Follow farmers are a scourge. Most are not genuine. There's also an alarming level of narcissism among them.

I block them and suggest you do too, so I started a list.

Most publishers I've dealt with want more of what they bought the first time and point blank reject anything outside that. So to branch out I have to go elsewhere, which takes forever and dramatically slows down momentum.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

All @govpritzker.illinois.gov needs to do is direct state troopers to arrest these agents and charge them with assault. Instead, nothing.
