I’ve tried to be fair. Truly. The best path for a Talarico win was for red counties NOT to vote. They are out in force. Whatever odds he had of winning are much smaller after today.
The discourse around early voting in Texas is already exhausting. Both sides seem so confident that their guy will win.

Holy CRAP. More and more parents are messaging me.
🚨 TEXAS PARENTS - WHO IS SENDING UNSOLICITED LGBTQ+ MATERIALS ADDRESSED TO YOUR CHILDREN? A Texas parent has sent me a few photos of an unsolicited brochure titled “Texas Trans & LGBTQ+ Student Resource Guide.” The envelope wasn’t addressed to the parents. It was addressed to “Students of the [family name].” The parent says she never requested the material and is concerned that someone is attempting to reach her children without her knowledge or consent. The return address identifies an organization called Texas Transgender Student Union, located in Meadows Place, Texas. Earlier this month, the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) publicly reported that someone had been sending unsolicited text messages “impersonating its organization.” TENT denied responsibility for those messages. (Not sure I believe them) So WHO is funding these mailings? WHERE did they obtain the household information? WHY are they addressing materials specifically to students? And HOW are they determining which households have children? Texas parents, have you received one of these brochures? If so, please preserve the entire envelope, including the postage information. Myself and my team will be looking into this.

Former President Nixon had to release his tapes. Former President Biden had to release his tapes. But "King" DC District Court Judge Ana Reyes from Uruguay refuses to release a court audio transcript of her verbal diatribe attacking DOJ lawyers. Ok.

So, is it a coincidence that DOJ is out arresting people in California today for being non-citizens who have registered to vote? What does that prove? It proves that there are registered voters in California who are ineligible to vote in federal elections and California has sent them mail-in ballots. That is "knowledge" under the "aiding and abetting" theory of criminal culpability. Coming up shortly on Substack.

Steve Hilton said he’d buy me a gallon of gas if I produced a viral ad for his campaign. California dems have voted the same way for years and all our friends are fleeing the state. It’s time to vote different. It's OK to vote different. Just try it!

As much as I love being the contrarian, I must report that “You Can See Everything” is indeed an extraordinary bit of filmmaking. Just from a pure craft perspective, it is unquestionably a masterpiece. An effective and emotionally layered psychological thriller in the form of a documentary — and it holds your attention for 3 hours. I don’t think anyone has ever done anything like that with the documentary genre. And I say that as someone who has made two of them. Pretty easily the best movie of the year. It wont be to everyone’s taste but it’s hard to deny that, artistically, it’s a triumph. Other filmmakers in the genre (myself included) need to up their games. Meanwhile, Nathan Fielder — across TV and now film — has never made a bad piece of media. Batting a thousand. Remarkable.

it’s fascinating how no one with an IQ above 80 thinks this
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

So, the DOJ v. CA election case was filed as an expedited matter 4 days ago, and still no judge has been assigned. I recall in DC there was an illegal alien who was detained to be removed, and at about 1:00 AM Judge Boasberg, on vacation, answered the call and was able to save that illegal from deportation, at least temporarily, before he was told he had no jurisdiction to hear the case.

Nathan Fielder reveals that Elizabeth Holmes called him from prison last week. “She had not called me in over six months. I had not heard from her in any way…she asked how I was doing. I asked her if she had seen any stuff about the film coming out and how she felt about it. She told me she had seen some stuff, but most things she just isn’t seeing, so she’s heard things, but she hasn’t really read anything. And then, at the end, she said to me - ‘I trust you.’ I said, ‘OK, thanks.’” (Source: wired.com/story/nathan-field…)

The first half of June 1998 is one of those strangely coincidental & pivotal moments that seem to embody the zeitgeist, in particular the public’s increasing awareness of its own manipulation by an ultimately empty mind control spectacle. The NBA finals featured a rematch between the previous year’s teams: the Chicago bulls & the Utah Jazz. An aging, less explosive Jordan had developed a hypertechnical midrange fadeaway & was back to close out his second threepeat. The Bulls won in six (Game 6 ending with Jordan’s ‘The Shot’). Meanwhile, Space Shuttle Discovery was on orbit for STS-91, the last space shuttle mission to dock with the Russian space station Mir. It was a short, 3 day resupply mission, & marked the successful end of a joint international project between a post-Soviet Russia & the U.S. the shuttle would start building the international space station five months later. During this same period in June, during the finals & STS-91, Compaq closes the $9.6B acquisition of Digital Equipment Corporation. Dell is commodifying the PC & fighting a price war, & Compaq wants to move upmarket by buying into enterprise hardware, software & services. It was the biggest tech deal of the bubble so far. On June 5, _Truman Show_ is released in theaters: the Jim Carrey dramedy is about a guy who doesn’t know his entire life is lived on a closed soundstage to be filmed for public entertainment. The film portrays American society as one that prefers a fully managed & continuously broadcast reality over any unmediated alternative. The zeitgeist of this late 90s moment emerges as something like this: a nascent yet self-conscious cybernetic society mythologizing itself for the purposes of mass hypnosis. This aesthetic was fully formed by the conjunction of real-life events, but even wilder, _The Matrix_ (1999) itself was being filmed in Sydney in the first half of June 1998. _The Matrix_ overlaid a hero’s journey onto an aesthetic vocabulary of willing if not enthusiastic electronic hypnosis that had already been established by historical events.
