Is the Space Karen's Dad not effectively some random South African?

Why on earth is he being interviewed, as if what he says has any relevance?

And finally, the most chucklesome story in a week that’s been light on laughs: Our @NewsDesk reported on The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars, which its founder was forced to sell after being successfully sued by the families of Sandy Hook victims. “They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon,” said CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder in a statement.

Here’s @AssociatedPress’s story on the takeover, which includes not just the site, but the social media presence, video archives, trademarks, and even Jones’ studio in Austin, Texas.

A curious theme emerged when we were compiling this week’s #NewstodonFriday — the importance of down-ballot elections in the U.S. School choice, state judicial elections, and school boards don’t get a lot of attention, but can have a long-lasting, outsized impact on people’s lives. If you’re motivated to run for something and don’t know how, it’s worth following @amandalitm, who founded the Run For Something organization. But we digress.

Also in this week’s selection, find stories about alternatives to loss and damage funds for climate disasters, going incognito, Infowars, earwigs, and, of course, Elon Musk. Please check out the stories, follow the publications, click on the stories, subscribe, donate and otherwise support if you can.

Last year, the Indian government announced they had found a huge reserve of lithium in Kashmir. Now, @restofworld reports that extraction plans have been halted as industry experts say government info on the land is “misleading and quite inadequate.”

People in Ukraine are worried about how Trump’s victory might affect them. The team at @timkmak’s Counter Offensive talked to people on the ground about their concerns. “If we get discouraged because an election has taken place in another country and we don't like the president elected, we will never have independence and autonomy,” says 21-year-old Yelyzaveta Kanievska.

A little bit of Democrat joy from @bolts as they report on Monique Worrell, the state attorney who was ousted by Ron DeSantis last year, and beat her replacement, Federalist Society member Andrew Bain, to win her job back.
