Oklahoma is doing something we’ve never seen in college baseball before. They finished with a sub .500 record in the SEC, didn’t win one game in the SEC tournament but still made the NCAA tournament.
They’ve now won 9 straight, beating #2 overall seed Georgia Tech, #15 Kansas, #7 Bama, #3 Georgia and are one win away from beating #5 North Carolina for a National Championship.

@tiffanee_dawn The fact that “be controversial” is a more viable monetization strategy than “be interesting, insightful, and entertaining” probably says more about the platform than it does about your content.
If you oppose the new funding bill, argue the merits.
But calling immigration enforcement a "private police force" and claiming it's really about skin color is an attempt to inflame emotions, not discuss facts.
America is strengthened by immigrants. That's exactly why legal immigration—and the rule of law that supports it—matter. Stop campaigning for an office that you will never achieve.
Here’s a fact-based response that pushes back on the “fair share” framing without sounding ideological:
The phrase “pay their fair share” assumes the wealthy aren’t already carrying a disproportionate share of the tax burden.
According to IRS data, the top 1% earn roughly 20% of income but pay about 40% of all federal income taxes. The top 10% pay well over 70%. Whether that is enough is a legitimate policy debate, but it’s inaccurate to suggest high earners aren’t already contributing heavily.
It’s also worth remembering how Social Security was originally designed. FDR sold it as a contributory retirement program, not a welfare program. Workers paid dedicated payroll taxes during their careers and earned benefits based on those contributions. The link between what you pay in and what you receive was a core principle of the system.
If the goal is to transform Social Security into a broader income redistribution program, that’s a debate worth having. But let’s be honest about what we’re changing.
The real challenge is that Americans are living longer, birth rates have fallen, and there are fewer workers supporting each retiree. That’s a demographic math problem, not simply a “tax the rich” problem.
Reasonable people can disagree on solutions, but slogans like “fair share” often create more heat than light.
@libsoftiktok@grok What is the probability of election fraud of some type here? Based on the voter surge for a distant 3rd place candidate after the Tuesday results and combined with no voter ID
For all who are complaining about the @SpaceX valuation for its IPO, it’s a free market. Don’t buy it.
For those who believe in future and @elonmusk , it’s a free market, buy it.
