Jeff Lawson buys The Onion
- coloneltcb 3y agothis is one of those stories where you first hear it, you stop and think for one beat and then you say "of course, what an obvious move"
- rmason 3y agoJeff Lawson has state of Michigan connections. A University of Michigan grad he started a digital textbook company, but was just too early. Then he was founding CTO of StubHub which is based in Detroit. I regret never actually meeting him though we have some mutual friends in common. Tried to get him to speak at a hackathon I was running in Detroit during his early days at Twilio but he was simply too busy which I can understand. Got Dug Song, cofounder of Duo Security, and he did a terrific job of inspiring all of us.
- tanaros 3y agoWhy is Michigan relevant to buying The Onion?
- glokta 3y agoI hope they bring back T. Herman Zweibel. Always found his editorials edifying and educational.
- labster 3y agoArea man suckered into purchase of declining fake news website
- gneray 3y agoWell done
- extraduder_ire 3y agoI expected the site to have a story about grocery inflation gone wild, remarking at the absurd cost of a single root vegetable.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoFrom a different article: https://www.businessinsider.com/twilio-founder-jeff-lawson-bought-the-onion-2024-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/twilio-founder-jeff-lawson-b... > When asked whether he had purchased The Onion, Lawson played coy. "What's The Onion?" he replied. Then, "What's a Tetrahedron?" > Business Insider was unsure how to respond to these questions.
- SushiHippie 3y ago> "Am I talking to Twilio founder Jeff Lawson or am I just taking crazy pills today?" Business Insider's reporter replied. Lawson did not respond. This article is absolute gold, thanks for sharing haha
- tootie 3y agoHad no idea Ben Collins had become an executive at whatever this thing is. He was an excellent reporter and a guy who really, really understands how the internet works and how communities flourish or go toxic. He reported a lot about Kiwi Farms and Cloudflare's response to public pressure. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/worst-place-internet-kiwi-farms https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/worst-plac...

- atleastoptimal 3y agoThe Onion was great back when their Youtube channel created real videos. Now it's a mild chuckle every few months
- vundercind 3y agoI think they’re great and I’ve only seen like two or three of their videos ever.
- astrange 3y agoTheir Autistic Reporter series is probably the best thing they did.
- modeless 3y agoThey had amazingly high production values on classics like "Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA and "Sony Releases Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AyVh1_vWYQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AyVh1_vWYQ I wonder why they stopped.
- dralley 3y agoI assume video content is much more expensive They may also have been victimized by the scandal where Facebook was lying about the engagement that short-form videos generated over other kinds of content, leading several content producers into bankruptcy or near bankruptcy through loss of ad revenue when they pivoted towards it. https://slate.com/technology/2018/10/facebook-online-video-pivot-metrics-false.html https://slate.com/technology/2018/10/facebook-online-video-p... https://www.ccn.com/facebook-lied-about-video-metrics/ https://www.ccn.com/facebook-lied-about-video-metrics/

- knodi123 3y agoI tried but the checkout insisted that my phone number (that I've had for 20 years) was invalid. Oh well!
- jakedata 3y agoMissing from the Internet is "The Onion Guide to Actual Reality", a Flash based interactive feature from the 90s. It was brilliant and prescient like all good Onion features but it may never be ported to Ruffle or whatever else can render that content. Maybe Global Tetrahedron will invest in preserving some of that history. Also, le boy picked up my copy of Our Dumb Century and read it cover to cover a few years ago. I was pleased.
- paulpauper 3y agoI guess it's cheaper than a real news site, and is there any difference anymore? Babylon Bee has become defacto news now. I don't mean this in terms of blaming the left or the right, but just that it's hard for any entity to have any monopoly on the truth anymore. Mainstream, established news sites have to compete against AI-generated content and influencers in the 'news space', which has blurred the lines between truth or fiction or made it hard to know what is real or not. Sometimes stories can be true and and yet undisguisable from 'fake' news, hence why r/nottheoinion is a thing. I have seen people on twitter post literal fake news, and it goes viral until later debunked or deleted, which can still take hours even with community notes. Even reputable news sites are still occasionally forced to amend or even outright retract stories. When something chaotic and unexpected happens for which narration is unreliable, like a school shooting, who is right? It's just speculation for the first hour or so until something approaching 'truth' or an 'official narrative' coalesces or congeals. it's be awesome if the three ppl who downvoted my post could elaborate how i was wrong . It is possible I am way off and someone can guide me to the truth that I am missing here. I think communication is helpful for resolving differences and maybe someone can communicate how I erred that would be more helpful. Thanks.

- modeless 3y agoI wish that there was an equivalent to The Onion with a different political slant, but the quality of the writing in all of the Onion copycats is just plain bad. The Babylon Bee is awful.
- orf 3y agoThe Babylon Bee has got to be the most braindead thing I’ve stumbled upon in a long time.
- xippy 3y agoIt has some quite amusing headlines on its front page right now, very Onion-like: Hamas Thanks College Student Supporters By Promising Them A Quick Death During Global Intifada College Student So Caught Up Harassing Jews He Forgot About Term Paper On Inclusion This is one of my favorites from recent years, both funny and really gets to the point: NCAA Swimming Champ Caught In Possession Of Performance-Enhancing Testicles
- jamestimmins 3y agoTBD if this works, but this is 100% the kind of thing I want billionaires doing. More expensive, weird projects that are essentially public art.
- pants2 3y agoThis is the best birthday present I could have asked for. The Onion News Network has the funniest, most prescient videos online and I love going back to watch them. Even if the Onion comes back half as funny as they were it's going to be fabulous. Here are a few of my lesser-known favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJdP1zK15bE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJdP1zK15bE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRgRz3nSG7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRgRz3nSG7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUT8ec24anM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUT8ec24anM

- bhouston 3y agoThe Onion is still hilarious.
- cm2012 3y agoThe onion got really unfunny because they got too moralizing on their pet issues. Hopefully they can fix that.
- hinkley 3y agoWas that before or after Truth became stranger than Fiction?
- internetter 3y agothe onion has always been political commentary?
- snowwrestler 3y agoExactly! Comedians aren’t funny when they have opinions. They’re only funny when they tell jokes that are carefully calculated not to make anyone upset about anything.
- djaykay 3y agoI’d say there’s a difference between expressing an opinion, and moralizing about it. One can make great comedy with the former, while the latter sucks because the comedy is completely subjugated by the message. It’s the same difference between heavy metal and Christian metal. Same instruments, same basslines, etc., except the latter is trying to push you towards belief, and thus it’s annoying.
- saagarjha 3y ago
- khazhoux 3y agoThe funnest fun fact about The Onion is that it was started by the guy that did Jim’s Journal comic strip, back in the mid 90s.
- lapcat 3y agoThat's not a fact. Scott Dikkers didn't start The Onion, though he was a very early employee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion#Madison_(1988–2001) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onion#Madison_(1988–2001) Jim's Journal started in the late 80s, by the way.
- defrost 3y agoFact adjacent comments SLAMMED by critic on Internet!! (No beef, here, just very hard to resist in context - mea culpa for my frivolity)
- khazhoux 3y agoSorry, but it's now an internet fact: > Jim's Journal is a comic strip written and drawn by Scott Dikkers, co-founder of The Onion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim%27s_Journal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim%27s_Journal Take it up with Jimmy Wales.

- jakedata 3y agoAlso "SICKOS" I tried to explain to my wife why I bought that shirt. No comprende... (YES... HA HA HA... YES!)
- Affric 3y agoThem, after I show them the comics: “and so you bought that shirt?”
- lapcat 3y agoI think this is good news, because G/O Media websites are the worst. I was at UW-Madison when The Onion started. We had a wealth of student newspapers at the time, along with The Daily Cardinal and The Badger Herald. Scott Dikkers and Todd Hanson, writers for The Onion, also wrote great comic strips for the Cardinal (Jim's Journal and Badgers and Other Animals, respectively). Some favorite Onion headlines that I remember: https://www.theonion.com/stretch-of-highway-learns-it-was-adopted-1819586381 https://www.theonion.com/stretch-of-highway-learns-it-was-ad... https://www.theonion.com/sudanese-14-year-old-has-midlife-crisis-1819564806 https://www.theonion.com/sudanese-14-year-old-has-midlife-cr... https://www.theonion.com/christ-returns-to-nba-1819563859 https://www.theonion.com/christ-returns-to-nba-1819563859 And I can't find a link for it, but "Special Olympics T-Ball Stand Pitches Perfect Game". Incidentally, Jeremy Scahill of The Intercept was also writing for the student newspapers way back in the day, though he was obviously doing political stuff and not comedy.
- beastman82 3y agoMy favorite was "Klemke wins!" the day after Obama was elected. https://www.theonion.com/klemke-wins-1819570336 https://www.theonion.com/klemke-wins-1819570336

- roughly 3y agoThis is great news. Jim Spanfeller and G/O media are pretty well known as a chop shop for media properties - there's not a single part of the former Gawker empire that's done even half-decently under their control. > In an email to G/O Media staff that was obtained by The New York Times, Jim Spanfeller, the chief executive, said the company was “undergoing an extensive review of our portfolio with the intention of coring down to our leading sites in terms of audience and revenues.” Gawker put a bunch of famous sites together, but The Onion is the only one that I'd expect anyone who wasn't terminally online to recognize. I'm not sure how that didn't make their list of "leading sites", but I'm grateful. (Also, Jim Spanfeller is a herb.)
- 12_throw_away 3y ago(that dude is parsley, sage, rosemary _and_ thyme)
- Tanoc 3y agoThere's a bit of vicarious schadenfreude that Spanfeller's tactics were so horrific that nearly all the staff of G/O media from before 2020 abandoned ship and went on to create sites that are more successful than what the staff escaped from. Some even went on to be major journalists for massive publications, like Tyler Rogoway and Jason Schreier. The Onion has been the last holdout because it's a storied name, unlike Jalopnik or The Root, and now it's finally free.
- TheCleric 3y agoI can confirm, Jim Spanfeller is indeed an herb.
- gedy 3y agoAnyone aware of an archive for each of their stories? Not the entire website/home page archive. Would love this in markdown format for an eInk story-a-day, etc.
- ipython 3y agoI remember my first introduction to the onion was the print edition at my university. What a great publication- and they authored what has to be the best amicus brief to the Supreme Court ever. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03%20-%20Novak-Parma%20-%20Onion%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/2022...
- electrondood 3y agoI was aware of the brief, but until now had never taken the time to read it. It's probably the funniest amicus brief ever written. Thanks for linking.
- Georgelemental 2y agoThe Babylon Bee's brief in the same case is also pretty good: https://babylonbee.com/amicus-brief https://babylonbee.com/amicus-brief
- ipython 2y agoThey penned two briefs, the one you linked to was never filed with the court (it “sides” with the police). The one they filed with the court is different. You can read about it here and both are linked: https://reason.com/volokh/2022/10/28/babylon-bee-files-amicus-brief-in-support-of-parody-rights-and-doesnt-file-an-amicus-brief-opposing-it/ https://reason.com/volokh/2022/10/28/babylon-bee-files-amicu...

- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoWhat's bad about The Onion? I've always enjoyed their work.
- 1over137 2y agoI used to love it. But in recent years, they only ever seem to make fun of Republican and rarely Democrats. I'd prefer to see them shit on everyone, because they all deserve it.
- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoIn recent years one of the two parties was taken over by a reality show host blowhard with no impulse control or self awareness. It would be weird if the media didn't capitalize on that with extra attention. The worst idea of our time is that there's some sort of law or balance in the universe preventing one party from ever deserving more criticism than the other because there's at all times some sort of magical fixed equivalence or symmetry to their dysfunction. Sometimes a guy who tweets all day, pays off porn stars, and has to pay $25 million for having run a fake university is just funnier. That's Occam's razor. Pretending there's full dignity in that would be a kind of participation trophy.
- Vaslo 2y ago“The worst idea of our time is that there’s some sort of law or balance in the Universe preventing one party from ever deserving more criticism than the other.” lol - this sounds alot like the lady who said,"i cant understand how George Bush won, i dont know a single person who voted for him" Hopefully we will see more periodicals, social media, and comics taking on the far left - between the doddering old man, his dippy VP, and all the weird identity politics theyve mustered up, the jokes write themselves. The Onion cant be any worse.

- mwexler 2y agoI'll note that most of the comments refer to a different era of The Onion, known as the "Funny" era. The more recent years have been referred to as the "Meh" era, reflecting the repetitive humor, recycling of jokes, and general lack of energy. Every once in a while, I check back to see if The Onion got funny again. Still hoping. Maybe this purchase will be the catalyst, the peeling every onion needs over time.
- shombaboor 2y agoit's definitely been in its 'clapter' era, where there joke is: you should find this funny because you agree with this viewpoint. Every joke about jk rowling barely qualifies as a joke but they go viral for the sake of insulting her. It's best when it's subversize and zagged somewhat unpredictably.
