After a back-and-forth in court in 2024, it appears that The Onion really might take control of Alex Jones’ Infowars.

The Onion is already promoting the new project, which will be under the creative direction of Tim Heidecker.

Coachella wraps up today with Karol G.

This is also your last chance to catch any performances you might have missed. Last week I missed out on Clipse, Young Thug, The Rapture, and Tomora, so they’re my priority. But I also am looking forward to Röyksopp, who didn’t make the stream last weekend. Head over to the official Coachella YouTube channel.
