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 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Seems harmless enough. There’s room for injury here but that can happen every time you get into a vehicle. Safer than a Boeing right now anyway.

Way back in college, 90s, a graduating class or two ahead of me, there was a Guerrilla Theatre of the Absurd. At a time when Martin Luther King Jr Blvd was forever in the poorest most dangerous part of a city (see: Chris Rock, for more detail), they spearheaded a campaign where they redecorated the city overnight by artfully changing all road signs, including freeway signs, to change the main road downtown to MLK Blvd instead. The freeway signs looked legit, reflective paint and everything. Spearhead of the act “of vandalism”was unofficially slipped cash by the dean of the college as a graduation gift, not reprimanded.

Well done activism isn’t a bad thing. Maybe she’s practicing up. And recycling is usually a good thing.

I’m not seeing anyone getting hurt here, so, whatever. High odds these two break up.
