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

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.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 3 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.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

The ol redundant onion.
