There was a merry triumphalism to the announcement last week that The Onion, a satirical outlet based in Chicago, won an auction to acquire the conspiracy site Infowars out of bankruptcy. The deal seemed done: Infowars went offline; memes of an apoplectic Alex Jones, its founder, sped across social media; and Ben Collins, chief executive of The Onion’s parent company, pronounced the coup “hilarious.”

A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge said Monday that the Washington-based Olympus Spa’s female-only policy is akin to a "whites-only" policy. Olympus Spa, a Christian Korean-run operation, is currently arguing in court that its mandate limiting patrons to "biological females" is protected by constitutional rights.
