The Onionis an American digital media company and newspaper organization that publishes satirical articles on international, national, and local news. The company is based in Chicago but originated as a weekly print publication on August 29, 1988, in Madison, Wisconsin.[1] The Onion began publishing online in early 1996. In 2007, they began publishing satirical news audio and video online as the Onion News Network. In 2013, The Onion stopped publishing its print edition and launched Onion Labs, an advertising agency.[2][3] The Onion was then acquired three times, first by Univision in 2016, which later merged The Onion and its several other publications into those of Gizmodo Media Group.[4] This unit was sold in 2019 to Great Hill Partners, forming a new company named G/O Media.[5]G/O Media then sold The Onion in April 2024 to Global Tetrahedron, a firm newly created by former Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson, which revived the print edition in August that year.[6][7]

The Onion's articles cover real and fictional current events, parodying the tone and format of traditional news organizations with stories, editorials, and street interviews using a traditional news website layout and an editorial voice modeled after that of the Associated Press. The publication's humor often depends on presenting mundane, everyday events as newsworthy, surreal, or alarming, such as "Rotation Of Earth Plunges Entire North American Continent Into Darkness".[8] In 1999, comedian Bob Odenkirk praised the publication as "the best comedy writing in the country".[9]

The Onion previously ran The A.V. Club, a non-satirical entertainment and pop culture publication founded in 1993 that contains interviews and reviews of newly released media and other weekly features, and ClickHole, a satirical website founded in 2014 which parodies clickbait websites. ClickHole was acquired by Cards Against Humanity in February 2020 while The A.V. Club was acquired by Paste Magazine in March 2024.[10][11]

In November 2024, through a bankruptcy auction, The Onion purchased InfoWars, a conspiratorial far-right news website founded by Alex Jones, with the intent of turning the site into a parody of Jones's conspiracy theories. The purchase was sanctioned by families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, who had successfully sued Jones for defamation.

Jeff Lawson is a left-of center American entrepreneur, billionaire, and philanthropist notable for founding Twilio, a digital communication support services company.

Background

In middle school,Jeff Lawson began one of his first businesses, making and editing videos of bar mitzvahs, which reportedly generated around $5,000 of income by the time he graduated from high school. 1 Later, while an undergraduate, Lawson took hiatuses totaling four years from his undergraduate program to pursue various entrepreneurial ventures. For instance, he founded Versity.com, a cold storage data company, in August 1998; in April 2000, StubHub, a ticket resale company; and in September 2000, Nine Star, a multi-channel retailer of skate, surf, and snow sporting equipment. 2

After finishing his undergraduate program, Lawson was employed at Amazon and worked on the development of the Amazon Web Services platform, which offers digital infrastructure services to websites. 3

Twilio

In 2008, Lawson left Amazon and cofounded Twilio with Evan Cooke John Wolthius in San Francisco. Largely, the company develops and provides programmable communication tools for making and receiving phone calls, texts, and other forms of communications. 4

On June 23 2016, the company filed for its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the name, TWLO. 5 Notable companies which use Twilio to support their own platforms include the rental company Airbnb, which uses the service to support an in-app text message system, as well as the streaming service, Hulu, which uses the service to support a call center. 6

Philanthropy

On April 28 2019, Jeff Lawson and his wife Erica made a pledge in association with the Giving Pledge, a philanthropic campaign led by billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to encourage wealthy individuals to give away a majority of their wealth over the course of their lifetimes. In the letter accompanying their pledge the couple cite their alignment with Enlightenment ideals, make a lengthy acknowledgement of their “privilege” (though also noting their joint descent from refugees), and express their admiration for the philanthropic work of Freada and Mitch Kapor; Ron and Gayle Conway; Lynn and Marc Benioff; and Melinda and Bill Gates. 7

Three days after an announcement of a 68 percent rise in its third quarter earnings on November 6, 2018, Lawson announced that Twilio would be making a $1 million commitment to assist the homeless in San Francisco, California, through Twilio.org, the company’s charitable arm. 8 Organizations supported by Twilio.org through its “Impact Fund” include Trans Lifeline, a transgender issues and support organization; Thorn, an organization which develops technology intended to stymie the sexual abuse of children; the Steve Fund, a mental health campus-focused organization intended to assist minority students; Refugees United (also styled REFUNITE), a refugee assistance organization; and the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, an organization which helps parents with drug-addicted children.

In geometry, a tetrahedron (pl.: tetrahedra or tetrahedrons), also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertices. The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra.[1]

The tetrahedron is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a Euclidean simplex, and may thus also be called a 3-simplex.

Thetetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, which is a polyhedron with a flat polygon base and triangular faces connecting the base to a common point. In the case of a tetrahedron, the base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base), so a tetrahedron is also known as a "triangular pyramid".

Like all convex polyhedra, a tetrahedron can be folded from a single sheet of paper. It has two such nets.[1]

For any tetrahedron there exists a sphere (called the circumsphere) on which all four vertices lie, and another sphere (the insphere) tangent to the tetrahedron's faces.[2]
