As a Hawks fan who has spit (metaphorically) in Kap’s face a number of times, my respect for him tripled upon his initial protest,

Voting for war crimes out of fatigue is chill, but slightly off color jokes? GTFO!

You didn’t watch the keynote, I take it.

Steve Jobs lacked courage. Tim Cook does not.

Now this is #content.

Probably some lingering mental trauma though, no? Might be worth getting checked out just to be safe.
