Dear @bencollins.bsky.social

I attended a satire writing workshop with the Needling (hi @lex.vaughn.theneedling.com!) and one of the takeaways was that underneath the absurdity of every satire headline there is a core truth being poked at. Using that framing, I tend to view the core truths as real news. 😊

Do you think we could convince Tim Onion

After you, Tasha, so you get credit for the outreach!

It could be like the inverse of old newsprint where 90% is “the funnies” and you get a half sheet of real news

This is actually a very funny idea 💡😄

I really want this unironically

I think Tim Onion needs to hire John Krasinski and bring SGN back as a segment on the site

YES

2020 was an abnormal year.
John Krasinski helped fill a void and people loved it.

2025 is already an abnormal year.
We need John Krasinski.

It’s easy to argue that it has been for decades. But the power of satire is to not be real.

wait, what part about the Onion is not real news? (:

You're telling me Kylie doesn't have gills?

“doordash order arrives in humiliatingly large bag” is absolutely the real news part of this front page
