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

MODERATORS
I read somewhere that he was adamant that 451 was about the dangers of TV (lol) and censorship wasn't even what he had in mind. Like, the books were being burned not because gubment bad, but Video Killed the Literary Star.
At one stage, apparently, he was giving a lecture at UCLA, mentioned 451 was about TV being bad, was interrupted by a student who said Bradbury was, in fact, wrong about the book he wrote (in a weird death of the author way) and he stormed out.

Lol this is the most boomer shit.
He had some thoughts about the internet as well.
This man is * science fiction* writer that was iffy about the prevalence of radio, despised the advance of television and absolutely against the very idea of the internet. A science fiction writer that absolutely hates every single new innovation in science is a good bit.
