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 [email protected]
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

I keep seeing this emoji and I'm still not quite sure what it means.
It's Kelly. He's a political(?) cartoonist for the online newspaper theonion.com . The Onion is satire, as is Kelly. Here are his cartoons.

Edit: He does snide asides as his cartoon avatar, often with wordplay. That's usually what people are invoking when using this emote.
Oh fuck. I never actually realized he was an Onion writer. I thought he was just some weird right-wing comic artist we latched on to ironically. I am a fool!
Me too, at least
It’s the self insert character on the Onion webcomics by Kelly (don’t know his first name). He does wordplay.
So basically it means acknowledging a pun?
Yeah. Or if someone is proud of a pun, they can put it alongside their own comment.
it's "thanks, Dad" but more positive
Stan Kelly, the political cartoonist persona/pseudonym of Ward Sutton.
