“We are emotionally and spiritually refreshed after a Connecticut jury ordered Alex Jones to pay nearly $1Billion to Sandy Hook families in a defamation case. Jones has for years falsely claimed that the 2012 school shooting was a hoax. You know how as humans, we have to accept the fact that sometimes bad things happen to good people? Well, by the grace of God, sometimes bad things happen to Alex Jones. The $965 Million verdict follows a Texas ruling which ordered Jones to pay $50 Million to another Sandy Hook family, bringing his total bill to over $1 Billion. You heard that right: billion with a capital BYEEEE. And that’s it. That’s that story. Lot of other stories to talk about tonight but I’d be just as happy to stand here and grin.” —Stephen Colbert
“Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is having a rough go of it. First, he renamed Facebook Meta, as in he never met a democracy he couldn’t destroy. The company’s stock price has also tumbled nearly 60% in the past year, as Meta has struggled with its titular metaverse, where Zuckerberg envisions, according to a New York Times report, ‘billions’ of people inhabiting ‘immersive digital environments for hours on end, working, socializing and playing games’. And you know how you don’t want to do any of the things I just described to you? Zuckerberg thinks you do, because his head is up an immersive experience called his butt.” —Stephen Colbert
