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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

He worked himself into a shoot

Did he have a stroke typing that or am I out of the loop with wrestling lingo and it makes sense to people?

Sounds like he's already qualified for a run at the White House.

McDonnell/Hogan 2028!

Hopefully they both will be by then. And Donnie.

At this point t, literally everyone is qualified.

Little of column A and little of column B.

The phrase is "Don't work yourself into a shoot"

"Work" is part of the show. "Shoot" is not part of the show.

It's why you might hear about "shoot fighting" in relation to MMA, especially on the Japanese side. Because MMA was born from pro wrestling.

But the term "Don't work yourself into a shoot". Basically means, don't get so wrapped up in how a story is presented that you believe the story is "legit". If your opponent is cutting a promo and calls you a bastard, he's not legitimately calling you a bastard.
