    No funion: ONION takeover .. Alex Jones says “let it sink in”

    The Onion, which planned to relaunch the conspiracy-minded Infowars as a parody website, was named the winner of the bankruptcy auction held in Houston on Thursday. J

    Jones was forced to put Infowars and other assets up for sale after a judge ruled in June that he had to pay roughly $1.5 billion for Sandy Hook families..

    A group of Sandy Hook families who filed the defamation lawsuit against Jones agreed to accept a smaller payout to increase the overall value of the Onion’s bid, according to the families’ lawyers.

    But Judge Christopher Lopez said Thursday that he had concerns about how the bidding process played out and ordered a hearing for next week to review how the auction was conducted.

    More from the Washington POST:

    At the court hearing Thursday, the trustee overseeing the bankruptcy auction said the Onion did not have the highest bid, but that the Sandy Hook families’ agreement to forgo some of their defamation award to pay off Jones’s other creditors made the Onion’s bid the best overall deal, according to the Associated Press. The trustee, Christopher Murray, did not share the dollar amount of the Onion’s bid, but said he followed the rules laid out by the judge that allowed him to skip a round of bidding that would have let interested parties try to outbid each other.

    As of this moment, INFOWARS.COM has returned and it is NOT under ONION control..

  • TYSON- PAUL FIGHT FRAUGHT WITH TECH GLITCHES

    TYSON- PAUL FIGHT FRAUGHT WITH TECH GLITCHES

    The world was watching.. the grand return of Mike Tyson fighting the new self proclaiming face of boxing Jake Paul.

    After all of the rounds ended, Jake Paul was awarded victor while Mike Tyson’s stunned and he was agonizing for breath in real time..

    But before that less than dramatic end to the overall boring matchup, Netflix streaming was the biggest battle viewers had..

    Online social media was graced with a number of comments from users worldwide of streaming problems, freezing screens, botched audio..

    This X was amongst the favorites we saw reacting:

    For those old enough to remember how watching less than desirable late night movies on HBO and Cinemax were back when you had the box and the channels were scrambled? Think that.

    Comically.. at times Mike Tyson looked as he did during his MIKE TYSON PUNCH OUT game from the 1980s..

    Iron Mike is less than iron, or “i run” as last night’s announcer kept calling him. But he made for a ‘made for streaming moment’ that frustrated viewers around the world.

    Mike Tyson slaps before Friday night fight

    No really..

    I mean, I would never accuse boxing of being like the World Wrestling Entertainment federation, and I’m sure you would not either. 😀

    Anyway…

  • The Onion wins the infowar!

    The Onion wins the infowar!

    The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably InfoWars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform.

    Jones announced the sale on X Thursday morning.

    Not all details have been made public.. but media reporting this:

    “I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they are shutting us down even without a court order this morning,” Jones said.

    “The Connecticut democrats with The Onion newspaper bought us,” he added.

    The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators,according to a person with knowledge of the sale.

  • No Joker: Comedian who had cameo in film says JOKER 2 was the worst film ever made

    No Joker: Comedian who had cameo in film says JOKER 2 was the worst film ever made

    But he also missed his cameo because he was texting.

    Comedian Tim Dillon had a less than a few seconds role in “Joker: Folie à Deux” as an Arkham Asylum security guard..

    He appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and trashed Todd Phillips’ controversial “Joker” sequel as “the worst film that has ever been made.”

    “It’s the worst film ever made,” Dillon said. “I think what happened, after the first ‘Joker,’ there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!’ All these think pieces. And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it’s insane.”

     Dillon himself missed his big scene because he was too busy texting his friends about how awful the film turned out..

  • UFO/UAP week part 2

    UFO/UAP week part 2

    We needed a sequel.

    Remember that excitement when Congress had public hearings about UFOs.. and when the media and government began to officially call them UAPs to sound less conspiratorial and more mainstream? It’s happening again..


    Not only is a new documentary on Netflix starring the one and only occasional Coast host and renowned reporter George Knapp but the term ‘Immaculate Constellation’ has been trending on X.

    The term “Immaculate Constellation” is sometimes used in UFO lore to describe a mysterious or otherworldly alignment of stars, planets, or celestial bodies that is believed to have significance in extraterrestrial phenomena.

    While not a widely recognized term in mainstream UFO studies, it often pops up in discussions linking UFO sightings to cosmic or spiritual events.

    Some theorists suggest that these alignments could signal the arrival of advanced civilizations or be tied to extraterrestrial navigation systems, where certain constellations act as beacons or markers for alien craft traveling through our galaxy. The concept blends astronomy with speculative ideas about extraterrestrial intelligence and cosmic influence, feeding into the broader narrative of UFO sightings being part of a grander celestial pattern.


    But now.. with all those Netflix docs and Tweets.. or X’s whatever we call them now, here comes Congress again.

    Right on queue.

    If someone was a conspiracy theorist they may allege this is all full scale media sorcery on purpose. Congress is set to hold more UFO.. err.. UAP hearings on November 13th..

    This time we will hear from a Navy Admiral..

    Held by the House Oversight Committee, the hearing, titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth,” will begin on the 13th at 11:30 a.m. ET, and one witness said to be there is retired Navy Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet, who has spoken about his experiences with UAPs and unexplained submerged objects..

  • Today’s special birthday: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

    Today’s special birthday: NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

    A little movie about a guy with claws.. Freddy went from villain to 1980s phenom as movie after movie eventually got minced out like sausage in a factory..

    But it all started on November 9 1984 when Wes Craven’s creation took hold as a pop culture icon.

    It also gave is Heather Langenkamp–and Johnny Depp.

    The original A Nightmare on Elm Street, released in 1984, was a groundbreaking slasher film written and directed by Wes Craven. With a modest budget of around $1.8 million, it grossed over $25 million at the U.S. box office, making it a surprise hit. The film not only launched the iconic horror franchise but also helped propel the careers of several key figures. It introduced audiences to Robert Englund as the infamous Freddy Krueger, whose portrayal became legendary. Additionally, it played a significant role in the early careers of actors like Johnny Depp, whose role as Glen earned him his first major film credit, and actress Heather Langenkamp, who starred as the film’s protagonist, Nancy. The success of Nightmare also solidified Wes Craven as a major force in the horror genre.

    But..

    Going back in time, just for fun, we find this little snippet review of the film from the AP that was shared in newspapers across America a the time–and with reviews like this, 40 years of Freddy just should never have happened.

    Happy birthday Fred … no worries about bad reviews anymore.
