Had to really check whether this was The Onion or Notthheonion

Have to check with reality daily whether I'm in a simulation gone wrong or has the entire world suddenly gone insane. It's literally wake up, read the news and say WTF.

First scrolled past it thinking business as usual. Then went back to check!

Onion articles now have a shelf life.

"Spoiled Onions" sounds like a cool sublemmy name...

axing of talk shows hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, but unfortunately not Jimmy Fallon.

Got me good. Fallon's rise of fame is one of the most perplexing things in show business to me

The Onion writers are going to have to work much harder, this was in my feed next to his arrest threats to protesters bothering him during dinner. EITHER could have Onion, or fact.

The Onion just takes tomorrows headlines and prints them today... shame on their lack of creativity.

Is there any chance that MAGA will recognize this complete disregard of free speech?

Wouldn't be the first time they've disappointed me. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So much for the tolerant right.
