The Onion membership

This week I became a member/subscriber to The Onion who has recently gone through a major revamp.

It started as I listened this week's The Decoder episode where Nilay interviews The Onion new CEO and CFO which was first of all just a great, entertaining, insightful and funny interview. Strongly recommend a listen. It also pushed me to became a member! Because I've always enjoyed what The Onion does (who doesn't) and now there is a clear way to support a comedy institution. And it's "pay what you want"! Though, at or above $60 you get 12 monthly issues of The Onion’s print edition. I can't believe I am typing that in 2024, but yes, really, they are starting a print edition. And it delivers internationally.

So obviously that is what I signed up for, and I am very much looking forward to receiving my first print copy.

On that note, I will leave you with a link to one of my all-time favorite The Onion entries.

Leaders across America, and indeed the world, look to me as a visionary driving technological progress in areas from transportation, to communication, to becoming a multi-planetary species. The kinds of projects I’m involved in would blow most people’s minds. To the outside observer, I’m sure it seems like I have it all. And maybe I do. Although I’d like to make one simple request:
