Satirical website The Onion has bought conspiracy pundit Alex Jones InfoWars out of it bankruptcy (forced on Jones by the money owed to Sandy Hook survivors & families after he lost a case on the lies he told about the shooting).

Now the Q. is how many of InfoWars watchers will spot that there's been a change in ownership.... and how might The Onion use its new channel.

Sadly Jones has claimed he will continue posting just elsewhere....

It occurs to me that many of my fellow tootsies may enjoy my 2012 novel, The Fridgularity. It's about a web-enabled fridge taking over the internet and all other digital technology. It's a dozen years old, but I think it holds up pretty well.

Or you can get it for free if you sign up for my highly irregular newsletter. I mean that in two ways.

Having my tea while my breakfast congee is cooking & watching one of my fave YouTube channels, the #FridayNightSemites podcast.

Noam Shuster-Eliassi: The Israeli Comic Laughing in the Face of Apartheid

Noam Shuster-Eliassi is a self-described “traitor comedian” – an Israeli artist, activist, and all-around cultural troublemaker who isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Growing up in Israel’s only intentional Jewish/Palestinian community called Neve Shalom / Wahat as-Salam (‘Oasis of Peace’), Noam refused to join the Israeli army and instead became an organizer against the occupation. Now, she’s turning her unique perspective into comedy that takes on everything from Israeli censorship to the contradictions of what she calls the “peace industry.” Think of her humor as the antidote to Israel’s polished PR—challenging, honest, and unapologetically bold.

In this episode, Noam breaks down her one-woman show, Coexistence My Ass (yes, that’s really the name), the reactions to her pro-Palestine material, and the toll of being a loud voice for human rights and equality from Gaza to the West Bank and inside present-day Israel itself. She also dishes out some wild stories from her time at East Jerusalem’s “Corona Hotel” quarantine, shares what it’s like to speak at international peace summits without pulling punches, and dives into her own, not-so-sanitized take on Israel’s official narratives. This conversation gets real about the risks (and occasional rewards) of using comedy to cut through apartheid, dehumanization, and the unspoken hierarchies baked into Israeli society.

I don't write horror, but there is a strong #Halloween vibe in this novel, which won an IRDC award for best humor in 2013.

The Fridgularity us about an AI becoming self aware, taking over all digital technology, and only wanting to talk to one dude (a frustrated web designer) through his web enabled fridge.

(Yes, that's a raven on top of the fridge.)

So ... always turn off? I'm just gonna jam a screwdriver in it to be safe.

very confusing sign on a power box that says: Important do not never turn off


Did I turn off the stove? Hey wait, is the door locked or not? Remember that embarrassing thing that happened 32 years ago! Now you do! Boo!
