Today, June 30, 2026 Ben Collins, the CEO of @theonion , posted this on Bsky.

"Tim Onion has died."

Tim Onion is what Collins called himself when posting about The Onion.

I believe this is related to the fact that in 3 days, The Onion will assume control of Alex Jones' INFOWars. So I made a graphic about it.

Thank you Ben & #TheOnion writing team. I look forward to laughter & joy coming out of #InfoWars instead of the lies & hate of #AlexJones.
