What joke is on me? Some people are downvoting/flagging me, maybe the joke is on them.

> 6-Week-Old Baby I appreciate this story appears to be all about the rage-bate headlines, but I don't believe that either six-week old babies say "Mama" (with purpose) or that a baby that age would be capable of responding in the way described to an adult saying "there is no Mama". It doesn't work like that at that age. [Source: have three kids]
Source: the video: https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/2045335697893269640 Edit: but it is likely the baby is older than 6 weeks in that video - this seems to be the source of confusion (read carefully - the 6-week-old video was a different, older video): In December, when Texson was 6 weeks old, he shared a video with the text overlay “6 week old homophobic baby,” which was viewed more than 36 million times. In that vi…
So a Mr. McAnally told his son he has two dads? Sounds beleivable.

My favorite headlines: "Video: ‘Homophobic’ 6-Week-Old Baby Cries After Gay Dad Tells Him ‘There Is No Mama’" "UK Approves Bills To Remove Criminal Penalties For Women Who Commit Their Own Abortions" "Nigerian Photographed Killing Cat And Trying To Cook It In Front Of Children’s Playground In Italy"

I think it’s pretty obvious that the cringe-worthy part is the story-selection. To refer to anoyher headline, do they run a story every time some Englishman fucks a goat? No, of course not; it’s only newsworthy if it’s [minority you should hate].
That’s cringeworthy.

I'm not sure what point you're making but there's nothing satirical about the second headline. The UK really did just legislate to decriminalise abortion up to the point of birth. I don't see how that's a laughing matter.
That is simply not true. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/03/27/misleading-hea...

There are some folks really upset about us not platforming a maniac. If you feel like stopping Alex Jones from being actively harmful is a slippery slope directly to something you might say, boy, I would want to take a minute and think that through.
Don't read too much into it, it's just a joke, I'm very happy with Jones losing his platform. I thought I could add to the Onion's satire with a bit of my own, but forgot how hard it is sometimes to tell apart humor from Fox News-induced mental illness. Sorry about that.
Ooh, my bad for not even considering the possibility!

Ok so they feel strongly about gun violence, where's the humorous part here? It's a pretty funny headline being used the first time, maybe they were better in 2014.
Satire doesn't always have to be "ha ha" funny. They've got plenty of that material. As mass shootings became more and more common as a news satire site they felt that they couldn't continue to keep their heads in the sand and needed to write something about it. They couldn't continue to not write something about the news, and yet they felt they had to write something. Jimmy Kimmel is often Ha Ha funny... and yet htt…
Sounds like what I originally said, it's not actually funny, it's just sad/angry. South Park has some examples of doing satire right.

There are people who laugh at Alex, but his views are genuinely held.
Genuinely held by him? I remember seeing this guy 10+ years ago on YT and thought he's simply trying to sell water filters by scaring people.
And? Most grifters believe their own grift; it's confirmation bias.
Re: At long last, InfoWars is ours
#229Please can someone correct my opinion on this because I'm sure I'm missing something. I find it crazy that in the US you can't take an opinion on something without risking being bankrupted because that thing you said is later proven untrue and that it hurt someone's feelings – feeling which in the US have a monetary value of billions apparently. I agree that the media should be evidence based and it's bad when the me…
Yes, your understanding is not aligned with the facts of the case. This was not close to an unfair abridgement of Mr. Jones's rights. Timeline: 1. Alex Jones hosts guests on his show questioning if a mass school shooting was a falsified event. 2. The controversy drove a massive increase in traffic to his videos. 3. This encouraged Mr. Jones to host additional guests who made direct claims that parents of the slain ch…

Alex Jones lives rent free in peoples heads. They mistake a phyrric victory for a real victory.
they took everything he owned and are now unraveling all the bullshit tricks he used to hide his assets. Certainly it's more real than phyrric.
He can own new things. So, other than inconveniencing him slightly, I'm not sure what we've accomplished.
