Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

It feels like a good time for an introduction. I’m a researcher of right wing extremism and have focussed on online radicalisation for around the last 5 years or so. While I’m currently in the depths of PhD writing, my other work focuses on online culture, anti-LGBTQ+ hate and neo-Nazism. 👋
