What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business? The Onionβs process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday. The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times. Thatβs why I donβt touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work theyβre already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and thatβs working. You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step. If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope itβs that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People donβt actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company.
Also talked about The Onion being inefficient on purpose.

#Motorcycle industry organizations have been slow to address a proposal to sell off millions of acres of land owned by the U.S. government, but now some are coming out in opposition to the plan, worried that it could limit access to off-road riding areas. www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Motorcycle odometer showing 123,456.7 miles.
Anybody want to play odometer poker? Yes, that's a seven-digit straight as my old Speed Triple reached another interesting number yesterday. (And yes, that's a homemade 1 on the left, added long ago for the sake of accuracy.)
