The New York Times报道，G/O Media宣布已将讽刺新闻网站The Onion出售给一群数字媒体资深人士。The Onion成立于1988年，最初是一份每周出版的讽刺报纸，后来转变为一个网站，以其对当前事件的讽刺性报道而闻名。在过去十年的每次大规模枪击事件后，它都会重发布同一个标题：“‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens。” G/O Media的首席执行官Jim Spanfeller在一份给员工的电子邮件中提到，公司正在对其投资组合进行广泛审查，目标是专注于受众和收入领先的网站。他说G/O Media已经同意出售给“一家新的芝加哥based公司Global Tetrahedron”。 Global Tetrahedron由四位数字媒体资深人士组成，他们对The Onion和基于喜剧的内容有着深厚的热爱。新所有者承诺将The Onion的整个员工保留在芝加哥，这是交易中他们坚持的一部分。Global Tetrahedron这个名字是向The Onion工作人员所写的一本名为“Our Dumb Century”的书中的一个虚构的邪恶公司致敬。 现实生活中的Global Tetrahedron由Twilio的联合创始人兼前首席执行官Jeff Lawson拥有。首席执行官是Ben Collins，他最近还是NBC新闻的资深记者。 为了阅读更多文章，您可以订阅The Times。这篇文章出现在2024年4月26日纽约版的B2部分，标题为“G/O Media Sells Onion To Digital Media Group”。Post by: coloneltcb

lapcat: I think this is good news, because G/O Media websites are the worst.<p>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).<p>Some favorite Onion headlines that I remember:<p><a href="https://www.theonion.com/stretch-of-highway-learns-it-was-adopted-1819586381" rel="nofollow">https://www.theonion.com/stretch-of-highway-learns-it-was-ad...</a><p><a href="https://www.theonion.com/sudanese-14-year-old-has-midlife-crisis-1819564806" rel="nofollow">https://www.theonion.com/sudanese-14-year-old-has-midlife-cr...</a><p><a href="https://www.theonion.com/christ-returns-to-nba-1819563859" rel="nofollow">https://www.theonion.com/christ-returns-to-nba-1819563859</a><p>And I can't find a link for it, but "Special Olympics T-Ball Stand Pitches Perfect Game".<p>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.
lapcat: 我认为这是个好消息，因为；O媒体网站是最糟糕的<p> 《洋葱》开播时我在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校。当时我们有很多学生报，还有《红衣主教日报》和《獾先驱报》。《洋葱》的作者Scott Dikkers和Todd Hanson也为红衣主教写了很棒的连环画（分别是《吉姆杂志》和《獾与其他动物》）<p> 我记得一些我最喜欢的洋葱头条新闻：<p><a href=“https://；/；www.theonion.com//！stretch-of-highway-learns-it-was-adopted-18519586381”rel=“nofollow”>https:///；www.theonion.com/；highway-learns-it-was-ad的拉伸…</a><p><a href=“https://x2F；www.theonion.com/x2F；sudanee-14 year-old-hars-midlife-crisis18195640806”rel=“nofollow”>https://x2F/；www.theonion.com/；sudanee-14岁老人-has-midlife-cr…</a><p><a href=“https://；/；www.theonion.com//：christ-returns-to-nb-1819563859”rel=“nofollow”>https:///；www.theonion.com/；christ-returns-to-nba-119563859</a><p>我可以；我找不到它的链接，但是“；特奥T球看台投球完美比赛”<p> 顺便说一句，The Intercept的杰里米·斯卡希尔（Jeremy Scahill）很久以前也曾为学生报撰稿，尽管他显然在做政治工作，而不是喜剧。

lubujackson: I'm old enough to remember when it was a physical paper you'd get for free in Harvard Square... wish I kept some of them.<p>I particularly enjoyed the old "Point/Counterpoints" such as:<p><a href="https://www.theonion.com/u-s-out-of-my-uterus-vs-we-must-deploy-troops-to-jess-1819594277" rel="nofollow">https://www.theonion.com/u-s-out-of-my-uterus-vs-we-must-dep...</a><p><a href="https://www.theonion.com/americas-homeless-want-a-hand-up-not-a-handout-vs-i-w-1819594266" rel="nofollow">https://www.theonion.com/americas-homeless-want-a-hand-up-no...</a><p><a href="https://www.theonion.com/my-computer-totally-hates-me-vs-god-do-i-hate-that-b-1819594270" rel="nofollow">https://www.theonion.com/my-computer-totally-hates-me-vs-god...</a><p>Also, shout out to the "Oh! Mumford" comic strip that was insane absurdist meme-fuel. Might have to go to Internet Archive to unsurface those.
lubujackson: I-；我已经足够大了，还记得那是一篇物理论文的时候你；我在哈佛广场免费得到。。。希望我能保留一些<p> 我特别喜欢古老的“；点/；Counterpoints”；例如：<p><a href=“https://；/；www.theonion.com/：u-s-out-of-my-uterus-vs-we-must-deploy-troops-to-jess-1819594277”rel=“nofollow”>https:///；www.theonion.com/；u-s-out-of-my-terus-vs-we-must-dep…</a><p><a href=“https://；/；www.theonion.com/：americas-homeess-want-a-handup-not-a-handout-vs-i-wa-1819594266”rel=“nofollow”>https:///；www.theonion.com/；americas-homeess-want-a-hand-up-no…</a><p><a href=“https://；/；www.theonion.com/：my-computer-totally-hates-met-vs-god-do-i-hate-that-b1819594270”rel=“nofollow”>https:///；www.theonion.com/；我的电脑完全讨厌我和上帝</a> <p>同时，大声喊出"；哦芒福德"；漫画是疯狂的荒诞主义迷因燃料。可能必须去互联网档案馆才能揭开这些东西的面纱。
ipython: I 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. <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03 - Novak-Parma - Onion Amicus Brief.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/2022...</a>
