Unfollowed a well-known political reporter on Twitter this morning. He was twittering about what would happen if the GOP Presidential campaign came down a contest between Rick Perry and Sarah Palin. I swear, if these people were sportswriters they’d be covering their own fantasy football leagues.
I decided to unfollow every journalist and pundit who tweets banal and vacuous insiderisms and horse race stuff.
Problem is, if I unfollow all the journalists tweeting banal and vacuous insiderisms, then I might as well unfollow everybody who tweets to complain about the banal and vacuous insiderisms these people tweet.
But that would include me!
How do you unfollow yourself?
You do what I'm doing (not entirely intentionally). Read Twitter on a time-shift (i.e., fall behind; if you can figure out how to do the other, lmk asap) and only react to things that are still somewhat relevant.
