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

James Woods is an actor best known (afaik) for playing Hades in Disney’s Hercules. He’s also a Trump supporter. He recently tweeted that if Elon Musk removes blocking, he will be leaving because it would make Musk’s Twitter just as bad as Jack Dorsey’s, to which Musk replied, “Then delete your account”.

The woman in the cartoon is Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino. Woods also tweeted out a picture of her LinkedIn, which included the fact that she’s previously worked at the World Economic Forum. Trump supporters have opposed the WEF because of some false consciousness about how the WEF is run by liberals and isn’t mask-off enough about supporting the American Empire. Woods captioned the tweet, “Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I wonder how they got to him?”

As far as I can tell, this is the only association between Yaccarino and Woods. So Garrison is saying that Elon has hired her to do the dirty work of silencing conservatives while still publically pretending to be a free speech warrior. So he’s…. kind of right? Just not in the way he thinks. Also, he’s inadvertently positioned cat turds as equivalent to Trump supporters? I don’t know, I don’t go on Twitter.

Also, it sucks to see all the pro-Elon bots here insisting on calling it X. Don’t you know Musk is an authoritarian?

We call it xitter now (with the sh- pronunciation of x)

Fr? I thought that was Kamala. Ig Yaccarino makes more sense.

I think that’s just how Ben draws women

The one time a label would've made sense in his cartoons, because nobody knows who Yaccarino is let alone can recognize her from a caricature.

This is Videodrome erasure

Long live the new flesh!

Not even James Woods' presence can ruin that movie.
