The American flag cake article digs deep. It's a goofy Onion article yeah, but it's also so so good at expressing that sense of trying to be okay in the face of huge societal helplessness. It's a pointless act but wtf else is she supposed to do? I've thought about it a lot over the years

My favorite was the first edition after 9/11, with Britney Spears wrapped in a cobra and "A Shattered Nation Longs To Care About Stupid Bullshit Again".
I belly-laughed for a long time.

For decades the Onion has had far better analysis than any legacy media outlet.
