The Lint Screen, Satire/Humor/Etc.
"Where fake news gets real."
Points of view put out there to be agreed with or shot at. Your move, babe.
From time to time, the staff here at The Lint Screen gets lazy and allows someone else’s work to take center stage.
Here is a spot that could put goosebumps on a goose. A little bit of encouragement to us all to create, to dare, to dream, to do.
In short, not to be lazy. Enjoy.
