I don't usually pull stuff from Twitter, but this is the exception.
I like how there’s a category of careers (cowboy, pirate, spy, princess) that have a very specific historical and political context that they get stripped of for the entertainment of children

Pirate all your favorite shows, movies, and games while you still have the chance.
Oh my god thank you for whomever posted this.
The best part is the fact that out of the two of them Martha Stewart was the one who went to prison.
Wait…what?
Wiiiiild. He did commit murder (in self defense - no judging) and America‘s Best Housewife was sent to jail because of insider trading, securities fraud, obstruction of justice and conspiracy. This is wiiiiiild 😄😄😄
also he has every right to make fun of kanye west considering snoop has had a successful career for about two decades including his own cookbook and appearing in movies whereas kanye is a flat earther who had to crowdfund another album because he ran out of money despite kim kardashian being with him, not having the money to produce another album should be the metric when you know you can tell a musician has failed somewhere in either money management or actually being a musician rather then a famous trainwreck
snoop dogg is a good man who loves cooking, nature, and supporting the dreams of young children in poverty. kanye west helped get trump elected.
seriously though check out his cookbook its beautiful
and filled with lgiht humor, legit cooking, and charming life stories
Whenever I think about snoop I remember that episode of cribs where he lived in an unusually modest house compared to everyone else on that show, spent the entire time with his young daughter hugging onto his leg and dragging her around as he walked. He even talked about how he didn’t want his kids to be musicians and that he just wants them to have a chance at a normal life / he doesn’t wish music career drama on anyone
The dude is mega down to earth for having a networth of 135 million dollars and staying relevant for longer than some of the top charting musicians have been alive
he says he keeps a supply of poptarts in the house for his nieces/nephews and grandkids but admits theyre really for him and then goes on to discuss what selection of condiments your fridge should have to jazz up leftover takeout hes one of the most thoroughly human humans ive ever known of
Doesn’t he also coach football for kids, and stops smoking during the season to set a good example for the kids?
all these people going on about how Hozier is the peak representation of musical soft masculinity when Snoop has been out here rocking the smoothest braids and most hype manicures for decades
Have you seen his Planet Earth voiceover video? It’s the best thing I’ve ever heard. Man knows nothing about otters
Plizzanet Earth is a joy. Here’s the playlist:
Why has no one ever told me about Plizzanet Earth oh my god
Snoop is legit; don’t come for him.
He also did an episode of Storybots and my kids adore the computer man. Which is wild to me. Cuz I remember gangster rap Snoop. And we love and support Snoop in this house.
Love him, great man
Hozier is the peak of good white masculinity. Snoop is the peak of good Black masculinity, and on top of what Hozier does, Snoop adds something a lot of Black children never get to see—you can be a man, you can have “cred,” you can be cool, and also know how to make cookies. (Hozier is great, but he’s never been cool a day in his life and he freely admits this. The two of them have very different kinds of good masculinity both culturally and personally.)
There’s this idea—and the tweet opening this thread exemplifies it—that being “gangsta” means being self-absorbed, materialistic, and violent. Snoop is just like “nah, I have bling and street talk and I’m higher than a kite and also I love my kids and cooking and FUCK your toxic masculinity,” and that’s an important message. You can have the look, if you like the look, but you don’t have to be a stereotype to have the look.
“You can have the look, if you like the look, but you don’t have to be a stereotype to have the look.”
I don’t think anyone has ever said that better.
Don’t forget my man has free YouTube access kids show. No paywalls here! The affirmations song is a bop.

Exhibit A...
Oh Christ Vance is saying it now this is actually the angle they're going with.
Oh my god they’re really going for it.
They're just shouting it everywhere. The weirdness is going to get weirder.
So I have been talking about this on other platforms because this is fascinating to me, because this is an example of the sort of argument I see all the time that's just infuriating, and I don't think there's a word for it beyond "bullshit."
It's the sort of argument you make when it is your job to make an argument, and you have no good arguments, but you can't not make an argument because making an argument is your job, so you make a stupid offensive facile nonsense argument because that's all you've got.
So, like, Fight Club. You know that scene in Fight Club where Tyler Durden is explaining to the narrator how he needs to turn away all the applicants for Project Mayhem? "If they're old, say they're too old; if they're young, say they're too young. If they're tall, say they're too tall; if they're short, say they're too short." Make an argument up on the spot, doesn't matter if it's bullshit, just make an argument up because you can't not make an argument. Say something.
See also: the trans panic defense. It's bullshit, and it's actively harmful, but maybe it'll work and you can't not make an argument; can't just admit the other side is right! (Which is why, in the case of the trans panic defense, it needs to be actively banned, so the defense council is not allowed to make it, overriding the rule that they have to make some argument.)
JD Vance's job at the moment is to make up a reason why the Democratic presidential candidate is an invalid choice. There's no Democratic presidential candidate he would endorse; no matter who they field, he's gotta say they're bad. He's gotta find something. And this weaksauce bullshit is what he's going with. He's got nothing better. There's no good argument and he can't not make an argument so he's gotta make this bullshit argument.
Start looking for bullshit arguments like these and you'll never stop seeing 'em.
Call them bullshit when you see them.
Another fun thing about this “argument” is that George Washington never had kids with his wife. But he did help raise her kids from her first husband…
my jaw hit the floor
excuse the fuck out of whoever this is
the gnarliest, dirtiest shredding with that fucking casio keyboard metronome beat I can’t stand it
“Overuse of Healthcare” Like. How would that even work?
“Huh, this feels kind of … weird and “off” and not good, given my Universal Healthcare, I will go get it checked out. It MIGHT be nothing, but they MIGHT check it and find something serious before it becomes deadly or disabling, instead of just hoping it’s nothing serious and ignoring it until I can’t ignore it anymore”
Oh wait, that’s how healthcare is SUPPOSED TO WORK.
Well that’s not very in love with me of you

Okay but for real though I’m so fascinated by the ubiquity of this pose in the archaeological record across time and place. It must be really significant
Like look at all the titty grabbing going on
Boobs had just been invented and they were showing them off
