I’ve followed you for years, starting on Twitter, where you did follow me back. But then I ditched that cesspool and moved here.
Smooth!
New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford.

When you want to switch to the Ohio State game, but this USC vs Illinois game is so tight.
It's Saturday! 📺
Post a cartoon TV series you love.
Dammit! Next thing you’ll tell us is that Santa Claus isn’t real.
