Greetings and happy start to the week! 📣 In a conversation with The Daily Wire, we delved into my new book, "Motorhome Prophecies: A Journey of Healing and Forgiveness.” Daily Wire’s Joel Kneedler asked about my nomadic childhood and the profound impact of my father's unwavering belief that he'd become U.S. President and the toll it took on our family.

Regular readers will probably notice how much I enjoy writing about topical things in non-obvious ways. I like to write about them without writing directly about them. I still want to write more on and around Oppenheimer (thanks to those of you who sent kind messages or linked to my previous piece!), albeit in a way that still (mostly) aligns with what I usually do.

Having been a Costco member and a regular shopper for many years, I can attest to the fact that the overall buying experience at Costco is pretty good, from the high quality of Kirkland Signature products to the flea market feel of discovering and trying seasonal and limited-time items on sale, to the low prices and exceptional value of the purchases. (Some aspects, like the teeming crowds, the long checkout lines, and the struggle for parking, are put-offs, but they are understandable and perhaps even validate the choice to shop at Costco).

As he transitions his mother’s respected Aube output, Champagne Val’ Frison, into his own eponymous label, thirty-year-old Thomas de Marne might strike onlookers as an unknown quantity in this highly-surveilled region. The question hanging over the head of every “fils / fille de” taking over an estate is: will he or she work in a similar spirit as the p… ncG1vNJzZmimn6mxs7XNpKCnn6CktrS7zWeqrpqjqa6kt42cpqZnoGTBqbGMnZiwpl2ks26vx5qkqZmXo7JuwMeopJqrXZmybrnAq6We

For me, the seeds of streetwear culture on Los Angeles' now-storied Fairfax Avenue were planted during my time at Fairfax High in the 1980s. While I only attended the legendary school on the corner of Melrose Avenue and Fairfax for 12th grade, I had grown up in the streets surrounding it since my pre-teen years.
