48. And you have every right to focus
Fri Aug 1, 2025, 05:14 PM
Aug 2025

on the issues and matters that you care most about and want to focus on. And as I would never tell you that you’re wrong to focus on those matters, I’m not going to tell anyone else that they are wrong for being offended by something and voicing their opinion. Nor would I spend any energy defending a rich, entitled celebrity for their actions. I don’t care if it’s Beyoncé, George Clooney, Bill Maher or Kid Rock. They have plenty of employees who are paid to defend them.
