Hey Jesse, you a you live Jesus. So that's a yes a little bit dark. Yeah, I'm so I heard you were going to kill yourself this week. Yeah, that was all the news on Twitter. I guess. Yeah, briefly. I had a run in with our favorite website defector. Well, I guess. Okay.

So I wrote about this in my newsletter. People can get the full load down there if they want. They might not. It's pretty ugly, but I got in a little bit of a tale for the guy named Noah Cohen. Cool.

Oh, he's the one who is currently advocating. No, no, no, no spoilers. Okay. Okay. He's a defector columnist. He has a podcast called Blowback. I listened to the first season blowback. I thought it was quite good. What they did wait. So he's a sports guy. No, you read about like politics and stuff.

I didn't affect your sports. Yeah, but he I mean politics too. I don't know what his comms about because I haven't and what read it. So blowback season one was good. One of the things they didn't do. It was about a rack. One of the things they didn't do in blowback season one was try to get anyone to kill themselves.

That Noah Cohen tweeted that I should kill myself and 7,000 plus people liked it. And I pointed out, you know, even by the standards of internet bullshit. This is pretty crazy, which unleashed a torrent. I get even by my own. I'm like, I'm a sick freak when it comes to crawling back to Twitter. You like it. Despite its bullshit. I like it. There's some like sadistic or masochistic part of me. I hadn't really seen anything like this. Like dozens, maybe hundreds of people telling me to kill myself.

And also like journalists writing under their own names, joking about it. And to my mind, encouraging it. So I think you should explain why exactly you're supposed to kill yourself this week. Did you insult his favorite basketball team or something? Did you say Iraq, the Iraq war was good? Like what exactly did you do to it? Because clearly this was your fault to inspire this. Yeah. Yeah. No, there was a.

You'll never guess what subject this circles back to. There was a slightly convoluted thing where I. There was a podcast about youth transition. And the view listened to it. They made it sound like a kid got a very brief, very perfunctory assessment plate. That's plainly what it said. And I responded to that. The young person who got that assessment said I was a liar. My assessment was in depth. She then provided a lot of details that were not in the podcast. And therefore, I could not have responded.

Wait, shouldn't she be mad at the podcast? Not you. You know, one could say that I'm not looking to involve her. I'm not even going to name her. But people pretty quickly ran with the idea that I had lied about a young trans person's healthcare. And of course, this was my fault. As I point out of my newsletter. I shouldn't have been. What's the point of tweeting about any of this? Like, who were you going to convince by another tweet about any of this? But yes, because I subsequently was like, Oh, this person actually said it went down this different way. I'm deleting my tweet. Here's what she said happened. No, a cool wind said. I should

kill myself using the language. The FBI used to try to get Martin Luther King to kill my now. Which is more important, which is more historic. We'll leave that to the stories to say, which was a more outrageous abuse of one's power. But I don't know, man, it was it was dark. Not in the sense that I was going to kill myself, because Noah cool wind said to like of all the reasons to kill yourself. That's that's pretty well. If you're going to kill yourself, it's going to be because of something. I said, come on, yeah, definitely. Definitely. But yeah.

Yeah, it stood out.

I'm mentioning it because it stood out

even by the standards of internet bullshit.

If you tell someone to kill yourself

and especially if you keep joking about it

and mentioning it after that person

has already become the Twitter character of the day,

which I definitely was at that point,

I just think like you should keep in mind

there's a risk that that person

is actually going through some shit

and won't be able to handle it.

Yeah, you just don't know what people are going through.
