the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Some More News got a lot worse the more bits they added. Shocked that comedy writers came up with that puppet
The puppet is brilliant, but would work better if the hosts had more radical politics.
I love the puppet and I won't apologize for it. But I do agree Warmbo was at his best making fun of libs like Biden supporters during the 2020 race.
Considering that Warmbo has fallen for right wing rhetoric and is a reaction streamer, it seems like an accurate portrayal.
That puppet would party rock so hard on an actual leftist news show.
What I loved about it at the time I watched it was that with each episode he became a bit more disheveled in his mannerisms, appearance and production values. It was watching the news man be gradually jokerfied from the news he read which aligned with my own changing perception from following the news. The problem is he only played a character who grew more cynical but the show itself remained trapped in the liberal world view.
Honestly they must be getting bored of being stuck in the news broadcast format and just want to do some cracked skits sometimes
I don't know if Katy has always been part of it, but it seems like the more involved she's gotten, the worse it's gotten. I used to listen to their pod and she was just insufferable to listen to. She regurgitated that whole "calling Liz Warren a snake is misogynistic".
The puppet was introduced as a bit to illustrate how pointless one of their sponsors were, and then they just... ran with it? It was incredibly weird to see.
I enjoyed the puppet at some point, but the episodes are always pushing like 1-3 hours, and I barely have time for that, much less repetitive drawn out fucking muppet bits.
