who are on the wrong side of that, pull your heads out of your asses.

And actually do me a favor, the leadership who may be listening, talk to your boys and girls, right?

Your job is hard enough.

Every single time one of those things happens, you know what's gonna be done with it.

It's going to be weaponized and pushed on social media with the goal of getting more people to be there to do those things in the hopes that that happens again and up and up and up and up and up.

And that I feel like is where we are now.

And I don't know what to do about it.

I mean, I guess I'll close on this topic with what I opened with.
