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.

That's what the article is about.
This is the only news coverage I've seen of it, and most of America doesn't even seem to know about it
The one conservative I've spoken to since this started literally played the "oh that's probably some fake AI video" card any time I mentioned the cops doing the violence...
This has been the real danger of AI video all along: not that itβs actually convincing, but that people think it could be convincing. The first step to rejecting the evidence of your eyes and ears.
I went to Newsweeks front page and it wasn't anywhere to be found. Also not on the US News front page.
Found it by searching the headline: https://www.newsweek.com/la-riot-police-shoot-protester-head-rubber-bullet-2082794
There is only so much a human mind can keep up with. Been online almost all day, hadn't seen this yet.
I know, I didn't mean people weren't paying attention to the news. It kinda seems like it's intentionally not being mentioned. It happened yesterday.
There's A LOT going on these past two days
