Turning into an odd form of a take over. Basically renting it for 3 months to let Tim Heidecker do a few shows??

Editorialized title. It has a plan to take over that will need approval. Lots of non-paywalled coverage that would be better links, eg:<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/20/the-onion-alex-jones-infowars" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/20/the-onion-al...</a><p>See previous discussion linked in sibling as well.
