well said
you mean 2023?
it's one of those things that if you get into it a little, you need to get into it a lot. bc of the way he talked about it, i wanted to include it in a section about Griner because he felt attacked by the media who didn't consider him a real person, yet does the same thing constantly.
ad Block plus!
