      Remember a few years ago when a teenager took an interstate trip to play cop and threaten black people with a gun?

      And then he ended up killing some people and cried a lot in the trial (“I’m the victim” tears, not “I regret murdering those guys” tears)

      And he became a conservative star.

      Satire doesn’t stand a chance against reality

        Nah man, that kid just intuitively knew that the one guy he shot was a pedophile which is why he cannot possibly be criticized.

    WHAT’S HIS NA… oh, the Onion, right. Practically the only “real” news source left, even if a little fuzzy on the details:-).

    when asked why they watch a grown man cry, one viewer said, “i don’t know, it’s like he says what i’m thinking before i even think it”

    Looks like the Republicans found their clap back to Taylor Swift’s Superbowl endorsement.

      Are they? Good luck and god-speed to them. The publishers of these companies are awful. I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to just get college students to generate content using LLMs for “exposure”.

      These people are the worst, and I fear that they don’t care if their content is garbage. But I hope that if the writers don’t get a fair deal, they make a new site or something.

      Looks like they reached a deal a few hours ago. Good for them. Strikes are important but they fucking suck on all sides.

    Austin, TX? Nailed it. Both because we’re rife with fascists and because we will make them cry.

    eh… this is kind of weak for the Onion.

    This feels like Babylon Bee-level satire.

    It’s not a bad concept, it’s just that it’s more of a starting idea. It’s not really formatted effectively as a parody news article.
