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

nothing quite speaks to my material concerns like Broadway level talent recording a lyrical miracle show tune about voting.

stg, I get how powerful media is as an influence, but so much effort by media seems oriented to performing mostly for itself, like someone wanking in front of a mirror. like we're all trapped in an infinitely long director's cut of Oceans 15 with a bunch of symmetrical people with private chefs and personal trainers taking turns winking at a camera that isn't hooked up to anything.

I lasted just ten seconds with it on mute before cringing out. Couldn't imagine it with sound

Needs a CW for self-harm

There’s something about the use of hip hop here, especially in that dorky Lin Manuel Miranda cadence, that harkens back to an early 90’s PSA using the worst, no-flow hip hop to teach the kids it’s cool and dope to not litter, yo.

Only time that flow works is the super bowl shuffle.

Thanks for the warning. If I had seen this unprompted, I might show up on the news.

I like the fact that it's so far down the lineup (couldn't afford lin?) that they dropped their main gimmick of using a POC for a stuffy white guy/consider redheads as close enough.
