    Keep saying that Onion/Beaverton headlines are becoming more believable than actual headlines. A week or two ago is was looking through my feed while making coffee, and saw a Beaverton post. Something along the lines of US military and Trump advisors accidentally add Ian Hanomansing to Signal group discussing invasion plans.

    My sleep addled brain spent nearly 5 minutes in existential crisis trying to remember if the Beaverton was satire. In the end I had to open their About page to reassure myself…I don’t like it…
    I read satire to laugh, not to worry that they learned from their mistakes and avoided adding Ian Hanomansing to the group chat so we don’t have some forewarning…
