I tried to respond to this, but the one, the most cutting Onion, actually makes you fucking cry like a goddamned onion Onion headline ... I just couldn't do it.
What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

NGOs are fundamentally libertarian solution to problems that should usually be handled by large, impersonal government agencies mostly staffed by people who are competent but don't "care" *too* much.

One of my former neighbors has passed.
It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Sometimes I have to remind myself that everything my dog knows about the world she has had to learn in 18mos from me, a few other humans, and a handful of dogs.
