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 actually think he does but he still spends all his time lecturing Twitter how economic indicators are more important. He's very much a lib pedant. He's prone to get sarcastic when he mentions numbers.

His bio

I do metro policy research, focused on fair housing, school integration, and demography.

I never googled him because I assumed he had some kind of mid-level "planning" job. I thought it was a bit curious he didn't say where he works but I assumed he didn't want to give Twitter trolls that info right in his bio. Trolls can be lazy. They might give up if a even simple google is involved.

One day I saw a tweet where he said he was a lawyer. I forget how he phrased it. Like "one of the good ones"? I thought to myself "Ah, that figures!"

Ninja edit

I knew "one of the good ones" wasn't right. It didn't sound like him. "Just the regular kind" is exactly what a lanyard-brained guy would say. And that's him.

Look I'm not an M&A lawyer, just the regular kind, but I'm pretty sure if you're the richest guy in the world you shouldn't go around handing people slips of paper that say "I will give you 44 billion dollars in three months, promise," even if it's really funny and gets you RTs

Pro school integration

Presumably slobs the knob of Joe Biden who was instrumental in killing desegregation bussing in it's cradle
