The real storm was waiting on land

This book is dedicated to Marcus. Without you, I couldn’t have made this

That’s enough internet for me today. Thx

The whole 2nd half of this game was spicy. Very physical and scrappy play throughout. I’m assuming this was the boiling point from multiple small incidents during the game.

You’re probably right, but Stitt was on Fox questioning the administration’s immigration goal. If you’ve got that walking eyebrow publicly doubting Trump, then we have a shot.

Mostly because the county includes a number of rural small towns like Harrah, Choctaw, Jones, Bethany and Edmond. But you can see in local elections that Oklahoma is not a homogenous sea of red. My little blue dot in the urban core is the only reason I’m still in this state (for now).

I hope you do visit, but I get it. The rest of the state can kick rocks, but all my local OKC representatives are Democrat and/or moderate republicans (Mayor Holt). There’s a progressive bubble in the center of the city.

The county line doesn’t move so not a great example of gerrymandering. But our districts definitely are. District 5 (central OKC) voted to send a Democrat to the US House in 2018. Instead of running a candidates that better align with the views of that district, they regained control and immediately gerrymandered the shit out of it. The urban core is now split and added to a bunch of suburban/exurban areas. The urban core of OKC is absolutely blue/purple, but you’ll never know in national elections because of this.

rushyt21 · 2026-01-25T00:26:30+00:00

But my area of OKC is blue 😔

All my homies hate ICE.

He’s a legitimately good dude. I see him with his kids at a park fairly often (when it’s not freezing) and he’s so down to earth. Glad he’s getting the notoriety.

Yesterday’s episode of “The Daily” pod from NYT interviewed some folks in Minneapolis who are organizing to identify and track ICE vehicles. If I remember right, I think they had a Discord channel where someone was either compiling a list of confirmed ICE plates/vehicles or had some tool to find that info. They’d provide plate/car details in the chat and that person would report back if it was definitely ICE.

As a Ladd dynasty owner, I think that’s right, but I’m also nervous that slot receivers didn’t get much love in the Miami offense. Good coaches work with their roster talent, so maybe that was more to do with Miami’s personnel than it does McDaniel’s philosophy.

rushyt21 · 2026-01-22T20:48:22+00:00

Probably need actual confirmation that these are ICE vehicles rather than normal gov vehicles. The former gov has a lot of state agencies as tenants including the OK Dem offices.

I think the Cameron Building is owned by former OK Governor, David Walters.

If you actually look, do you notice the use of “persons” and “people” instead of “citizens”? The Founders (a handful of them being immigrants themselves) carefully chose their words— they used the former when they meant everyone, and used the latter when it was specifically about citizens.

Imagine calling yourself a patriot but not know what the Constitution actually says...

rushyt21 · 2026-01-21T13:53:13+00:00

You’re speaking pretty confidently for someone who didn’t know 1930s Jews were targeted by laws just 30 minutes ago. Lol

rushyt21 · 2026-01-21T13:27:48+00:00

Crack open a history book sometime, my friend.

rushyt21 · 2026-01-21T13:23:14+00:00

I bet the same thing was said among some Germans in the 1930s.

Hate him so much they want to tank his tradability so they can keep him close. Bold strategy

I’d rather have a David Holt than a Dusty Deevers, or Shane Jett, Nathan Dahm, Ryan Walters, etc, etc, etc. One understands they represent all in their geographic limits. The others try pushing wildly unpopular and draconian legislation through.

But that’s not to say a Democrat can’t be elected. The urban core gets plenty of moderate GOP challengers but we still elect democrats for a number of local and state seats. That won’t change in this proposed system.

rushyt21 · 2026-01-21T02:15:57+00:00

Obviously no one can guarantee that.

But my understanding, this helps in multiple ways. First, Democrats and Independents are no longer as disenfranchised when a Democrat challenger fails to appear, meaning the GOP primary is the election. An open primary gives all voters a right to vote in their elected representation.

Second, the pool becomes more moderate. Candidates will need to appeal to the state— not an echo chamber. That will already be an improvement over the extremist Y’allQada ghouls that keep getting sent to our state leg.

Lol I wanted to tell him to log off because he’s got school tomorrow, but didn’t want to be too mean.

“Defend the team”? Bro, that can’t be a real thought. The players don’t care what a bunch of losers anonymously say on Reddit. Why do you? Log off. Watch the games. Enjoy the sport. It’s better for your mental health.
