Sad times for Fyre Festival 2 ticketholders (any fediverse folk admitting to having splashed out?) as its founder Billy McFarland has announced the cancelation of the event. But some lucky person will get to buy the brand, which is now for sale. When our @CultureDesk posted about this, they (and commenters) pooh-poohed the idea of anyone wanting to invest in Fyre Festival. But we have an idea: How about @theonion.com purchases the name, makes merch, and donates the money to good causes. We’d certainly pay for a “I went to the Fyre Festival 2, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” tee.

@Lana #notTheOnion Sigh. Where's the :party-try-not-to-cry: emoji when I need it...
@georgetakei This is so hilarious and so pointedly formulated.
#nottheonion but they should definitely steal it!
@chrisstoecker Ich bin über die 2011 gestolpert, als ich auf Google+ anfing, und sortierte sie erst in den Kreis „komische Seiten“ ein, also zusammen mit The Onion, Tagespresse, Postillon und so, weil die absurdes Zeugs berichtet haben. Ich habe dann aber schnell gemerkt, dass das gar keine Satire war, sondern US-Realität.
Das gilt natürlich auch für diesen Fall hier, der fällt auch unter #nottheonion. Absurd, aber real.

"Israels Regierung intensiviert die Beziehungen zu europäischen Rechtsextremen. Mit ihnen will sie jetzt eine Antisemitismus-Konferenz veranstalten."
Ich zitiere Fefe: "wir sind in einen Realitätszweig abgebogen, der nicht für den Produktivbetrieb gedacht war..."

"The White House stated it will "absolutely not" return the Statue of Liberty to France, according to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
French politician Raphael Glucksmann expressed disappointment in the U.S., stating it "no longer represents the values of freedom" and demanded the statue's return."

Gov. Greg Abbott backs bill banning 'non-human' behavior in schools https://www.kut.org/politics/2025-03-14/furries-texas-school-choice-vouchers
The Forbidden Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act, would codify rules against students barking, hissing, licking or meowing in schools. The “non-human behavior” cited in the bill would also ban students from wearing tails, leashes or fur, unless it’s Halloween or another approved holiday where costumes are expected.
