CLOCK IT.
Will Ferrell says he doesn’t understand why transphobia exists: “I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me… Why would you care if somebody’s happy? Why is that threatening to you?”

I overdid it a tiny bit on acquisitions in the early part of 2023, so that's part of why you're seeing a lower number this year. My capacity was too close to max 😅
