This is the greatest version of X that has ever and might ever exist. My entire for you page is European tourists discovering (and loving) Taco Bell, Buccee's, BBQ, SEC stadiums and more Americana. It's a level of joy and positivity I've never seen on this app. I love it here.
If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster.
And we should.
While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable:
The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together.
That experience was special.
🧵WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING: Meet David Pascoe, candidate for SC Attorney General. He's running as a Republican. But is he actually a Democrat?
Joe Biden is in South Carolina today.
Which makes this the perfect moment to introduce you to David Pascoe, candidate for SC Attorney General, running as a Republican, and what he said about Joe Biden in January 2020:
"He is the most decent man I have ever met in American politics. Joe has been a role model of mine for many years. He is someone my sons look up to. Joe is the first and only candidate I have ever endorsed for public office."
That's not only a Democrat who voted for Biden. That's a Democrat who hosted Biden's campaign fundraiser at his own annual oyster roast, endorsed him for president, and was Biden's frontrunner to become US Attorney for South Carolina.
David Pascoe spent 20+ years as an elected Democrat, 6 consecutive terms as SC First Circuit Solicitor. He pushed DEI-style racial quota systems for SC judges as recently as December 2023. Six months before his "conversion," he endorsed a Democratic state rep who voted against banning gender procedures on minors.
And here are the receipts. 👇
As always, patience as I pull together this thread.
