https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/17/a-vegan-etf-just-launched-and-its-holdings-may-surprise-you.html

On cnbc.com, the blocker blocker script provided by “Admiral” is served from acidpigs.com.
According to this page: https://www.neowin.net/news/anti-ad-blocking-firm-admiral-deals-potentially-damaging-blow-to-adblockers
Admiral, an anti-ad blocking company, which was behind the removal of the link said the domain is part of the DMCA copyright access control platform.
The link referred to in that case was "functionalclam.com". It sounds like Admiral uses a lot of weird domain names like that for serving its scripts.

Alongside “receptivereaction.com” and “resonantrock.com”, Leven Labs seem to follow a pattern of alliterative domain names.
But obviously they don't only use alliterative ones anymore.
