When a bunch of Christians are putting out the best subversive humor, there's a real problem with the mainstream. (Actually, Jeff Maurer is #1; the Bee is second...)
Think you’re using TikTok wrong. I’m new to it, no personal presence, but it either reads my mind or chooses to never feed me shite. @drhueyli alone is some of the best political commentary I’ve ever heard. High rec.
Funnily enough, I prefer reading the transcripts, so I think when it comes to print vs audio/video, you may have a point! They might need to work on figuring out names, though “TC dubs” came through just fine.
My interpretation is that the writers at The Onion are just *so over* mentioning what happened to Jews on 10/7, as if it wasn’t relevant to <gesticulates at all this>
It really wasn’t always this way: I did a search on “Hamas” at The Onion, and here’s the results:
You see this huge gap between 2014 and 2021, but the Before Times ones cover a lot of ground! My favorite is “Hamas Calls For ‘Giant Summit’ With All Israelis”
For comparison, do a search on The Babylon Bee (they don’t keep the search term in the URL; sorry, I can’t do everything for you!). Definitely more focused on the “Hamas kills people” side of things.
From the Encyclopedia Britannoica, "The deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race." Pretty clear this is the goal, and the Israelis are making a damned good start of it. I was stunned to hear from a female settler lived in the (illegal) occupied territory these words: "First we get the hostages back. Then we kill them all." Pretty clear and to the point. The Israelis have so blinded themselves to what they do that they cannot see the glaring parallels between themselves herding the Palestinians into ghettos and European Jews being herded into ghettos 80 years ago. Nazis referred to the Jews as subhuman: Israeli government officials refer to the Palestinians as animals. 10 Palestinians are slaughtered for every Israeli killed, and they view this as proportionate. FYI I am Jewish myself: my family came from eastern Poland/ western Ukraine during the pogroms. But no one possessed of a basic knowledge of history and a human heart can deny what is happening here. BTW, I am not on Tiktok, and barely on Twitter. Usually enjoy your podcast, but this hit a nerve.
Thank you for this! I was addicted to The Onion in the late 90s and the recent headlines have made me feel like I was going insane.
Sad to say, but try The Babylon Bee...

You didn’t even include the Onion headline that pissed me off the most: https://www.theonion.com/dying-gazans-criticized-for-not-using-last-words-to-con-1850925657

The time Ty Cobb ate a baby!
Yes, The Onion is dumb and wrong now. And yes, there were plans for a mosque at Ground Zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park51
This is two weeks now that the audio posts aren't in the audio tab, messing with the rss for audio only
Sorry — fixed. I’ll keep an eye on that in the future.
