I had a dream where Xi flipped me off. Here's an article about what that might mean, how China could apologise. I am on track for a Pulitzer.

Literally a South Park bit:

"Wow, you've actually seen people eating eachorther?!"

"No, Tom, we not actually seen it... we're just reporting it."

Here's a thing we think could have possibly happened somewhere. We are serious news reporters.

"Reportedly" means "I'm super extra lying," in the same way "but at what cost?" means "I'm actually saying one true thing this time"

Not exactly the same, but I'm reminded of an old Onion video Breaking News: Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere

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
