The Onion’s offer to buy right-wing provocateur Alex Jones’ Infowars platform, as part of a liquidation to pay off his debts to the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, is on hold until a bankruptcy judge can approve it.
Houston bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Lopez at a hearing Monday rejected a request from Jones for an emergency temporary restraining order to stop a bankruptcy trustee or those from The Onion from taking over Infowars assets, saying it wasn’t necessary since he hasn’t entered an order allowing such a change.
Lopez said he’s ready to consider objections as early as next week from Jones, a losing bidder, or others who have concerns with the transparency of the auction or the structure of the winning bid. The decision will determine whether Jones can remain on air on the platform he’s been broadcasting on for roughly 25 years.
Thats less time between us and the dinosaurs. Earth bet everything on us, if we dont reach the stars our cradle will become our grave.
Nah. We already have octopi, crows, and dolphins with high degrees of intelligence. Human civilization only evolved in the last 100k years or so. Its doable.
For the record I think we need to solve the climate crisis with great urgency. I just don’t think it will be the end of life on Earth. I also believe black holes birth new universes so if we don’t get it right this time around we can get it right next time around! Haha just kidding we’ll fuck that earth up too.
