YouTube video essayist James Somerton has posted an apparent suicide note on Twitter. A few months ago, he was proven to have plagiarised most of his videos, and has faced a mass pile-on since then.

Apparently "okay".

Tik Tok is to be banned in the USA unless it is sold. Will it cause any suicides from those who earn from it. 

Trump came out against this bill so it's not going to go anywhere.

These people on TikTok will just move to Youtube. Vine died and everyone moved over.

  • His 4x4 called Nellie is barely alive
  • His legs are fucked

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is a world record. No one is stupid enough to do this but him.

 

So honestly fair play.

Russ Cook is basically 24 hours away from reaching the beaches of Tunisia and being first person to run entire length of Africa.

He's a nutter, no doubt, but he'll have money for the rest of his life from doing this if he writes a good book.

Big into the World Runners Association waiting until he'd nearly done it to say "actually, he's not the first person to run the full length of Africa"

I know a book is already in the works and a documentary team has met with him on the road.

Thing is that he is in-a-way going to be the first one to run the lenght (or not exactly the lenght but from south to north) of Africa.

 

Cook started his run from the most southern point of Africa (Cape Agulhas) and is supposed to finish at the most northern one (Ras Ben Sakka; 37°20′49″N), whereas Olsen (as the press release statement reads) started his Africa run from Taba (29°29′30″N; which isn't even the northernmost point of Egypt) to Cape of Good Hope (which also doesn't mean he ran the full lenght of Africa).

As for how trustworthy that association is...well. It's weird. It's no official organisation, if that's what you're asking. The guy that founded it (and who released that statement) is also the same person who created that Wikipedia page (plus he shamelessly plugged his own photo and himself along the association's runners).

Also, you can compare both runners' tracks.

The former seems like a very inefficient route, and realistically shouldn't count as being the first because he didn't run the full length of the continent! Which therefore makes Cook the first...

Why do they keep repeatedly pointing out their nationalities in this statement anyway? Is that even relevant? It reads like it was written by an angry Dane suffering from nationalistic hypertension at the thought of one of 'their' records being broken.

Because lots of nationalistic pricks people have a lot of shortcomings they are trying to make up for. Bit like people who self-identify as 'The Hardest Geezer'.
