic technologies (including life extension) for all, and he's already started working on that by overthrowing the Saudi government by going over there and killing the royal family himself, something that totally happened but the mainstream media isn't reporting on it.

Satirical news publication The Onion has bought Infowars, the media organisation headed by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, for an undisclosed price at a court-ordered auction.

The Onion said that the bid was secured with the backing of families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, who won a $1.5bn (£1.18bn) defamation lawsuit against Jones for spreading false rumours about the massacre.

[…] The Onion plans to rebuild the website and feature well-known internet humour writers and content creators.

“We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website,” said Ben Collins, a former NBC News journalist who is chief executive of The Onion’s parent company, in a statement.

The website also posted a jokey article, saying that Infowars “has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society".

[…] No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars.

Make no mistake: This is a coup for our company and a well-deserved victory for multinational elites the world over.

What’s next for InfoWars remains a live issue. The excess funds initially allocated for the purchase will be reinvested into our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders, a charity that donates elections to at-risk third world dictators, and a new pro bono program pairing orphans with stable factory jobs at no cost to the factories.

As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEO’s life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the InfoWars warehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy bar–sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.

LMAOOO I JUST WATCHED ALEX JONES GO OFFLINE IN REALTIME

[knottahooker]

The satirical news publication The Onion won the bidding for Alex Jones’ Infowars at a bankruptcy auction, backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the massacre a hoax. “The dissolution of Alex Jones’ assets and the death of Infowars is the justice we have long awaited and fought for,” Robbie Parker, whose daughter Emilie was killed in the 2012 shooting in Connecticut, said in a statement provided by his lawyers. The Onion acquired the conspiracy theory platform’s website; social media accounts; studio in Austin, Texas; trademarks; and video archive. The sale price was not immediately disclosed. The Onion said its “exclusive launch advertiser” will be the gun violence prevention organization Everytown for Gun Safety. “Everytown will continue to raise awareness on InfoWars’ channels about gun violence prevention and present actual solutions to our nation’s gun violence crisis, including bipartisan, common-sense measures and public safety initiatives backed by Everytown,” The Onion said in a statement Thursday. Jones confirmed The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars in a social media video Thursday and said he planned to file legal challenges to stop it.

There's more information in the article, but just posting this to say AHAHAHA GET FUCKED ALEX
