It's not hard to see why James Talarico pulled off a landslide as a Democrat in Texas. Just look at his campaign materials. S-tier operation.

Indomie goes with fried eggs, yam goes with fried eggs, but you can’t eat Indomie and yam

Randomly still think about how in 1978 Bernie's local paper went around asking people their New Year’s resolutions and everyone’s was like ‘I want to quit smoking’ and ‘finish high school,’ and Bernie was 'I want to make people wake up to the radical change needed in society.'
nothing’s topping ‘two Huangs don’t make a right’

At 28, Dostoevsky was dragged before a firing squad, spared at the final second, and exiled to four years of hard labor in Siberia. Surrounded by brutal cold and severe illness, he lost his entire youth, but he never lost his spirit. Instead, those dark years forged his deepest wisdom and compassion for human nature. He went on to write Crime and Punishment at 45 and completed The Brothers Karamazov at 59.
No season of suffering is wasted. Yes, you can start all over again.
Hozier’s post about his ‘Work Song’ hitting a billion streams just transported me back to all the afternoons I spent playing it on the balcony of the flat I stayed in during my NYSC in Ibadan.
wow, so much life has passed and if we’re lucky, there’s still so much more to come.
