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 would put all of my money on betting that this idiot lives somewhere that has extremely mild weather and has not experienced wet bulb conditions in her entire life

Went to Stanford, edited at the Orange County Register before moving to the Wall Street Journal.

She also authored an op ed for the WSJ 'asking' if vaccines were causing new COVID variants, and has been on panels with conservatives discussing the future of conservatism.

So she's a privileged toadie whose most pressing personal issue has probably been bitching about how everyone hates conservatives.

If heat waves were as deadly as the press proclaims, Homo sapiens couldn’t have survived thousands of years without air conditioning.

Climate change obssessers acting like it's the hottest month in 120,000 years or something.

Also kind of a weird because the species is 300,000 years old, not 9,999 or less as "thousands" suggests. Gotta appeal to those Young Earth creationists, I guess?

I'm calling it, infinite gulag for every journalist in the west, sorry niche socialist paper journalists you will be a necessary sacrifice to wipe these ghouls off the internet and airwaves

To be fair, most of those "niche socialist papers" are pika-pickaxe , so it's not a huge loss anyway.
