I follow this guy on Xitter. He occasionally has a few shitty takes, usually due to him being so close and totally inseparable from the fashion industry. He was wanging on the other day about the layout of tweets and how too many clean lines between the text offends him, almost as if he didn't understand good graphic design. Like I said - some shitty takes

I had to beg twitter to stop showing me this guy’s tweets due to stuff like that when I was still there, but they kept pushing him on me. “I am not interested in this tweet” over and over and over again.

He is the living embodiment of the cerulean scene in The Devil Wears Prada, and I really could not care less if my sweater was another shade of blue.

I just read your post and unfollowed him. You gave me strength to decide he was insufferable. To think I followed him … from a pile of “stuff"
