        How is The Onion tankies? They were the ones trying to buy InfoWars to make it a comedy site, weren’t they?

              The tankies in this instance are Hexbear who would get the domain back when the Onion wins the bid and a corrupt judge disallows it.

              New appreciation for what the Onion does, making sure sealions are impossible without explaining the jokes.

                that (theonion case) was part of bankruptcy proceedings involving the assets in question.

                this, though, is 100% genuine free market.

            Sounds like it’s still ongoing, but I don’t see a TX judge having bearing on this situation.

        Nah, the onion was already prepared to spend millions buying the InfoWars domain for some grade A trolling, what’s a couple thousand for a side project trolling the troll lmao
