Had to look it up, here's the link: https://theonion.com/issue-37-34-the-september-11th-issue-1828969352/

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did they publish anything within the 9/11 week?

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

On the wayback machine, for 2001-09-12, they have this:

In light of recent events, The Onion is not publishing new material this week.

Trump pronouncing Harris wrong.

But does anyone know what her last name is?

They’re on fire lately.

Pleasantly one of the few examples of a buyout actually improving a company.

[–] Chump@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

I think it was more that they unionized when Elon started poaching their talent, no?

by Pretending He Shot in Ear Again

It's sad that The Onion has had to let all their proofreaders go.

It’s headline grammar. It’s deliberate

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 months ago

That doesn't sound like headline grammar to me. You wouldn't introduce confusion about who is doing the shooting on purpose, I don't think.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Do you have any other examples of it being used this way? "By Pretending Shot In Ear Again" is what I would have expected.
