@duncan_colorado @buddhistwisdom7@eventualforever It was one goofball mouthing off about something he doesn't understand at all. Loads of people QT'd or subtweeted him making it seem like there's a 'discourse' when it's really just one nobody with 2k followers.
@straczynski Hello Mr. Straczynski. I hope you're well. I have a very important question requiring confirmation. In Confessions and Lamentations does the character credited as 'Doctor' played by Rosie Malek-Yonan utter the line 'we just got the results of the Pak'ma'rautopsy' ?
@olivesagan Nowadays I just default to 'dogpiling/mass shaming is always wrong. Regardless of whatever offence sparked it. The internet is incapable of proportionate justice and the idea of social media apps perpetuating themselves by encouraging mass harassment is terrifying.
@olivesagan I don't even condone dogpiling on people who 'deserve it'. The West Elm Caleb thing radicalized me when I learnt the app itself engineered the mass harassment campaign (tiktok recommended Caleb content to specific women in NY because they shared the same contacts).
@tabbmania@BJBethelTweets Mike twice in one year has had meltdowns over journalists doing their jobs correctly. The 1st time was when he raged at Dave for (accurately) reporting that Mike was denied access to a presser. The 2nd was when he ranted at Lucas Charpiot for asking HHH an important question.
@myelessar I love the three of them putting aside the bigger quest of taking the ring to Mordor, in order to save Merry and Pippin, simply because it's the right thing to do.
@NMamatas The last one happened in my town. A local nutcase who dabbles as a historian managed to get his crappy book in the biggest store here. But he just couldn't behave himself and eventually it was taken off the shelf. He's been ranting to the local media about it. Own worst enemy.
@RonwellQDobbs@BobOblaw504@JasonKPargin I didn't blame anyone for anything and there are no rules to humour, only thing that matters is if you laugh. Bait jokes can be shit or they can be good. This has a ton of effort put into it and a clever manner of framing that once I saw the framing caused me to laugh.
@BobOblaw504@RonwellQDobbs@JasonKPargin I also took the bait at first and then I realized it's a piss take of a web3 bro. I hadn't even taken proper notice of how terrible the video is and then once I got the bit I started giggling at the guy calling it 'seamless'.
@puhhhleeze@arvofart You cannot decry 'beating people with a morality cudgel' minutes after writing 'The backlash is what it is because Miami Vice is a beloved copaganda movie filled to the brim with hyper-masculinity and objectification, a straight manβs magnum opus'. Are you f'ing kidding me?
@deotrumus@BackupHangman There is only one time, press conferences. That's the only time you will ever have access to John Cena and none of those journalists can be sure they'll ever have access again. And apart from HHH, Cena was the closest person in WWE to Vince. He's the absolute right guy to ask.
@deotrumus@BackupHangman If journalists acted like this the very few amount of tough questions that get asked at these pressers would never get asked at all. Nobody wants to answer tough questions but sometimes when people deflect they let a bit of truth slip out. That's why you ask.
