I haven’t deleted the original as it’s in the middle of a 16 skeet 🧵 from yesterday’s BOA. Focus on BB 82 & #BOAbb68 for the #Cortex353 blight extension. Equally bonkers!
This post corrects an earlier post with the botched vote tally on #BOAbb82
You’d quoted my erroneous post yesterday. Sorry for the confusion.
