The Onion’s Infowars Bid Gets Blocked

In a statement, an attorney for the families told The New York Times that they “remain resilient and determined as ever to hold Alex Jones and his corrupt businesses accountable for the harm he has caused.”

Alex Jones won’t be held accountable. He’s learned nothing from this legal battle considering he still talks shit about the Sandy Hook families every chance he gets. Half of our government is being replaced with the same kind of batshit crazy radical right conspiracy theorists as we speak.

US Food and Drug Administration moves to ban red food dye

Red 3 is used in nearly 3,000 different food products, according to a database by one environmental health group, including Pez, Peeps, Betty Crocker’s products and Dubble Bubble chewing gum. Like other food dyes, it adds nothing of nutritional value and is used instead to add color to foods for marketing purposes.

I’ve always thought adding dye to everything we eat is dumb. Like how they add red dye to raw meat to make it look like it’s bleeding. o.O

…also Crystal Pepsi tastes the same as regular Pepsi. I’ll die on this hill.

‘Hawk Tuah’ Creator Haliey Welch Criticized For Memecoin Launch After Price Crashes

I wondered why “hawk tuah” was trending across social media again. I didn’t even read this article; the title says it all. Literally every cryptocurrency ‘project’ follows the same process.

Build hype around a new coin which is literally just a copy of the 20,000 different ones that came before it.

Promise a bunch of people on twitter that you’ve locked your entire holdings for X amount of years because you have a long term vision for it. Tell everyone you haven’t sold a single coin and you don’t plan on it. At least not for the foreseeable future. You might have a staking plan to make your investors passive income until the end of time, maybe a NFT project or an airdrop in a year (or three) for all the diamond hand holders.

We’re all gonna make it!

You aren’t doing this to make a quick buck, you tell your investors. This is a real project with real world utility. It looks exactly the same as last week’s big meme coin but you promise everyone it’s truly unique and different. This is going to be the biggest transfer of wealth in history!!11!

Publish the official contract address so no one buys the wrong thing and gets scammed - remember - this is definitely not a scam but there are so many scammers out there who want to steal the generational wealth you’re about to make!

The coin goes live, the people who got in early dump on all the dipshits who are YOLOing their life savings into it, it crashes and you assure everyone that it’s all going to be fine. Crypto is a volatile market after all. We’re definitely all still going to make it, you just have to hold until the next phase of this cycle.

Sure, it’s possible to make a lot of money if you learn how to play the market and exploit the greater fool, but then you can do the same thing selling crack too.

Want to Try Tab Groups in Firefox? Here’s How

if you have upgraded to Firefox 133 you can manually enable tab groups to try it out. Just keep in mind it’s not enabled by default for a very good reason: it’s not finished!

I’ve wanted this for SO LONG. Might have to switch from Firefox ESR to try it out 👀

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is much better without microtransactions

The original Pocket Camp has technically shut down, replaced by Pocket Camp Complete, which gets rid of all the in-app purchases in exchange for a one-time fee.

Love this! The microtransactions are the reason I couldn’t keep it installed on my phone for more than a day or two. It’s now $10 for the full game and it looks like it’ll go up to $20 next month, according to The Verge. Well worth the price in the name of de-enshittification.

Meta says it’s mistakenly removing too many posts

He said the company regrets aggressively removing posts about the COVID-19 pandemic. CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently told the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee the decision was influenced by pressure from the Biden administration.

I assume he means misinformation on COVID? Of course he wants more conspiracy theories. Meta is in the business of rage and division as a service.

The company publicly apologized after its systems suppressed photos of President-elect Donald Trump surviving an attempted assassination.

How dare they remove propaganda that makes Trump look like he courageously took a bullet to the face in the fight against fake news and the commie liberals.

I’ve never had a bullet slightly graze my ear but I DID cut myself shaving the other day. I feel like an American hero.
