The world is made up of poets and retards, and everyone's a poet, and everyone's a retard.
And everyone's on Twitter®, and many need to be unfollowed. Straight off the bat. Unfollowing celebs is relieving. You can unfollow politicians, models, dèbuc*nts, socïalites, scientists and performance artists. Not only you get to deny yourself of the mental agony that is reading their tweets, you also get to mend your following-followers ratio. That's basic tweeconomics: less people you follow the more intently popular you are at home.
A few creative people you'd be wise to undo with PDQ are listed below. All of them are verified so they won't get hurt. Verified™ people are rich and charming. You can loathe or be in loathe with them. If you want redemption just tweet "Sorry for unfollowing, @xxxx" to the relevant person. Even if you never followed that particular user before, you can lackadaisically follow them now for five seconds, and then joyfully unfollow.
