We cats aren't saying we're never going to tweet (although we know for sure that we're never going to be on that Mark Zuckerberg invention). But sometimes stuff happens that reminds us how happy we are to be free of the tyranny of Twitter, the folly of Facebook, the inanity of Instagram and the pathetic triviality of Pinterest.
Item 1: President Obama jumps aboard the Twitter bandwagon, and before you know it, @POTUS gets slammed with racist, hateful and threatening posts. Are we surprised? Ugh. And do we think that the President writes his own tweets, checks out his followers, and thus sees pictures of himself with a noose around his neck? Heck, no — he's busier than even we are. But since we can't be bothered with Twitter, we don't have to look at them, either, thank goodness.
(P.S.: We hope that the Secret Service is investigating all those people who tweeted threats, by the way.)
Item 2: We cats were diligently working away on our computer today when we heard a little ding! to announce a new email popping into our in-box. Imagine our surprise when we saw that it came from our Republican Congressman, Rob Wittman (we prefer to call him "Twitman"), to whom we have never given a dime and for whom we would never in a million years vote. So that was startling enough. But on top of that, Twitman was writing to say he wanted to "connect" with us on the Face Thing.
We weren't exactly looking for another reason to shun Facebook, but we're pleased to add Rob Twitman to the list. We cats HISS.
