My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.
If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.
I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health.
@delta your WiFi is shit! I’m on a plane to Asia and we’re sitting on the tarmac as I frantically downloading the Korean War in Color.
United has a much better product, and allows for Bluetooth ear buds. Get with the times. Don’t make me switch my SILVER status.

Hey @grok what is the religion/ethnicity of the cofounder and current CEO of sweetrgreen? Just the ethnicity, no spin.
On Monday, a horse named Austrian Painter won a race in Indiana.
By Wednesday, the horse had been renamed after the Internet figured out it was a reference to Adolf Hitler.

Canada has become an apologist for Islamist ideology. Shame on red-blooded Canadians for refusing to stand up against the calculated spread of Islam, and for failing to defend the values that once made our country great.
As an Austinite, I’d like to make some things clear… I enjoy paying taxes for ACC, I enjoy paying for the parks and the pools and the trail and the libraries and the sports. I like seeing roads being fixed, public spaces being beautified, preservation, museums, and festivals.
The charm vanishes, however, when the people in charge of the above civic responsibilities choose to sacrifice them to those who invade and destroy them… prolific violent offenders, the addicted and deranged, looters, vagrants, thieves, and the duplicitous grifters who encourage and profit off of it all.
I used to look at cities like Detroit and wonder how long it took for greatness to crumble. Living in Austin has made me realize it just takes one lousy city council session, one shift of priorities from serving the makers to coddling the takers. And shaming the makers, over and over, until self-preservation is an embarrassment.
I remember reading about an east side convenience store owner who was robbed as often as there are days in a month. By the same person. And the police would do their job and arrest him and fill out their paperwork and turn him over to the justice system and the justice system puts him right back onto the street again.
My heart breaks for those who struggle, it turns to stone for those who profit off of and thus increase the suffering. I want a justice system that considers the east side convenience store owner, the citizen who’s providing employment and services and, yes, taxes to that system and who, in return, receives this daily assault and insult.
Something’s got to give.
