I just thought you should know(IJTYSK) will ALWAYS be there to relay these messages!

IJTYSK is typically used as a preceding comment, meant to soften the blow of inevitable bad news.

Usage of IJTYSK as a trailing comment is not uncommon, thought more in line with southern classic "Bless your heart"

"I just thought you should know...he doesn't pay his taxes and cheats on his wife."

"I just thought you should know...anybody can add anything to Urban Dictionary, it's not an accomplishment. It's like bragging that you got accepted to Facebook."

Second Thought

A political channel on YouTube that talks about how bad American capitalism is. He sometimes says in his videos that countries like China are "helping smaller countries to get out of American influence." If he covers a topic, most likely Vox has an explanation that won't make you go "Jesus christ what the fu*k was that about?!"
You: Hmm, a video on the housing crisis in America by a YouTube channel by the name of Second Thought. Hope it's good.
