The Onion is just on fire lately. They’re figuring out how to do satire again in the worst timeline.
It's actually because The Onion was sold to Jeff Lawson (founder of Twilio) at the end of April. He appointed Ben Collins, formerly a senior reporter at NBC News covering “disinformation, extremism and the internet” as the CEO. Here's what he had to say:
“My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO. We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and shar[ing] the wealth with staff. Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.”
Are you asking me or just deliberately being a dick about a spelling mistake? Don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question.
Nope, as far as I'm aware a motive hasn't been made public. But I'm willing to chalk it up to some people just being miserable jerks.
TBH I never expected the perps to be black. It will quite interesting to unpack their motives and put it into some historical perspective regarding purposeful, inadvertent or ignorant destruction by European colonial invaders in, uh… everywhere else in the world.
Wanna know how I know you only glanced at the picture?
By 2050, as many as an additional 246 million adults 69 and older could experience temperature extremes that exceed 37.5° Celsius.

Pfftt, amateur hour. You're not a real capitalist success story until you've hoarded enough wealth to afford hiring a poor person to do your fork-stabbing for you.
Yeah, I used to run into you in r/skeptic a lot, fighting the good fight lol. And we both know the mods of that sub let it be overrun with all types of deniers and insane conspiracy theorists... But at least those trolls put a little more effort into it than just scoffing at experts.
Apparently those brainiacs with their fancy book learnin' and expertise are useless. We must all sift through hundreds of thousands of pages of raw data before reaching any conclusions. The entire concept of career specialization is wrong! Throw it out!
"I'm not a climate change denier but why does anyone care what experts think?!" 🙄

Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by a New York appeals court.
Yeah, it takes a whole lot of misogyny for a man to look at this dude's actions and statements over decades in the public eye and still arrive at the opinion that Donald fucking Trump respects women.
Here's the first sentence to clear things up:
This month, The New York Times/Siena College poll asked voters how much they think former President Trump respects women.
Women do not see it that way, and that could matter this fall.
George Terwilliger, a lawyer representing Meadows, said he had not yet seen the indictment.
"If Mr. Meadows is named in this indictment, it is a blatantly political and politicized accusation and will be contested and defeated,” he said.
Your client tried to overthrow the results of the election and install a fascist dictator, take this talk of "blatantly political/politicized accusations" and shove it.
Yeah but I gotta say, it's pretty funny that they attach a CC license notice to every inane comment they post.
In a developing story coming out of New York University, where more than 150 protestors were arrested last night for demanding that the university divest from companies that profit from Israeli apartheid, a spokesperson from NYU announced that the institution “supports individuals’ right to freedom

By golly that sure does sound like some of that there 'election interference' Trump and his chuds are always screeching about, don't it?

ARLINGTON, VA – The official Boeing Twitter account posted an announcement today expressing its condolences for the death of the second whistleblower in their lawsuit,…
It’s not a subtle or clever tactic and it doesn’t fool anyone these days but people still insist on LARPing/concern trolling in comment sections. It’s like a compulsion.
“As the most Lefty Left McLefterson who ever Lefted here’s some right wing talking points I heard on Tucker Carlson’s Twitter show”
