Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I admire the Hollywood nepo babies who changed their last names to distinguish themselves as an individual rather than linked to their famous parents.

This Quaid kid obviously did not change his last name.

That only distinguishes them in the public sphere. The people who would help them based on their parentage still know who they are. Imo it's more about PR than actually shedding their leg up
