I don't know what's more terrifying, the deadly violence that occurred in a school, the amount of time that passed before the news got out or the fear that this can cause to anyone who relates to Nex.
Nex Benedict should still be alive. Nex deserved not only a safe and nurturing environment to learn, but an environment that actively disrupted anti-2STGNC+ rhetoric and worked to ensure that vulnerable students were safe. Read more, here:
If I could kill anything it'd be this myth that folks are simply migrating from California to Oklahoma just to be homeless — with a bus ticket and cash in hand. I've actually spoken with hundreds of folks experiencing homelessness and this scenario has never come up.
The Oklahoman staff is curating an Oklahoma City bucket list for first-time comers. What OKC attractions/hot spots would you add to the list?

This is the scene outside of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission at 10 p.m. Sunday. The line already stretches around the building. I'd estimate at least 150 people were there while several cars were pulling up as I left.
A dude in a maroon JEEP was just patrolling our neighborhood. The car had the words “Patriot Watch” on the side. Yellow light bars were flashing like a cop car but he had normal plates. Uhhh, WTF was that?
To everyone who scored Green Day tickets for the show at Cain's Ballroom tomorrow, I hope it's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you have the time of your life.
Hilarious fail. in stitches over the underwhelming

BREAKING: McCurtain County Gazette releases two more articles, including a QR code to body camera footage in the death of Bobby Barrick as well as full three hour audio of meeting that resulted in calls for resignation.
I’m running three cameras at the world’s first space bubble concert with the

I'm excited to announce this initiative with PragerU Kids today. These additional resources will help ensure quality instruction in American history and values, and will enrich educational opportunities for our students
Tinder is an app wasted on dating when what I need is an app that matches me to friendly people with fully stocked fridges and a swimming pool, ya know.
Quick story. Last night at dinner, a waiter spilled a tray of drinks on me. I was soaked. It was like out of a movie bad and glass shattered everywhere. The room fell silent.
It’s now a huge regret in my life that I didn’t tell the restaurant, “The drinks are on me tonight.”
If we all could feel the enormous weight people experiencing poverty are holding onto, then we’d all ask to help carry the load instead of telling them how to grip it.
There’s a tram at the Denver airport 🚊 that connects directly to the heart of downtown and it’s unreal how easy it was to use. I can’t stop thinking about it. Imagine hopping off a plane and going straight to Scissortail Park/Omni/Convention Center. Rebrand to that.
Will Rogers World Airport is exploring a possible change to its brand and its name, and the city is considering adding public transit routes to the airport.
Him: "Does this look like shingles to you?"
Dude had a piece of roofing taped to his chest. Literal shingles. He laughed his ass off and rode off. Amazing.
A brunch public service announcement: Although Cafe Kakao is universally delicious, it’s not worth a long wait when you can just walk into Cafe Antigua and sit down.
I will be collecting some interviews today with people experiencing homelessness and how they're facing this terrible cold snap. This is Dom and his dog Alice. They slept outside last night and this morning they were waiting on a bus to take to the OKC Day Shelter.
The highway to Tulsa could be 100 lanes wide and the left most lane would still be filled with someone driving 55 mph alongside a semi-truck with 13 cars stuck behind them

Likely another dead-ender/troll bill, given the 1st Amendment exists, but new SB1837 by term-limited Sen. Nathan Dahm (also head of the

GOP) would require media outlets, reporters to be licensed, trained, and drug tested by the government.
This evening, I met Keith. For the past few months, he has been living out of a self-storage unit in Oklahoma City. Normally reserved for spare furniture and holiday decorations, these storage units are meant for surplus stuff. But for $80 a month, it has been Keith's home.
