I've noticed a distinct sharpening of the satire at The Onion since it changed hands.

I didnt know the onion got new management but seems like its working.

It got bought by a group of super fans who specifically formed a company just to buy it and return it to its former glory. They even plan to bring back ONN!
Edit: the company the super fans formed is called Global Tetrahedron Corp, which long-time The Onion fans will recognize as the (now formerly) fictional global megacorp featured in countless past articles.

Management has layers. It’s complicated.

I can't tell if the Onion gets their ideas from the stuff DeSantis does or if DeSantis gets his ideas from reading the Onion.

In my opinion, the funniest thing about the phrasing of the headline:
It would just straight up make it illegal to be a woman of color in Florida, which might be the republican goal irl

Now you're getting it

No, they're allowed to be of colour. They just need to produce white sons somehow.

Jesus, I almost ate that onion. For a moment, the headline shocked me, but wasn't that unbelievable... and that, in and of itself, is terrifying

Sounds exactly like something they would do.

Don't give the Republicands anyy more ideas. DeSantis probably reads The Onion as a source of inspiration.
On the other hand, The Onion has perfectly summarized GOP ideas on this topic...

To be fair, I'd read that and assume it was a scam. You need just the right mix of not quite illiterate but gullible enough to call a random number and hand your details over to someone promising money, and I feel Nigerian princes and widows just trying to get their money out of the country and will cut be on for a share if I help have that market cornered.

Alabama has the same law but they must simultaneously be half-brothers

And the onion is back out ahead of the curve (I hope)

As I’m sure pudding fingers will be inspired to make this into an actual law, and as I’m sure he doesn’t know what “ex post facto” means, I look forward to seeing this applied to my over-22-year-old childless sister.

It took me a minute to figure out who pudding fingers was. There are so many doughy politicians.

Lab grown meat is banned but eating babies is now legal. Florida is crazy.
