My dog was totally unimpressed. I was trying to leverage it as best as I could to try to make him think that I was cool. He truly didn't care. Galilee is his name, Shout out Galilee. Yeah, I mean, that anyone is reading it, that anyone cares is a I mean, it's the greatest gift that you can give to an artist is to pay attention to their work. Time is your most irreplenishable resource. You'll never get more of it. You know, you can get more money.

And and our young people have their morals well calibrated enough to say, not in our name. And there are institutions that are trying to squash that. And it just seems so backward.

So if I can You know, I'm offering one channel of support, you know, through this action that you speak of, and, you know, one tries to open as many channels of action as they can in their living. So it's my luck to be of any use, any bit of wind at their back. Awesome.
