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.

- 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.

Do you want to expand on that statement?
As a commenter in a different post put it: Remember when Brian Thompson was killed and UnitedHealthcare suddenly dissolved?
Peak storytelling.
Come to think of it, this is a wonderful idea...no assassinations needed.
If you know the TV series "Billionaires' Bunker", why not take inspiration from that? Rip them off buildinga fake nuclear shelter, create a fake narative and lock them up for good.
Have you guys seen Back to the Future?
could we have one thread where we don't talk about President Tannen please
Sorry.

Plot Twist: Skynet was actually designed to kill the richest people alive, but the problem was once they died, there's another set of "richest people alive"... so that left Skynet only one option... it takes hearts of steel to make such an important decision...
or, designed to only kill the current richest alive, but due to being bags of meat, cannot be reliably tracked to exact locations and thus anywhere they could be gets nuked...
just turns out that Skynet has determined that anywhere humans exist, a rich person could be hiding amongst them.
