Get out the UV light and make sure to wear gloves around it.

OMG, that is awesome! They have a limited amount of time to capitalize on that before all the Infowars drones catch on.
Forget that, just lease the desk to a company that makes gay and trans porn and have people fuck on it.
There was nothing else in the news today but this. Every person on the planet knows at this point.
Except the person who just asked what it was about, I imagine that's why they asked .
Not when they exclusively get their news from fox, tucker, and Alex Jones. Most probably have no clue. One downside to isolationist media.
I'm not sure if OP means this, but given that the acquisition headline has been posted 500 times today, I assume they meant "what's the deal with the desk?"
"It's the desk from InfoWars, which The Onion just bought."
Better? Sorry I assumed y'all could put two and two together (it's four, btw).
I guess "the desk" is something that people who watch infowars know about? "The desk from infowars" doesn't give the rest of us any context.
Why didn't they ask about the carpet, or the refrigerator? What's so special about the desk?
Okay, I did a bit of googling and I think they refer to this desk:
Which... I guess... is iconic if you watch InfoWars?

Who owns The Onion? What to know after satire publication buys Alex Jones' Infowars
The current owner and chairman of The Onion is Jeff Lawson, with Ben Collins listed as chief executive officer, according to the publication's website.
However, The Onion's parent company is Global Tetrahedron, where Bryce P. Tetraeder is CEO.
Collins should GTFO of Bluesky, because it is a Nazi bar, about as much as 𝕏itter is.
Wat? It's full of gay furries and IT professionals haha
But you repeat yourself
nope, their name is tim onion.
and go where exactly? It's not as if fedi is any less fascist, racist etc. Quite the opposite in fact.
If you’re running into fascists and racists, then maybe you’re hanging out in the wrong parts of the fediverse.
What I'm saying is that it's no less a white supremacist network than anywhere else and I'm on an instance that has a zero tolerance policy for it. Yet people still show who they are even on 'good' instances that they don't (yet) block all too often, even and especially admins.
Hope Dan has room in his home studio!

For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.
