Ben Dreyfuss: “I got my blue check mark because i’m a magazine editor. you may have noticed that they verify journalists.”

HeyMister: “Allegedly. Sounds like a whole lot of “alternative facts” if youknowwhatImean wink wink nudge nudge. Let me know if you have a connect on the inside (@jack ?) bec I’ve got a crisp benjamin for whoever can get me a blue checkmark.”
