It’s only been 2 weeks since the show relaunched and they’ve already started to break. Jobs not done. We’re just getting started.

This is the most open I’ve ever been, and likely will ever be; with any and all of you reading this right now.
I was planning on visiting my old high school soon, and it’s making me reevaluate the direction I’ve been taking my content in for the last year now.
To give context; I’m planning on visiting my old high school sometime soon so I can talk to some students about what being a content creator is like.
Yesterday, the teacher I’ve been in contact with to setup the event sent me an email that I always knew I’d one day receive.
In it, she stated that after talking to some of the students about me, they looked into my content and found that it doesn’t fall in line with what the school stands for (shocking, I know.)
At the end, she asked me a question that made me reevaluate everything.
It was a simple question, honestly, but it was one that even now, after thinking about it for hours, I still can’t easily answer.
One line that made me question everything.
“What kind of message are you trying to push with your platform?”
You see, years ago if someone would’ve asked me that question I’d be able to answer it in a heartbeat.
“I’m trying to teach people how to set goals and surpass their limits, and in doing so I try to make entertaining content that can target a general demographic so they can be directed towards my motivational content.”
A nice answer.
An admirable one, even.
But one that I don’t think I could still honestly give with how things have been going recently.
You see, as a content creator you know that there are going to be eyes on you.
You know that everything you say, everything you do, will be watched and judged.
But when, months ago, the situation with the abortion leak happened, it made me shut down in a way I never have before.
I’m planning on making a video sometime soon where I go in depth on what that whole situation was like for me and how it impacted me personally, but to give a brief insight; it made me hate the idea of being open with my audience.
Not because I received death threats and backlash for it, and not even for the fact that I didn’t want to drive more attention to it, but rather for something else entirely.
It was because I wasn’t even sure if I was someone that my audience should even look up to anymore.
I wasn’t sure if I should even hate myself or not for everything that happened, and that constant doubt and second-guessing of my own character made me lose the desire to talk about anything related to me as a person because I, myself, didn’t even know if I’d be a person that was worth investing time into.
So, instead of actually talking about it, I internalized it.
I never brought it up to my therapist.
I never brought it up to any of my friends.
I never even brought it up to my family.
The only person I ever truly talked to it about was Laura, and she always gave me the same answer.
Rather than telling me to forget about it or just let it rest, even though bringing it up would typically end up directing a lot of unwarranted hate her way, she did the opposite.
She told me that I should share what I felt comfortable with sharing, when I felt comfortable with sharing it.
I never understood when people would talk about how others give them strength, but after the countless amount of talks me and her had about it, I now understand.
And so, sometime in the next few days I’ll make a video talking about it, fully.
I’ll talk about what happened.
I’ll talk about how it impacted me.
And, I’ll talk about how it impacted my approach to content.
The reason why isn’t for pity or views, I understand it’ll only end up amplifying the amount of hate I already receive;
But rather, the reason why I want to talk about it is because it’s me.
I always told myself I’d want people to watch and support me for me, and after coming to terms with everything that happened I feel like I’m ready to open about that part of my life.
A part that I wish neither me nor Laura ever had to experience, as well as a part that I still harbor feelings of shame and resentment about;
But also a part of my life that makes me who I am, so that the people who watch me don’t just feel like they’re watching another entertainer, and rather a human being with flaws and struggles just like everyone else.
And now you might be wondering,
“How does all this relate to the question that the teacher asked you?”
The answer is simple.
If I want to go back to opening up about my goals and dreams to my audience who, for so many years, rooted for and supported me in them,
Then I should also be willing to open up about the struggles that have haunted and plagued me.
I know this is a longer tweet and I know that not all who read the first line will also be reading this one;
But for the ones that are, I just wanted to thank you.
Not just for being willing to listen me open up about my life for all these years,
But for also being willing to stand by me when I haven’t.
I want to give you a sincere thank you.
But, more than that, I want to also tell you about what the future has in store.
I’m not saying that I’m going to become a motivational speaker and that the whole unhinged part of my character will bleed away, that’s always been who I am and who I will always be.
Rather, I’ll work towards setting goals again and trying to inspire and motivate some of you in ways that I haven’t for a while;
Whether it be about opening up about my own struggles, setting goals that I aspire to accomplish, or even just allowing you to peer into my life again, just know that I will do my best to return to the roots of who I’ve always been; and maybe even ignite the urge in some of you to do the same.
I’ve always striven to be the kind of man I myself would look up to;
But, along the road of life there will always be situations in which you display imperfection.
Imperfect judgement,
Imperfect character.
But, an imperfect man, like any man, is like every man.
And that’s okay.

ROSS GLICK has released even MORE footage of his bizarre encounter with a visibly Jewish man in a park.
He asks “Would you like to KISS ME!” and “Would you like to go to Gaza?”
Ross Glick now goes by the alias “Urban Warrior” to escape his nasty past

@PlanetOfMemes I'll give you $5000 to start drinking again. Maybe that will help this bullshit streak you've been on.
Content fucking sucks now.
You fucking suck now.
I used to think I would do anything for you. Now I think I would do anything to you.

@benquadok Man I really thought Hot Mulligan had created a new genre with the Post Emo thing they had going. Arms Length and Ben Quad both belonged in that category. But both bands sign to Pure Noise and immediately release generic post hardcore songs. Not a bad song but definitely lacking

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:
I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.
We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.
There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.
I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.
I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.
I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void.
