so i did tech report just now (on Altman's "but that's a sacrifice i'm willing to make" quote) and i mentioned the jacob coxon tweets and how he was doing some light holocaust querying and obviously i need to back up that claim so i sent him the futurism article and the tweets and the host's entire response: > CHRIST.
