    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.

          I can see some merit to making CEOs change their legal last name to whatever company they’re the head of.

          Tim Boeing would be a lot more noticable in the public world.

          To prevent private equity from doing their shell company nonsense to hide accountability, just double-barrel (n many times) all the companies together in the last name.

            This is very funny applied to all businesses. “Hi, I’m John Smith and Son’s and Son’s, and this is my son, John Smith and Son’s and Son’s Jr., at least until he takes over the family business.”
