• I'm not turtling. Turtling would be blocking you. You told me not to be a pussy because someone in charge of our economic policy, a vital position, said he does not believe systemic racism in the US exists. If I said Tom Brady is not a good QB, how would you respond to that?
• I think you'd say that guy is a fucknut and you'd be right on anyone who has that take on Brady.
• I see this hashtag but have no idea what it's about so I have zero thoughts. Onward. Glad we can end this civil. Be safe out there.
