As of today, Friday August 7th, the OKC Streetcar is permanently free to ride.
This morning, the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA) voted to remove any and all charges from the streetcar system, effective immediately.
COTPA ran a free fare pilot program for the streetcar from January 5th until July 5th and then extended it for another 45 days. During the course of this test, the streetcar saw an average 74% increase in ridership. Based on this, the oversight board voted today to establish a permanent zero fare service.
The OKC Streetcar is a 4.8-mile service paid for by the MAPS 3 initiative. Service commenced in December of 2018.
Curry Barker’s advice for studios trying to cater to Gen Z:
“I wish they understood that we’re tired of slop. We want good movies back. People are still hungry for movies that are original without some big IP, as long as the story is good.”
Yeah finally the reign of the boomer and millennial slop comes to an end. Put ur marvel toys away, it’s time for God’s chosen generation to create art on a level that has never been witnessed before

Bill Simmons says if you replace Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with Brandin Podziemski, the Thunder would still win 50 games 😅

Shai is so good that there’s nothing to actually critique in his game so these people made up “basketball ethics” to have something to be upset about instead of just accepting that they’re witnessing greatness.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA’s reigning champion, will not make the customary visit to the White House while in Washington due to a “timing issue”, a team spokesperson told @TheAthletic.
