@libsoftiktok @reaganreese_ @DailyCaller You're a scum-sucking quisling loser

@TAftermath2020 Dua Lipa’s 2023 met gala afterparty was hosted in a subterranean nightclub (Virgo in Manhattan’s Lower East Side) on a cold early May night. The notion that this photo was taken there is absurd.

@zdash12 @StevenDeLay4 @BoLoudon Anyone with serious personal ties to Epstein should be investigated, whether the sitting president or a president from a quarter of a century ago. This is a moral issue - not a partisan one. There are no political points to be won on child sexual abuse, only justice for victims.

@JoezyfSayo @BananaRamaLama8 @BurasValer4153 @Think4yorself5 @JhWesten They can be any ethnicity. It’s a highly selective unit, but has no racial requirements (neither does Swiss citizenship, of course).

@Cjdeck1 @boomboom6269 @posting_forever I suspect he either generated the artwork with AI or traced a photo clumsily, then brought it to a tattoo artist who didn't correct the numerous issues with it (both arms and hands are very strange, the shirt is wildly wrinkled, the hats are barely recognisable as hats, etc.)

@Machee23 @wojtek_mic @CharlesHuntNews @ACtooCool @davidhogg111 “Literal cities burning down” is an obvious overstatement of some unacceptable property damage, but the central issue there was the prolonged and torturous murder of a man by a uniformed police officer. You understand the difference, right?

@2020_was_rigged @MikeBaggz @BasedMikeLee I’m well aware, but there are compelling arguments that the political inscriptions are gamer references, which might gel with the more juvenile messages. Again, I think it’s too soon to ascribe any clear motivation to the shooter.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@2020_was_rigged @MikeBaggz @BasedMikeLee This has since been redacted by The Guardian. That’s not to say that he isn’t left wing, but I think we need to wait for a more reliable source than an anonymous friend who hasn’t spoken with the shooter in years.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@ChudPosting @hasanthehun I think we should all hold off from conclusions, in part because nobody wins from this tragedy other than those who seek and stoke division. This, for example, is an anonymous friend who hasn’t communicated with the young shooter for years.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@VickieforNYC You have a squalid soul, and have shown that you’re incapable of discussing matters of law enforcement without being blinded by the hatred that consumes your black heart. I’d say you should be ashamed of yourself, but you’re clearly incapable of that.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@MusaJaved247983 @Weinbdb @AFpost Yeah, the guy’s a planned serial killer, so he clearly has offbeat ideas. No religious jew would have a tattoo or have the name Christopher, but regardless of his religion he’s just nuts.

@schmap244 @soulkhan You’re absolutely correct, the amount of media illiteracy amongst the other commenters is startling. This was kayfabe, not an ambush.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@HumanistReport Guests discuss topics beforehand - this was kayfabe. With Lander by his side, the interview served Mamdani very well for Colbert’s liberal audience, who are (foolishly) concerned about the issues Colbert presented. Stunned more people don’t understand this.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@DintMentalFloss @HumanistReport You’re absolutely correct - the media illiteracy amongst many of these commenters is concerning. Talk show guests discuss their topics beforehand, this was just kayfabe. The interview served Mamdani very well for Colbert’s audience.

@Lt_Katrina_Hawk @naijama @JonyTony93245 @nocontextmemes I don’t think the speculation about an elderly man smoking pot (no evidence that he did) and watching Sesame Street (which didn’t air in France until five years after his death, and didn’t exist anywhere in the 1950s) did you any favours either…

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@myxprofilemiche @RitchieTorres Same can be said for many amendments - the 2nd wasn’t written with inconceivable and widely-accessible future arms in mind.

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@timjcarden @sharathnryn Well, unless if you’re asking Kanye…

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

@DripChud Woefully high buttoning point, ludicrous mitred pockets, and a deranged choice of wearing a knit tie with that shirt and a collar pin. Overall an incongruous, muddled fit - flashy and naive, far from “classical”. But otherwise you look great!

[Ilya Milstein @ilyamilstein]

Sometimes drawing feels like pushing a pen, other times it’s following a line. That unpredictability is what keeps it interesting. Fluency should remain a carrot on a stick.
