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

I'm reading Making Money to my kid before bed time right now.
Moist probably killed more than 2.338 people though
Nice! I feel like the Von Lipvig series are very kid friendly. Are you doing a Pratchett run thru, or is it just making money? Because Wyrd sisters and witche abroad and the "I shall wear midnight" series are great for kids as well.
Edit: and Diggers!
I love all his books. Vimes were my initial favorite but I feel like the Mort ones were the most compelling. Wyrd sisters are absolutely hilarious, too.
He's a little young to really pick up on any of the jokes so I'll read a paragraph and talk through it with him. He's unconcious after like 3 pages. Planning to expand out as he gets older
Mort was my favorite!
That sounds so sweet! You must have a fantastic patience.
Worth every second :)
Come to think of it, is Vetinari a socialist?
I mean Vetinari is a tyrant and a member of an aristocratic elite, but he is always scheming and working to take down the oppressive power structures. Dude works against creating an empire and then works against putting down a left-wing rebellion in his city.
If he's a socialist he's either some sort of incrementalist or accelerationist. Either way he's played brilliantly by Charles Dance
