"The Jury voted against Jones, therefore it means he gets to keep InfoWars and also not pay them." is wild.

The lights go out at Alex Jones’ Infowars | The longtime conspiracist host aired the last episode this week, and still owes over $1 billion to the Sandy Hook families.

That's honestly beside the point. This case wasn't about his "grift" it was about harassment of the Sandy Hook families, who have not seen a penny from Jones yet, despite winning the case two years ago. The judge tried to come up with convoluted logic to make sure Jones retains control of IW despite, again, losing the case the judge presided over. It's insanity.

Rumble, where he's still using the InfoWars branding:

It's absolutely crazy the gymnastics the judicial system is making to keep Jones on the air and prevent the families of the Sandy Hook victims from seeing restitution.

This shutdown was Jones's decision not the courts or The Onion:

A judge granted Jones’ request to block the sale, arguing that another offer by a company that happened to operate Jones’ online supplements store had been higher. But in April, there seemed to be a workaround — Jones’ estate had run out of money and instead of buying it in an auction, The Onion could just pay rent in a licensing deal. On Wednesday, a Texas appeals court stopped the transfer again, temporarily blocking the asset handover.
And so it seems Jones, unable to pay the rent, left on his own accord.

Plant-Based Mince Now 29% Cheaper Than Beef at Tesco as Meat Prices Climb

Same! My introduction was that I ordered the "burger" at a gastropub that was a vegan restaurant (unbeknownst to me). It was delicious so I asked the bartender for another and he goes "another veggie burger?" and I said "No I had the meat burger" and he replied "we don't have a meat burger here". My mind was blown! And now I don't buy beef anymore lol

"Beyond" products taste good, and they're meat-like but don't really taste like anything that currently exists, whereas everything I've tried from Impossible is pretty much indistinguishable from meat, it's actually kind of wild.

I'm not even vegetarian (one day) but I was able to cut out red meat entirely thanks to these brands.

I have the feeling most of the Star Trek viewers aren't exactly the target of the producers. (Do writers in general has this problem?)

Kim Jong Un said North Korean troops chose 'self-detonation' to avoid capture by Ukraine

No reason to believe what he says is true
