Tim Onion

Wait, the CEO of The Onion goes by “Tim Onion” on Bluesky? My word, this whole thing just keeps getting funnier.

"Tim Onion" is so clever due to it's visual resemblance of "The Onion".

"Tim" and "The" have the same visual profile (width/ height distribution and curved letters), so if you squint your eyes, they look very similar.

It's probably a reference to when Trump called Tim Cook, Tim Apple by accident

Crap DOUBLE WAIT I'm now realizing Tim Apple wasn't a real guy's name, dammit RIP my other comment

No, no it made your other comment funnier

Haha thanks for making me laugh. If it helps, it took me years to recognize that Chipotle didn’t have the chipotle flavor Tabasco simply because it tastes good.
