Tim Onion

Wait, the CEO of The Onion goes by “Tim Onion” on Bluesky? My word, this whole thing just keeps getting funnier.

"Tim Onion" is so clever due to it's visual resemblance of "The Onion".

"Tim" and "The" have the same visual profile (width/ height distribution and curved letters), so if you squint your eyes, they look very similar.

It's probably a reference to when Trump called Tim Cook, Tim Apple by accident

Yeah, there’s no probably about it. That’s just the joke.

Since we are explaining things: an onion, like an apple is a fruit.
