For all its corporate stodginess, Dallas has a much better transit system, a stronger urban design/pedestrian accessibility in its core neighborhoods, and a more diversified economy. It's cool if someone has different priorities, though.

I grew up in south Arlington and Mansfield and led a more Fort Worth-oriented childhood, and have since moved to Oklahoma City after starting my career in Austin. People who think Dallas or Houston aren't Texas are ridiculous. People who pointlessly belittle Oklahoma are also ridiculous.

Always fun to beat any team employing Aaron Rodgers, even when he's not playing.
Fun fact: Rodgers attended my law school graduation. He was dating Olivia Munn at the time, and Munn's sister was one of my classmates.

In real American (as opposed to Americana) fashion, Inola was destroyed by their opponents, who also happen to be the most expensive private school in Oklahoma.

Federal Reserve’s inflation calculator shows $5 in 1994 is worth $10.84 in 2025. Even $10.84 doesn’t seem that expensive, frankly.

Jesus. (1) This guy shouldn't be removed. (2) If he is to be removed, what's the government's rationale for not sending him to Costa Rica, which has agreed to accept him and where he's agreed to go if ordered removed?

From MLB's announcement: "Fans will have the ability to purchase these subscriptions either independently, as part of a bundle with MLB.TV, or as part of a package with ESPN’s app." At least it sounds like we won't have to get the whole ESPN subscription and then tack on an additional MLB package.
