Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.

🚀Aerospace engineer Dr. Mary Baker died #OTD in 2021. If you've ever marveled at photos from Mars, you're looking at her legacy. A master of structural dynamics, she directly influenced the design & testing of NASA’s Curiosity & Perseverance Mars rovers & the Internat'l Space Station. #WomenInSTEM

Groundbreaking for Trump's arch will begin soon, Burgum says - POLITICO When did this get approved and by whom? Are we really just standing by and letting this happen? The final straw should have been his cutting down the weeping willows at the JFK Memorial. ENOUGH! What are our options here?

It’s an honor to have earned the endorsement from my union brothers and sisters at the @afacwa.org, representing over 50,000 flight attendants. In Trump’s broken economy, working people are putting in more hours for less pay. It’s time we brought some working-class power to Washington.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
