What I said about .@MikeRinder & Leah no cult, bot, troll, David Miscavige or L. Ron Hubbard in his latest body will get me to change!

Oh wow Stef, you're really in the big time now. Congratulations on your promotion. I have put in a good word on your behalf with Big Pharma and the APA so you should be getting some fat checks soon...

New chat today with @BadBradRSR. We cover a lot of ground about my book and life, scientology's efforts to bully him and some random questions about my favorite things at the end.
