shit that looks like an onion article but isn't

At a taping of The Hollywood Reporter’s Actors Roundtable show, Mr. Boyega, who plays Finn in the movie, confirmed that the Prince William and Prince Harry will play Stormtroopers in a scene alongside him.

Marginal, mostly for the copyeditor channeling their inner Beavis:

People: Surgery Gives 1-Month-Old Kitten the Anus She Desperately Needed

Cluck the 1-month-old kitten will no longer be the butt of anyone’s jokes.

The rescue cat was born with an Imperforate Anus, a birth defect which caused her to come into this world sans butthole. As we know, everyone poops, so everyone needs an anus.

But what might have been hardest for me to read was this line: “You guys are all the fucking same.”

Because that must be a terrible thing for you to have come to believe. A belief that I can actually completely understand, given the recent climate.

But I’m wondering there’s a chance I can help change your mind–even just a little bit. If nothing else, at least try to provide you with an evening that makes you feel valued, appreciated and respected.

Oh that fucking website, everything they publish seems to be in this weird needy doesn't-get-it "I'm a nice guy!" mode.

This is a guy who lived in the same Chinese city as me, a couple of years after I left, so I probably know some of the people he's talking about, and his point of view is really very deeply odd - https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/white-man-chinese-women-a-story-of-prostitution-romance-and-celibacy/

Okay, seriously, down to the photo, how is this NOT an Onion story?

“I don’t know when the wretched thing was taken,” she said, adding, “I don’t mind it being ambiguous.”

there is a comment on that article that might be Lefsetz under an alias

red alert, we have a red alert

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/13/style/dads-are-cool.html

That hot “retired millennial” look
“This is a logical extension or evolution of normcore,” said Brian Trunzo, the senior men’s wear editor at the trend forecasting firm WGSN. He calls the look “retired millennial.” “There’s something uniquely American about it, and very real, red-blooded man, like ‘I’m gonna wear a baggy plaid shirt with relaxed khakis because I’m chilling and I’m comfortable in my manhood.’”

Emily Segal, a founder of the design and technology think tank Nemesis Global and a former member of K-Hole, the trend forecasting group that helped identify the normcore phenomenon, has a more expansive view of the movement.

“I don’t think it just has to do with being a dad,” Ms. Segal said. “What we call dad style is stuff that is self-consciously unsexy, or even un-self-consciously unsexy.”

“Brands are trying produce mystery in this overexposed atmosphere,” Ms. Segal added. “They’re doing it by either picking something extremely random or something extremely obvious. Dad style is both.”

is now the time to open up a boutique of $1500+ windbreakers from the 90s, procured from goodwills across the midwest for $3 each

That is basically how I dress, for roughly 10% of the price.

In my younger days I would have maybe been happy to be ahead of the curve, now I just feel embarrassed for everyone involved, including myself for the minuscule bit of influence I might have had on this trend

This is wrong and nobody should be happy about it.
