Getting dark there, Onion, but on point.

They've been brutal since this entire thing began. More truth coming from The Onion than damn near anywhere else, it seems.

Don't disagree at all on the sentiment, but this was NewsThump and not everybody's favorite Allium

They've also just recently been bought by someone who really wants to restore it to it's heyday glory. They're going to do video content again and even release a print edition for paid subscribers.

I ate the onion on that title…

How does it taste?

I can confirm, it's got a very mild smell because I was that close to eating it myself and almost took a bite.

The essence of comedy is pain.

This particular satire comes from a place of anger, not humor. The best satire does.

i know that you're right. that doesn't make it any easier.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

No, it doesn't. This fucking sucks.

The Onion is exactly on point.
