Modern Industrial
The Onion has been absolutely fearless in their satire of the present administration, but they've now reached high art. This is incredible. 2018 in a nutshell.

@Modern_Industrial It's like they stopped giving any fucks after unionizing...probably because they can take more risks without getting fired.

@ink_slinger Good point. A lot of their previous work was more "MAD Magazine" level, whereas their recent work is absolute top-shelf satire. Its disappointing anyone would have held them back from this sort of work.

@Modern_Industrial I've read rumours that all of the more conservative writers were poached by Elon Musk for his weird "satirical news" project, too, so the politics of the remaining staff are more cohesive. If that's true, it would make sense that the publication as a whole is now more political. It's harder to do when the staff disagree behind the scenes.
