It’s kind of incredible that The Onion’s aiming to surpass the Washington Post in print circulation but I’m here for it.
Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.
We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.
Our members keep getting papers.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Boards Chair here - before our BOT passed a motion affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti, I received emails from parents and teachers urging the board on.
The union never said a word.
Amazing that reaffirming a commitment to Te Tiriti is viewed as "anti-govt" (his words)

No, sorry, I mean, fucking Christ, how many nurses is that we could have kept in ANZ? How many radiologists/radiographers is it? Enough to clear the eight-month wait list for a basic CT?
As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

Back on the murder mystery beat 🤙
@rianjohnson.bsky.social's back-to-basics approach in #WakeUpDeadMan is the moral of the new film in action, writes @amamelia.bsky.social: "Clarity, trust, hard work, and genuine emotion beat pompous pageantry six out of seven days of the week"
Rian Johnson goes back to the foundations of the genre in new Knives Out
It’s almost astonishing how Wake Up Dead Man totally eschews the flashy genre switch-ups and narrative tricks so core to the first two films.

#nzpol Is the government so broke that it will allow "at least three years of ageing Interislander ferries plying the notorious stretch of water with no viable rescue vessel if things go wrong"? thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... 1/3
Cook Strait rescue tug going with no replacement
Transport Minister Chris Bishop blames “a significant escalation in costs and little clear benefit” for calling it quits on a replacement.
