I don’t know what’s so perplexing about “MAGA son.” We could use more people like him, who have big political disagreements with relatives but are still vocal about their love for them.
I sort of agree, but….if he understands that his mom shouldn't be risking violence by expressing her political opinions, why did he vote for someone who is actually inciting the violence? That seems like a fundamental issue, way more important than a candidate's stand on tariffs or whatnot.
A lot of people support Trump because of his policy positions other than being unstable and potentially inciting violence, like how a lot of people support Democrats because of their policy positions other than controlling people's lives through lockdowns and doing nothing about the border.

Sometimes I think that to have a Twitter account, a random selection of your tweets should be sent to the users' parents as a brake on being an embarrassing person in public.
My hot take is that the average politician is somewhat better looking than the average person, at least if you adjust for age. They're just not as hot as most other groups of people with easily recognizable faces.
Worth noting in this context that Zohran Mamdani and AOC are both in their 30s, so pretty young by politician standards.
Pedigree horse names typically work by combining aspects of both parents names— though the better ones try to make it a proper wordplay. This horse's parents shownames were KIDS CLASSIC STYLE and LOOKIN TOUCHABLE.
My pleasure. Here's another fun fact: the breeding chart shows that this horse is inbred! Kid Clu is his grandfather on his mother's side and his great-grandfather on his father's side. Not surprising, from its photo. Kid Clu was apparently a horse in much demand, leading to many of its descendants receiving the unfortunate Kid name. https://gohorseshow.com/2011/11/the-return-of-kid-clu/
For real… I was staring at it for like five minutes trying to figure out some alternate way of parsing it out that made sense and I’ve still got nothing lol
I think the blue sky piece and the Twitter black hole really makes me miss magazines.
Not high minded news magazines but workdaday hobbyist magazines that mostly didn’t care if you were a democrat or a republican they just wanted to tell you how to cook, if the new graphics card was good and how cars and appliances perform.
I mostly go on social media for this stuff but it’s so hard because of my revealed preference to get my politics minimized. Tik tok and threads at times get there but today the pop base account had aoc comments on it right there. Why can’t you fuckers stay in your lane and tell me about whatever stupid paparazzi photos or something mindless.
I promise I’m doing the assigned reading for the civics class I don’t need to read about politics everywhere.
He‘s a Democratic Socialist and not at all an Antisemite, he just opposes the US Arming and funding a genocide and getting dragged into another pointless war in the Middle East.
I’m not a Socialist but I disagree with the assesment that Democratic Socialism should be automatically disqualifying. Most European countries have had Socialist governments and none of them have instituted Stalinism. I think that intuitivly opposing someone based on this label, especially if they have run an insanly competent campaign, if the alternative is an incompetent, corrupt, warmongering multiple sexual harraser ultimatly doesn’t do Americans any good.
Robert is a stupid stupid troll. He doesn't even believe what he's writing. He's just parroting the standard right wing (also "centrist") crap about anyone who doesn't think Israeli right wing nut jobs have an absolute right to slaughter everyone else whenever convenient to keep their dear leader out of prison.
👍 God I Hope Zohran wins, the earlier Dems get away from thinking serial rapist centrist whose main Message is that he can‘t do anything, is good strategy, the better
There are multiple people in here CHH ought to ban for performing their little aggression fantasies rather than actually talking…don’t let the comments get too sludgy, CHH!
I was a CHH subscriber before it was cool. Why did I just have to sign up again. Rhetorical question. This has happened with several of the earliest stacks I followed
Literally some of the earliest Twitter discourse revolved around the hotness of Elizabeth Kucinich during the 08 primaries. The more things change the more they stay the same.
I am convinced that “Kidslookin Touchable” was what was written on the “joke so funny it kills you to read it” Monty python sketch it’s almost slain me
The Supreme Leader of Iran won't see your mean tweets about him, but your friends who are leaders of fascistic theocratic states will.
Think before you post!
Lmfao

You just don’t see many people like that!

Dunno why anyone’s scared of Iran. They’ve never even won an SEC championship. Vanderbilt-ass country.

Agree. with the exception of Doug Mastriano
She says her son painted a self portrait, so surely the painting depicts the son.
What could possibly be the context of that horse’s name?

I don't know if it makes it funnier that they did this fully on purpose.
Thank you for coming in with an answer!

I'm hoping it's either Al slop that got auto uploaded by an algorithm or an issue with using Google Translate without cultural context.

If you don‘t know about Zohran, please don‘t believe any of the insane slander about him, elite Dems just hate anyone who slightly threatens them.
I mean he's an avowed socialist and unrepentant antisemite...
He‘s a Democratic Socialist and not at all an Antisemite, he just opposes the US Arming and funding a genocide and getting dragged into another pointless war in the Middle East.
Sure bud. He believes that it is morally justified to blow up buses of Jewish civilians. Have a nice weekend.
No he doesn‘t, this is just total propaganda which is trotted out every time anyone says anything even remotly critical of Israel.
I doubt Mamdani is actually an anti-semite, but he is pretty terrible: https://www.maximumnewyork.com/p/how-im-voting-for-mayor-in-nycs-democratic
(Granted, if you are yourself a socialist, you probably will disagree with this assessment.)

Oh wow, some generic centrist piece of shit writes generic centrist piece of shit assessment. News at 11!

Hi Paul. Mamdani thinks globalizing the intafada is good. He's not an idiot and he knows exactly what he's promoting. And it's Jew hatred.

Worth it for the last one
I’m saving that “I’m not woke enough for this” screenshot for use in the group chat.
Also, the internet was a mistake.
Truly an evergreen tweet.
It really is

Why are you so good at this shit
I am convinced that “Kidslookin Touchable” was what was written on the “joke so funny it kills you to read it” Monty python sketch it’s almost slain me
Every time I look at the graphic I laugh aloud again I really can't remember the last thing that worked on me like this
I was like.. seconds away from a big ole' worry-spiral at work and this was so funny that I have settled down. CHH, a healer. <3
