The satirical onion crosses the line of decency by denigrating Milwaukee, the Fonze, and all the is good and holy with a single article.

Too far @theonion.com! Too far.

@rasterweb that’s a great ride! I should have just joined you for it! We could have assembled the 8tb in a shared raid array.

I hope it’s stirs in us a longing to be collectively better.

“Being one himself, Trump is uniquely qualified to keep other rapists out of our country…”

I think what makes religion enticing to authoritarians and so effective for controlling other people is that its non-toxic aspects can really help make better and more […]

So, why didn’t any of you tell me about Enemy of None? Apparently this album has been out for a few years already - but it’s 🔥
