All right. I'm with Michael Young, everyone. Welcome to Walkins. Welcome.

Tell me where we just kind of jumped right into conversation. I was like,

Maggie was like, we got to record this. So tell me, you were telling me about you had a, this is all,

we were talking about typos, actually. And then you were like, this is all part of the thing.

And so start from the beginning of your story.

So several years ago, when I was still working in formal politics, I had a thread go viral.

And it wound up being read, I think, on the Ben Shapiro show or something like this.

And so it just got supercharged.

My count at this time had like 500 followers or something like this.

And you had popped up, I think had commented on the thread somewhere along the line.

And this was just when you had started coming over and looking at the right and being like,

what are these people doing?

What is an eclectic mix of like Jordan Peterson and Eric Weinstein?

And somehow what are these people doing?

Okay.

And when that was going on, an art, what did you call it, an outlet approached me to write a column on my thread.

And you and I had a bit of a back and forth until my thread went viral enough that the people whom I worked for said,

we can't have a staff for getting all this sorts of attention. So you're

going to have to do something about it. And I then had to shut it down. And I disappeared for about

three years. And then I, so this is where it connects to the typoist thing is I started my account

after I left my job in 2020, just as COVID was ramping up.

Okay.
