See, the thing about a liquidation sale is: no liquid customer is refused. Make an offer and if there's no counter offers, it's YOURS. So The barbed wire might actually end up with infowars, its IP catalogue, and its infrastructure.

I'm aware. One of them will also probably make an offer to jones himself to continue to host his verbal diarrhea in such a way that he looks like he's doing volunteer work and still getting paid ridiculously for it.
One can hope though, one has to have hope.

Meteorologists Get Death Threats as Hurricane Milton Conspiracy Theories Thrive
It's their job to warn residents about destructive storms — but political polarization has made them targets online.

Seems some of the people sending threats decided to try to go make good on them.
Gotta love people who are so insecure about their average intelligence that they'll put everyone else in danger so they can tell themselves that they're smarter than experts.
So I used to work with an individual. She was a nice lady, a good boss, and a fairly badass LT at the prison. I liked her as a friend.
The other day she posted she wished Elon Musk would run for president and I pointed out that he can't because he's not an American. She replied that neither was Obama. Then her husband chimed in about falsifying a birth certificate does not qualify one to be president.
Aside from my disappointment in learning an old friend is one of those nut jobs, I am amazed that these people still exist. Even years after his presidency, years after any of this was questioned, there are still people who think Obama was a kenyan plant made to destroy America. What the bloody ****?

You can't fix stupid, man. You have to prevent it.
Few things in adulthood are more disappointing than finding out people you liked or are friends with have their heads firmly imbedded up their own ass. It's straight up depressing. Like, these are good people that I worked with for years. I know them to be capable, intelligent people. So why the hell are they wrapped up in something so ******* stupid and so disproven that years later it's a goddamn joke? It'd be like finding out your bestie is a flat earther.
Racism is a hell of a drug.
My favorite part about that image is that it shows a kid surrounded by "radiatiation-emitting" objects. If the lead in the walls really did deflect that stuff (which I doubt it can do, being a compound of lead rather than pure metal), all it would do is bounce it right back at him. If they had two brain cells left from all the lead paint they probably ate as a kid, they'd have depicted radiation getting beamed into a house by a nearby cell tower or something.
Oh, and incidentally, the dangers of lead poisoning were well established long before some brain-genius thought it would be a great idea to start using it in paint. And gasoline. And the vast majority of plumbing in the world...
What I'm getting at is that lead poisoning's most dangerous symptom is that it apparently makes people stupid enough to want to spread it. Like toxoplasmosis making people want to get more cats.

Lead in plumbing goes back to ancient Rome(they used the stuff as a sweetener too, though they actually didn't know any better at the time), but your other points are spot on and the continued use of lead in plumbing AFTER the dangers were known due to the lead industry's meddling is horrific.(wasn't banned for plumbing use nationwide until 1986....)
