I did not realize that a large part of The Onion buying InfoWars was about getting the Sandy Hook families the money they were supposed to have gotten from the lawsuit against Jones, and honestly that's some top-tier human decency right there?

We've sold a LOT of rainbow InfoWars merch (with more to come!) over the last month, since we reached a deal to take over InfoWars with the estate's court appointed receiver. We're giving 100% of proceeds so far to the families via whatever mechanism the court allows.

The Onion doesnโ€™t yet have permission to publish under the Infowars brand, and Jones is fighting the takeover in court. Nevertheless, The Onion plans to launch its new version of Infowars on July 2, CEO Ben Collins wrote in a staff memo shared with MS NOW. The new website and social media channels will feature original programming, including a parody of Jonesโ€™ old show, and will route more than $100,000 to the Sandy Hook families, an initial payment drawn from rainbow-colored Infowars merchandise The Onion has sold in anticipation of its takeover.

I think it's weird that we are the only people who call yams yams, and I think everyone else is right to discourage the eating of yams. (They taste bad to me and are the wrong kind of sweet for a vegetable.)

Text from Wikipedia reading "These tubers are known as uqa in Quechua, oca in Spanish, yams in New Zealand and several other alternative names."

After our rising concern about the plans for services and timetables when City Rail Link opens, it's great to see things are starting to get back on track. In today's post, a new map and other detailed updates from our meeting with Auckland Transport: www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/04/30/c...
