John Cusack blocked me on Twitter at some point which is weird. I'm not a prolific tweeter.

I went to the dentist for the first time in a decade. No cavities. Floss daily and quit smoking. I've been too depressed to brush my teeth for days during that decade so I wasn't sure that didn't do severe damage.

Odds are I have a new, slightly less shitty, job.

Do you have any idea on why John Cusack blocked you? That seems so random and out of the blue.

I thought the same thing. I really don't know. I antagonized some campaign strategist once. She's a neoliberal who worked for Republicans before. But I don't think he's a fan of neoliberals since he's a Bernie fan.

Someone on Twitter asked to see some screen grabs of Cusack going after an account that blocked her. I was pretty surprised when I looked up Cusack and realized he'd blocked me. Like I didn't even know he uses Twitter

What an odd situation. The last thing I would expect is a block from a celebrity. Also I'm surprised that Cusack liked to block individuals. If I was a celebrity, the last thing I would do is block people on Twitter because there would be some many people to go through. It seems like pointless to go after people that might disagree with you or insult you when you have thousands upon thousands of followers.

I don't think it's that rare. Lots of people post pictures after they get blocked by public figures. It's just usually after being critical in replies
