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.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    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.

    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

    "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.
