I've noticed a distinct sharpening of the satire at The Onion since it changed hands.

I didnt know the onion got new management but seems like its working.

It got bought by a group of super fans who specifically formed a company just to buy it and return it to its former glory. They even plan to bring back ONN!

Edit: the company the super fans formed is called Global Tetrahedron Corp, which long-time The Onion fans will recognize as the (now formerly) fictional global megacorp featured in countless past articles.

Oh that would be really good!

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Management has layers. It’s complicated.

I can't tell if the Onion gets their ideas from the stuff DeSantis does or if DeSantis gets his ideas from reading the Onion.

In my opinion, the funniest thing about the phrasing of the headline:

It would just straight up make it illegal to be a woman of color in Florida, which might be the republican goal irl

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Now you're getting it

[-] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

No, they're allowed to be of colour. They just need to produce white sons somehow.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

It's technically possible for a woman of color to have white children, due to Punnett square shenanigans. Not likely, but it has happened.

But there's also the issue of the timeline. Age of consent in Florida is 18, so (assuming no other laws are to be broken) this would require even white women to have an average of six kids in four years. Which is…also improbable.

Indeed, I know someone who looks like she's a mix of black and white. Her parents look black and her brother looks white.

Jesus, I almost ate that onion. For a moment, the headline shocked me, but wasn't that unbelievable... and that, in and of itself, is terrifying

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Thank you for this comment... double checked the sub lmao. This showed up in my feed.

Sounds exactly like something they would do.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

Don't give the Republicands anyy more ideas. DeSantis probably reads The Onion as a source of inspiration.

On the other hand, The Onion has perfectly summarized GOP ideas on this topic...

[-] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

Alabama has the same law but they must simultaneously be half-brothers

[-] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

And the onion is back out ahead of the curve (I hope)

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

This is so on point and explains their anti-immigration policies perfectly.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

As I’m sure pudding fingers will be inspired to make this into an actual law, and as I’m sure he doesn’t know what “ex post facto” means, I look forward to seeing this applied to my over-22-year-old childless sister.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It took me a minute to figure out who pudding fingers was. There are so many doughy politicians.
