Probably just shutting down a website critical of another right-wing douchebag.

I'm way more interested in why he bought goblinlove.com.

Just one of those late night purchases

it's alex jones, not jeff gerstmann

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So you're saying he purchased goblin porn during working hours?

Misinformation doesn't take time off

me and my 3am bought domain agree. (I never bought a host and can't figure it out myself)

I've been tempted. Thankfully I always realize i have no idea what to do with it.
I'd love my own email, but the threat of having major email providers reject my emails stops me.

"And I woke up and went to go piss. And... GOD told me 'look at your phone and it'll say 4 am.' And I looked at my phone and, sure enough, 4am. Then God said 'now count 16 slowly, and it'll be 4:01 and you will finish pissing.' And so I started counting slowly... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5... Alex death cough 6. 7. 8. 2nd Alex death cough 9 10 11 12... 13 14... 15. 16. Boom! 4:01. And then I say to God, CRYING, because of God's brilliance, 'I know you're trying to tell me something. What do you want me to do!' And then God tells me, 'buy goblinlove.com.'"

-Alex Jones probably

Dude. Bravo! That was great

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He better use that amazing domain. I can't have the email I wanted now.

You could ask the guys at the onion if they'd transfer it over to you. They seem to be fun blokes.

Alex knows all about goblins.

are we gonne talk about the “goblinlove” and “goblinnest” domains or pretend that never happened?

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This is perhaps the most digestible introduction to Jones' "goblin" worldbuilding, presented as an indie folk song. Spoiler: its xenophobia/racism

Controlled opposition as usual. I made a website 'Alex Jones Exposed'. -Was at the top of search results for 2 months and did very well. Next thing I know its buried by all these fluff pieces.

Alex Jones and Rogan had some beef 5 years ago when Rogan had Jack Dorsey on his podcast. He probably bought the site hoping it would make a bigger splash in the news.

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wonder how upset Alex Jones was when he realized he misspelled "memekitchin .com"

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

He doesn't cater to an audience that can spell so probably didn't care.
