Arkie-Husker-Okie @KOSURadio news director. Alum @Unl_CoJMC MPA @OUPoliSci. I like dogs, sports, holding those in power accountable and long walks on the beach.
Route 66 turns 100 this year. To celebrate, the Oklahoma History Center is offering a condensed journey through Oklahoma’s portion of the Mother Road — including some towns whose stories are rarely told.

I’m not superstitious, but this adorable dog getting pigeon crap on her head may just lead to OKC’s second Larry O’Brien. Give her a seat on that parade bus
Panera has brought back two fan-favorite lobster items for the summer, however they are only available in one region of the country. https://t.co/ojwM9JmObS
Oklahoma lawmakers failed to override a Gov. Kevin Stitt veto of a bill that would have extended the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority beyond July 1, 2026, as they hastily wrapped up the session on Thursday.
Here's what that means for viewers.

You might see Arkansas cutting Tennis and then reversing course 3 weeks later after a huge outcry and think that other schools will think twice before cutting sports.
It’s probably actually taught them that it’s a great source of new revenue from angry alums. 😅

Stitt's veto of a similar measure was overridden by a large margin several years ago. The way this session is closing out + political realities = no guarantee of another override.
UPDATE: Gov. Kevin Stitt quietly vetoed SB1461, which would extend the sunset for OETA to 2031, on Tuesday, keeping in line with his past opposition to OK’s PBS station. “OETA's long-term, strategic value is at best unclear, if not outright imagined," he said in 2023. #okleg

At the western edge of the panhandle, Black Mesa is Oklahoma’s highest point — and one of its darkest. Late last year, the state park became Oklahoma’s first certified International Dark Sky Place. We went to check it out.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Stroble v. Oklahoma Monday. The decision likely means tribal citizens will need to continue paying state income tax.
