Twitter is evil (a la Google), but the comment itself seems to border on "Inappropriate Language"... isn't there a clause for "Using Naughty Phrases In Front Of Children"*?
More to the point: using foul-language in a (possibly) child-filled area is distasteful. I get the joke the guy was making. I think that comment is best left where kids might not find it....
... and Twitter needs to make a choice: Fish, or Cut Bait. Either it's Game On for Bad Words, or Not.
[ * - Before I had kids, I thought that such clauses were lazy-parenting. Now, I know better. If your site is advertised as non-sexual, make it so. Act better in public, people. ]
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.

I love how Stempi was essentially coerced into pushing the button by the press. Cartoons are often not for kids.
