  1. Someone pointed out to me that Raiders of the lost Ark would have turned out the exact same without Indiana Jones at all. It bugged the hell out of me. It occurred to me this morning with the same is true about Inglourious Basterds. Shoshana had the Nazis taken care of.
  2. don't want to flash my wad, but since this post, *somebody* is sitting on an extra $39.80.
  3. 150MM+ nationwide won’t happen, but a big Texas jump will. It’s suddenly competitive for the first time in decades in an era when the desire to vote in general has gone up. That’ll drive up interest. it won’t be comparable to the midterm jump, but only because that borders on mathematically impossible. But the same fire that drove turnout then is still going. https://www.texastribune.org/2018/11/07/texas-election-results-turnout-county-look-up/
  4. already at 2016 per capita numbers before the election year push. 900,000 got registered election year 2016. be interesting where we end up. 1.1MM would mean registration growth rate is 2x population growth rate.
  5. it had a 'it's her turn' vibe to the appointment. not great. I honestly can't believe it is this close.

  8. that's amazing. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/89-1965/s78 literally the exact confederacy voted no, the exact non confederacy voted yes, minus Texas's Yarborough.
  9. In some ways it amazes me the VRA was ever passed. I remember on of the civil rights acts a Texas Senator was the only “confederate” Senator that voted yes. I’m sure that’s probably true with all the civil rights era laws. There must have been uniform support for them outside the confederacy, even the states that are ruby red today to overwhelm the confederate stonewalling of them.
  10. If you actively selected for it, yes. Maybe someone like Harvey Weinstein. But if you took 1000 random names out of the phonebook, I'm convinced Trump would literally be the worst.
  11. I'd do it without batting an eye. pulling the lever for Not Trump will be the easiest thing I've done in my life.
  12. Beto's run made me think rural Texas is just unconvinceable. He went to every county, shook more hands than anyone, held town halls in every Vega Mineola Bangs there is, and improved by 1% over Hillary's numbers.
  13. Good news: Mark Kelly has raised a bazillion dollars. Bad news: McSally has too. Going to be a pretty expensive seat. https://ktar.com/story/2974157/arizona-democrat-mark-kelly-is-no-1-in-us-in-senate-fundraising/
  14. lulz. that's pretty embarrassing if radiolab presented this as a true story. real life doesn't unfold as a perfect fable.
