@joshsutphin@wandering.shop When the buyout was announced my reaction was "The Onion has been bought out by people who actually like and understand it." It's a delight every month to see the big white envelope in my mailbox.

@joshsutphin@wandering.shop what a lovely piece. I wish we-as-society normalized having companies that have as a goal "do a neat thing in a way that allows the people doing the thing to live normal, decent lives". Not accumulate more and more wealth, just: do a neat thing. Have a liveable wage.

@joshsutphin@wandering.shop something i greatly value is the many years my work ran as a small company as a reference point for how that way of doing things absolutely can work (and profitably!)

@joshsutphin@wandering.shop My mom had a copy of an Onion omnibus at home when I was a kid. Looking back, I learned a lot about critical thinking and media literacy from reading The Onion. Same goes with Mad Magazine.

@joshsutphin@wandering.shop we are approaching the farmer’s market era of tech and I ain’t sad about it.

@joshsutphin@wandering.shop my first good tech job was at a small ISP where my manager was previously a managing editor(?) at The Onion. Dude was great to work for, very funny too.

@joshsutphin@wandering.shop This popped for me, RE business, and in my case software development: "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."
