Oh, Xander is on Twitter. I'm just going to block him now for the fun of it: https://twitter.com/XanderArena?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

    Frankie Bollocks really has gone off the deep end.. https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1304087664233152513?s=20

    Serious question - has he always been such a dick? I only meat him once in person and thought he was douchy, but his Twitter really is next level stuff...

    It may have started when I asked Tulane to revoke his PhD.

    Yes, that would do it Bob. Nice one though.

    Kristian, to your question (so many dicks today): yes, Frankie Bollocks has always been such a dick. He's another one of those people who've descended into Twitter-induced madness. I've stopped looking at Twitter (other than checking out Xander). It's been 2 weeks. I do feel being off it has benefitted my mental health.

    "descended into Twitter-induced madness" - I'm definitely not innocent when it comes to this either and I hate myselfa little more after every shitty tweet that I tweet... I sometimes look at my own Twitter feed and roll my eyes :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Taking a break from it wouldn't be a bad idea - I find most of my reading via Twitter, but I also end up spending way way too much time reading these days - making me increasingly grumpy :zany_face:.

    I agree it's useful for reading, but I value my blood pressure more.
