    She has more than 42,000 followers. I'm guessing that's all that matters

    Content of the actual feed aside (because the proper use of Twitter is a much larger discussion), her avatar is literally a mirror selfie.

    How is that unprofessional? It's not a pro headshot, but who cares?

    Doesn't have to be a pro headshot, but that particular one seems better suited for a Tinder profile than a professional account. But maybe I'm just being old fashioned here.

    That's exactly it. You can act like a child on Twitter, but, if you have tens of thousands of followers, you're gainfully employed. Just don't tweet anything stupid.

    She tweets a lot of stupid. A LOT. Every day. It’s exhausting trying to follow her

    The Devils reporter for the Athletic has a shot of him posing in front of a bunch of cows (bulls?) in a street while wearing a backwards cap. Is that better suited for a Tinder profile than a professional account?

    Then don't follow her.

    OK, boomer.

    I don't follow her. I don't even know who the hell she is.

    If you're so triggered by her tweets, you should unfollow her.

    Son, you're about as sharp as a bowling ball.

    Sports Barf, I want to apologize this time for lashing out.

    I thought, in your previous post, you wrote "She tweets a lot stupid..." I definitely missed the "of" and thought you were calling me stupid.

    That was my B.

    Certainly either one could have asked a friend to take a quick head shot, but your comment here seems to indicate you haven't looked at the young lady's picture.
