The actual type of play on words is called paraprosdokian. Where the in this case punchline is surprising in a way that makes you reinterpret the setup.

In this case "I wanna be supportive but," is kind of priming the reader to expect they're gonna say some transphobic shit then you read "fucking Mildred?" and those expectations are subverted by the actual point being essentially "Why you taking names from 2000's obituaries?"

To my knowledge there's not like a widespread name for this as like a comedic genre because it's just one of the basic ways you can structure a joke. I've seen some comics call it a swerve or an anti-climax but nothing widespread.

Usually clients have some option to do it but the steps might be different based on what client you're using.

Right now I'm on Voyager for example and if let's say I wanted to block your instance I could click your profile and click the options. One of the options on that screen is "View Instance" and from there I have the option to block the instance.

There's also post filters but I know a lot less about setting those up. But iirc one of the things you can filter posts by is the instance the post comes from.

So you're saying we must work it harder in order to make it better. Do it faster to make them stronger?

Can we... Can we feed them to the Bears instead?

~~I'm sorry I'll see myself out xD~~

Knowing him he'll probably allow them to get on that "Gold Card" track without the money as a show of "combating the horrible racial injustice" in South Africa.

Every accusation is a confession after all. So it would be very on brand for them to fast track granting these people status that allows them to vote so now they'll be the ones with the "millions of illegals voting" for them.

It's like the Old Man Yaoi version of Thanos trying to court Death by killing half of all life in the universe.

I made this for the halibut. I wanted something I cod use to beat the carp out of my anemones. Now I'm shrimp-ly bream-ing with excitement. I would have made it bigger but I don't have the mussels for it. Whale, I suppose I should fin-ish up here. I've seem to have o-fish-ally worn out my welcome.

The creator of this hammer, probably. Idk

I remembered myself hearing about some interview where she said something similar. Went looking for it and found a Vanity Fair interview from 2006 where she says:

I slept with some nerd. I hope it was George. I took too many drugs to remember.

When asked about how she got cast in Star Wars back in the day. So not enough to say she got directly extorted sex for the role, or just happened to be sleeping around and whoever she slept with went "Damn, she'd be great in this movie."

I always assumed it was more about the conveyors and such your bag goes through before even getting to those folks. Heavier bags mean more wear and tear and maintenance on those machines.

Honestly, it's probably a little bit of both along with just deterring some cohort of people from bringing too much stuff because they don't want to pay the fees.

And hell it seems like those 3 things all come back to raging sexual insecurity. Their misogyny always seems to come back to them not getting the amount of sex they feel they deserve. A ton of their racism reads like bad interracial cuckold porn. Their transphobia always sounds like they're terrified that they're gonna finally get a woman home only to find out she's got a 12-inch trouser snake and is into pegging or some other psychotic shit.

It feels so weird to say. Like why does it always seem to come back to these chucklefucks not getting enough sloppy toppy and deciding to do a fascism about it?

Or is this person known in the mysogisphere // a right wing extremist?

Whoops, tautology.

More seriously, this is one of the more prominent general right wing Twitter personalities. So absolute raging misogynist but being a MAGA Dick Rider is his big thing.

One of my personal favorites is to refer them to the response in Arkell v. Pressdram (1971)
