So, The Onion filed an amicus brief before the Supreme Court in defense of parody under the First Amendment… and it’s exactly what you’d expect.

@estherschindler The Onion went after SCOTUS savagely the day after the takedown of Roe. I'll be curious to see how SCOTUS responds now.
@yadayadayada Read that brief. It is brilliant.
@estherschindler "First, the obvious: The Onion’s business model was
threatened. This was only the latest occasion on which
the absurdity of actual events managed to eclipse what
The Onion’s staff could make up. Much more of this,
and the front page of The Onion would be indistinguishable from The New York Times."
Outstanding...
