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

LinkedIn has really created this flywheel of emotio-corpo-bullshit. Managers have to be on there competing over how empathetic they were to some sob story on the street or in an interview. But they don't do the things that will actually help their workers like get them decent pay or help them form a union or fight against layoffs or whatever else. Instead of that we get adult daycare if we're lucky and vapid made up linkedin posts by our bosses who are regularly riding our asses if we're not.

What if we decentralized a sense of belonging and purpose by putting it on the block chain

In 2021 Jones got $100m "award" from Bezos. He's done nothing publically with the money. Maybe he's going to give it to some pretend non-profit AI firm to "help".

Courage and Civility Award

The Courage and Civility Award is an annual award distributed by Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez since 2021. The award is accompanied by $100 million for the receiver of the award, to distribute to other non-profit organizations. Each award comes with a ten-year window in which the funds have to be distributed.

Van Jones gave a speech as a pro-Israel rally last November. He said we need to stop bombing the children of Gaza and the crowd booed him and started chanting "no ceasefire". This guy does not know his audience.

Just five more pumps. Maybe ten. Then we can get water out of this dry well.

I feel nostalgia for this post. There was a time when this site had 1 at least 1 Adam Johnson post a day
