I was told by friends who attended public school in OK that this event was not a part of the state history curriculum, which seems both bonkers and completely unsurprising. Can anyone from OK provide perspective?

The hemp ban is an absolute travesty for thousands of Kentucky farmers and their workers who depend on regulatory certainty for their business model.

I felt the need to get neighbors together. So I met a new neighbor and she was willing to help. Tonight we handed out flyers and next week we’re gonna gather for good. Shoulda done this sooner.

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.

We have reached a verdict: Not guilty.

The Brewers are a better team than that. I'm sorry for them, and sorry for Milwaukee. They will be back. As for Ohtani, I think - and I am not exaggerating - that after eight years in the league he assured his spot in the Hall of Fame last night. He is that great a player.
