The Onion’s owner said on Thursday that the satirical news site has been sold to a new Chicago-based firm created by four digital media veterans who are fans of the publication.
Apparently by super-fans of The Onion who wanted to save it when they saw it was for sale. And they have some great plans for it: fund it well, bring back ONN, keep the staff, and let them do whatever they want!
Many people have commented, since they were bought out by their (now previous) ownership that they really needed to be owned by someone who both understood them, actually liked them, and could fund them, even through periods when they might not always be “extremely profitable”. Their (now past) ownership wasn’t the type to be so patient with periods of unprofitably or the controversy that the publication might expectedly generate.
Healthcare? Nah, let’s fight about it for decades and never give people anything meaningful. Education? Nah, let’s make our people go neck deep into debt and still fight about it for decades. Ban TikTok? Hold my bribery, you got it. Gimme 24 hours and you got it, boss.
I think it’s hilarious that the Texas officials are trying to spin this as “We drove those evil child mutilators out of our state!” while SCH is just like “We never actually did any business in Texas. This doesn’t impact us.”
It’s selling hypothetical water that is not there and will never be there. It’s a total scam that is going to bite drought-prone areas in the ass big time.
Compassion for other people? They couldn’t even have enough compassion for their own fucking kid. Obviously crying out for help and what do they do? Give him a fucking gun! America. Fuck yea.
I was actually asked by one of my old bosses, an American lady, why I didn’t leave the impending doom that is Switzerland.
I guess I prefer my godless wasteland with a highly functional public transportation system and our guns very reasonably regulated (we can actually buy more kinds of guns and more easily that the US).
Yeah, Denmark and Norway have populations of between 5.5 and 5.9 million. Of that 11 or so million, in 2023, a total of less than 30 thousand citizens decided to leave. And I would be willing to bet that the majority of those leaving went to one of the following countries: Norway, Denmark or Sweden.
What makes laws strong is precedent and this law doesn’t have any. Her case is too flimsy and we don’t want her to set precedent since she has infinite lawyers to defend her. Its better to get more solid cases first and then go after her when there is solid precedent.
Hello baby account that was created in order to comment on this thread but is also asking me to trust you.
The bill does not say that people will be arrested for “Not calling trans women women”. it’s the fucking Jordan Peterson thing again. You need to make clear threats towards the group and calling for the group to be abused to the same standard required by individual harassment charges.
So what’s the problem? She’s not making clear threats to the group or calling for them to be abused, but people in this thread still think she should be arrested.
It’s all about creating a permission structure. Accuse the other side of doing what you want to do. If they’re cheating, it means we must do the same to even the playing field. If “ANTIFA” is rioting in the streets, that means using force to break into the Capitol is ok too.
I feel like rich people are more brazen than ever before. It’s a long time before we see any guillotines for the rich in my country at least (the US). We regularly put people down who have pennies to their name though or just average Joes living their lives. Death by cop and death by violence in a broken penal system. Also completely unavoidable health issues that increasingly only the wealthy end can afford to rectify.
I’m tired of this phrase. It totally does. A statistically significant correlation is very frequently a good candidate for causation, pending other research.
Correlation does not prove causation. But it absolutely implies it, all other things being equal.
Imo mathematical logical notation is a perverse hijacking of actual words. Like in philosophy. Or certain “academic” terms.
Just use the existing words that already have definitions you want. Or if you must use different words, take a random one like “whales” or something. Don’t take the thing that has a definition and then use it to mean its opposite. Eventually that usage will trickle into popular usage and just confuse everyone.
For the most part, I believe they Did take existing words that had the definition they needed, then the common definitions changed over time while the sciences definitions stayed the same. The sciences need strict meanings for words, it’s a bit like legalese where they use outdated words or meanings, but for good reason - so that they know they are talking about the same thing, when common meanings drift all over.
In addition to the Pride flag, the measure approved by voters bans religious flags and breast cancer awareness flags, according to the Los Angeles Blade.
the measure only applies to city property and does not “ban” individuals from anything. but whatever gets clicks i guess 🤷♀️
If you know anything about Huntington Beach, the Florida of Orange County, you’d know it’s exactly because of the Pride flag. They’ve been trying to get it removed for years and this is their work around.
Edit: Additional context
California town proposes ban on Pride, Black and women’s history celebrations. Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence
“I really don’t want my child exploited on the internet,” said Kaelyn, a mother in Melbourne, Australia, who like Elissa and many other parents interviewed by The Times agreed to be identified only by a middle name to protect the privacy of her child.
“But she’s been doing this so long now,” she said. “Her numbers are so big. What do we do? Just stop it and walk away?”
“She got slaughtered all through primary school,” said Kaelyn, the mother in Melbourne. “Children were telling her, ‘We can’t play with you because my mom said too many perverts follow you on the internet.’”
No, lady don’t just stop it and walk away, that would be absolutely insane.
agreed to be identified only by a middle name to protect the privacy of her child.
Yeah, that’s why these moms did it. If they were so worried about their kids’ privacy, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have set up the accounts in the first place, but ok.
