In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
Never been to a Buc-ee’s.
Never plan on going to this one.
Buc-ee’s owner is a big Texas A&M donor. They ain’t getting my money.
In summary…get your gas at Love’s.
Sam Presti opens by congratulating Russell Westbrook on his Hall of Fame career.
As far as how the Thunder is going to honor him:
“We don’t have a certain plan yet but we are working on it.”
Presti says that on November 2nd, Russell Westbrook will be honored by The Memorial.
Growing up, whenever I traveled abroad and told people I was from Oklahoma City, I almost always heard the same response:
“Oh…OKC. Timothy McVeigh. The bombing.”
That was our legacy. Known around the world for the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.
For a long time, it felt like we’d always be remembered for that tragedy.
But then, something changed.
Around the early 2010s, I’d tell people I was from OKC, and they’d say:
“Oh, Kevin Durant! Russell Westbrook! The Thunder, such a great team.”
The Thunder didn’t just bring basketball to Oklahoma City. They brought healing. Identity. Pride. A new story to tell.
The entire downtown has been transformed around the Thunder arena.
They helped turn the page. From pain to possibility. From being defined by tragedy to being united by something hopeful.
So when you see me hyped about this team, just know: it’s not just about sports.
It’s about a city that rebuilt itself from the rubble. A community that found new life through shared hope and purpose.
That’s the power of sports.
With all the tragedy and hardship in the world, we get these brief moments of joy and unity together as a community for a common cause. Our team, our city.
Thank you Thunder, the 2025 NBA Champions!
@BarristeredOK@JVR405 If you’re a fan, why wouldn’t you want to participate in something fans are included in? It does feel like a contrarian take honestly.
“I don’t wanna cause everyone else says to”

As someone who graduated in broadcast journalism and worked in broadcast news for five years.
To any “independent journalists” out there.
If you can’t bother to use GOOGLE IMAGES to search for shit then you seriously need to reconsider “journalism”.
