A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.

Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.

You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Absolutely no NSFL content.

Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

It's "quite easy to understand" because that's how the Dunning–Kruger effect works: the less you know, the more simplistic your understanding of a system, and the easier it is to confidently make bullshit claims and pretend you know what you're talking about.

it’s nice that you know the names of two renowned psychologists.

The painfully unearned smarm almost masks the way you have no idea how any of this works and just want to manufacture a reason to be mad at the NYT's coverage of the Middle East – coverage that already has a million provable things to be mad at (of which that link is just a small sample). You're trying to perform alchemy in a fucking gold mine, and it's baffling.

"Please explain it to me. Not the actual thing we're talking about, because I actually don't care to consider why I might be wrong, but about this batshit strawman argument I created."

Checking off all the boxes. If you want to talk to someone who's whatever you tell them they are, then fuck off to ChatGPT, you clown.

So, to recap, this thread started with a passive-aggressive accusation, you backed it up with another passive-aggressive comment, somebody responded to you, and then you got mad at them for being angry about the wrong thing (without, y'know, actually saying what they should be mad about!)

Why not just state your opinion? Why all this beating around the bush?
