Tim Onion: Hi! The Onion is bringing back our Writing Fellowship. The fellowship has produced some of the biggest names in comedy, at The Onion and elsewhere. It was a casualty private equity.

Hi! The Onion is bringing back our Writing Fellowship. The fellowship has produced some of the biggest names in comedy, at The Onion and elsewhere. It was a casualty private equity. We are reviving it. The program is six months long and includes health insurance. jobs.gusto.com/postings/the...

I am VERY excited about bringing back the writing fellowship. It’s important for The Onion to have a writers room with new and weird ideas, and it’s important to maintain a pipeline of great comedy writers for the world in general. It's a good job. Please apply. jobs.gusto.com/postings/the...

(The word "of" was also a casualty of private equity, apparently. We are not yet hiring a copyeditor of my typo'd-out skeets, unfortunately.)

this is why they need a union

How much would the said skeet typo-copyeditor position pay?

private equity: "as we still own the rights to the word 'of' you are now contractually obligated to replace any of use of the word with 'using a blowtorch to' instead"

Please tell me that in official emails at the Onion, it's explicitly written like "post on Facebook, tweet on Twitter/X, skeet on Bluesky"

Private equity replaced prepositions with preposterousness.

Killing me that this can’t be done remotely Tim :(

I'm not a comedy writer, but if you guys need any presentation or desktop publishing work, hit me up. 😉 So proud to have The Onion being brought back to glory here in Chicago!

This is amazing, Tim Onion. I applaud you.

In office only. Bummer

//Candidates must be located in, or willing to relocate to, Chicago, IL// Oh well. 🙃

Would The Onion sponsor a US work visa?

LOL! "The Onion" followed me on XTwitter & took at least 3 of my posts w/o payment. I told them to knock it off & they went away.

taking a leave of absence from law to pursue my dream (posting)

Do what you love and the money will follow. (LOL)

I would support you for this sir

Ben I’m not sure if you’re aware but the Supreme Court just ruled that we are not allowed to have nice things in 2024. You need to stop what you’re doing. It’s against the law.

In a 12 to -1 decision comedy was found to be not legal

kinda tempted tbh

Saves money on that individual health plan and sparks new neurons!

Tim, could you please explain why this isn't remote, especially given the tight turn around between the app deadline and start? But why isn't it remote because it's 2024 and plenty of outlets are remote for fellowships?

*Ben, I know.

Ben you're really making me question this whole "I can't move my family to Chicago" thing

Did you all acquire the rights to any of the "A.V. Club" stuff? The Onion's A.V. Undercover series was incredible and has been missing from YouTube for unexplained reasons for a long time. People would love its return. If you all don't have the rights, you should buy A.V. Club for like $5.

Nevermind. I missed that A.V. Club just announced they are bringing it back. It's a shame you all didn't acquire it as well. It was my favorite part of The Onion (even though it's obviously not its core product). www.avclub.com/av-undercove...

Help us choose the songs for A.V. Undercover season 9!www.avclub.com We're bringing back The A.V. Club's most beloved video series

Paste media already bought the AV Club a couple months back, and is bringing back AV Undercover.

I just saw that, right after I posted. I'm glad A.V. Undercover is making a return.

fwiw I see you doing this stuff and fighting the good fight and it kicks ass. I didn't expect you to take this turn in your career, but I'm glad you did and I wish you a ton of success.

I'll re-up my standing offer that you don't pay me and I don't write anything for you but I'm still on the masthead and you can just publish anything you want under my name, which is I assume how it works with Pamela Paul

hello please give me the job to be funny i will show you an example of being funny hello i am sid i have depression i bought new shampoo it said no more tears but i still have depression thanks for reading mr The Onion

@lolennui.bsky.social

beat me to it

👆 @cheatlines.co‼️

You are literally too kind

Not at all! - It's up your particular alley - It sounds fun & enriching (hopefully) - It's only six months - You're a hell of a writer and I selfishly want to read more of your work.

@purplecar.bsky.social ^^

I’m gonna apply just for shits and giggles.

You're smart and funny and you have a perspective they probably don't see a lot of. Plus you're a good writer. You definitely should apply. :)

The fact that health insurance is a selling point of this program says a lot x.x

Would love to try my hand but a move to chicago is unfortunately out of the question with my health and disability issues. good luck to those going for the fellowship.

❤️🤓

I’m very funny. Ask anyone who knows me. I would like to apply.

oh i thought i spotted a typo and thought just move on nobody likes a typo spotter and then i read “Ability to identify weakness in others’ written pieces and give tactful notes to help them improve” and had to consider it all over again only to arrive at the same conclusion, false alarm, no comment

I’d apply except no chance I’m living in Chicago. I hope you post again when it’s remote-work, like most desirable jobs nowadays.
