See, the beauty of a screenshot like this is - it captures a great moment in time. It’s the moment someone should realize they are wrong. And that’s a perfect moment. It’s evocative. We’ve all been wrong before, we know what it’s like. We can feel their reaction by how we ourselves reacted in the past. Or how we wished we had.
Now, this moment could have several different outcomes: that person could admit they’re wrong and learn from it, they could panic and backtrack, they could delete their tweet or account out of shame, they could double down and be even more wrong and increase the lulz, they could come back with valid arguments and change your opinion etc. But. Depending on what your position is to the initial argument, you may not be satisfied with the outcome. You may find it annoying or roll your eyes. Of course it’s possible that you find it even better than the initial moment, but that’s not a guarantee.
So this screenshot is a tease in a way, but in other ways it’s also a complete package. It won’t have a disappointing ending. It won’t promise more of itself and then fail to deliver. You can see the screenshot, imagine the outcome you want, and scroll to the next one.
This screenshot is… enough.
Also, I’ll be fucked before I use anything musk has been associated with, I don’t wanna support that asshole.
I was going to say. Twitter five years ago was annoying enough, with its mandatory sign-ons and obnoxious tagging and tracking of accounts. Now the site is functionally unusable. If we’re not getting a screenshot, I don’t know how else we view the post.
