I've spoken before about what I think sub verse could be. I'd be all talk if I didn't offer.
https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/997465862243315713 'Most people if they were actually being taken out of context would find a different way of saying things after the first 100 times, particularly when they are president. So it’s a bit clever to do “boy the media botched this again!”
fucking wow! Hope @Timcast sees this.
I thought Subverse would be a place where local journalists would be able to share their coverage. For me as a local in Sweden, it´s hard to get a following, so I quit. Maybe I´ll start again once we get closer to the elecition but I don´t find it interessting when noone cares about my coverage anyway 😦
"Googles leaked video on mass behaviour modification"
I see local coverage and cooperation. Travel and footage are major competing expenses for a news organization. An alliance of independent journalists activated as needed could make a difference for independent journalism.
It would. Masses of sleeper cells. Only thing is I live at the arse end of the middle of nowhere, the only thing interesting thing thats happened here in the last year is a combine getting wrapped up power cables, knocking the power out for a day. Poor bastard was stuck in the cab hours. 😉
servers his dumbass right for knocking out everyones power
i think men need to take back this "mansplaining" term... just basically whenever you are talking to someone and are about to use the word "explain" just use mansplain instead... l"let me mansplain"
in a few years it will be "sexist" .. like "policeman" etc
("take back" is probably not the correct term there.. but you know what I was trying to mansplain)
I think men need to claim "Femsplain" instead, where they then belittle the people who care by pretending to lower themselves to their standards :P
"Let me femsplain it so you understand"
If they find it sexist, you then cure the whole point of <gender>splaining
If they are insulted, you can laugh at them, making their point moot
If they accept it, you have an excuse 😛
that just seems like you are belittling people tho... also Im not thinking just when youre talking to women .. Im think just in general... just basically erode the word "explain" from existance
you two are assuming that they posesess something resembling self awareness
doesnt matter if they dont
imagine in 5yrs if the word mansplain was basically synonymous with explain.... if a woman said "stop mansplaining" it would essentially sound (to anyone) like they are basically saying "stop explaining"
(which in a way they already are... unless Ive misunderstood what mansplain means)
you will not get it to be synonymous with explain because the only people using it now are stupid idiots and reasonable people will not use it because they don't want to look like a stupid idiot
and yes, it does mean "stop explaining things i don't want to understand"
every single time i've seen it in a tweet (which is the only place i've seen it outside of buzzfeed or the like) it was used by someone who i would not want to interact with on any level
hence the belittling,
Rationality doesn't work on people who actually use Mansplaining unironically
might aswell make it a snowflake thing 😛
update on the molenbeek fire from a couple days ago
apparently some actress from westworld was saying people mansplain the series to her
the investigators concluded that the fire might have been arson
also
actors are not people i have respect for
1 person got sent to the hospital in shock

14k RTs 55k likes https://twitter.com/TheTweetOfGod/status/997521849775898624?s=20
I mean... theyre still counting the bodies
to be fair,
As much as i genuinely enjoy that tweet :P
I feel Trump is in a can't win situation, if he says nothing they'll accuse him of not caring cuz he doesn't respond enough
so trump is not allowed to say that there was a shooting?
I think it was just a joke... but the amount of rt's likes kinda says something
i dunno, every single tweet trump makes draws that level
not trumps tweet.... "god"'s tweet
and they're both a mixture of people going "haha" and people going "knock it off fag"
yeah
