Tried to place a classified ad today in The Oklahoman (on behalf of my neighborhood association) and the contracted site to place an ad won't work. Comical summary of how corporate ownership continues to hamstring local papers. I'm trying to give them money!

AOC now.

May 1, 2011, was one of OKC’s greatest days. Marathon in the morning, people wearing their medals in the crowd for afternoon Game 1 western semis against the Grizzlies, arts festival afterward.

Routine win.

It's loser behavior to not wear the playoff shirt in OKC. No debate. www.oklahoman.com/story/sports...

Banger quote.

My dad is the most devout Catholic in our family by a lot and he’s crushed. He’s always called Francis “a Christian pope.” His pastoral approach mattered.

came back from the brink of death to dunk. poster pope.

This rules lol

Fun data point, we didn’t use Twitter once and raised more money than ever this year

@janiemccap.bsky.social enjoyed your story about the Stanford game and hope they beat the record even though I’m an OU fan going to an OU game tonight lol — one note though, there’s a new (soon-to-be-broken) regular-season record as of last week, 9,259 for Bedlam. www.oklahoman.com/story/sports...

Oklahoma Voice has been providing some great coverage recently. Truly we are lucky here with a lot of quality nonprofit media: @nondoc.bsky.social, @kgou.org, @oklahomawatch.bsky.social, @readfrontier.bsky.social, @freepressokc.bsky.social, @molliebryant.bsky.social. Probably leaving someone out.

>reading the David Brooks Op Ed about mass strikes and seeing him quote the communist manifesto at the end

@tylerparker.bsky.social @brianphillips.bsky.social listened driving from Ada to OKC today and will be taking my 8-year-old to her first playoff game Sunday with the season tickets we have had for 17 years and can I just say … that was a good podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

starting the rumor that the Gayle King and Katy Perry that came down from space are not the real Gayle King and Katy Perry anymore

Not a single 8:30pm game in sight — feeling #blessed and highly favored.

The largest paying crowd in the history of Wrigley Field was the day Jackie Robinson made his debut. Wrigley is the only park left Jackie played a game in. Mike Ryoko was a kid at that ballpark that day and he wrote about it. Take a minute and read this today. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...

I’ll vote for whoever requires restaurant kids menu mac and cheese to be regular grocery store mac and cheese. The kids do not want and will not eat your fancy mac and cheese, nor do they even believe it is in fact mac and cheese.

Watch as a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo protect their calves, Mkhaya and Zuli, during a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that shook Southern California. The animals repeated the behavior during an aftershock, but went back to their daily routines when the situation seemed safe. nyti.ms/3Eo2uW8

@edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social @channel6.bsky.social Not the first or last OU fan to celebrate the funniest game of ‘24 but that score multiplied by three Selmon brothers, plus fees, quarterly … We didn’t even need Trevor Knight. (God bless Mrs. Selmon.)

Some things remain gendered. Three ladies + me in my household and let’s just say we’ve never had a plumbing clog around here that’s my fault.

Repeat after me: The government should provide what people need, because people will still work for what they want.

Finally, there’s a Marisa Tomei for ladies

#OKC's Jeff Chanchaleune in the @nytimes.com yet again. I tell people all the time we have to be the most underrated food town in America. (Gift link 🎁) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/d...

A lot of CSAs in the OKC area appear to be kaput but Urban Agrarian offers a subscription box that is functionally the same thing. urbanagrarian.localfoodmarketplace.com/Subscriptions
