Just a note: If you follow me, I may not follow you back. If I follow you, I have no expectation that you will follow me back.
I follow people because I deem what they post important to me, or interesting to me. That’s. It.

We're going to create a world without war.
We're going to stop and reserve the effects climate change.
We're going to unionize every workplace.

There was this hot guy in the shop earlier, and he just left with out letting me know.
We were getting along great. I would leer at him, and he would act like I didn’t exist. I thought we had a thing.

Can everyone stop pretending that the new CBS is in the news business, and admit that it’s a post-truth propagandistic organization, now that they openly admit it?
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.
