An investigation by Oklahoma Watch reveals State Treasurer Todd Russ may be using a western Oklahoma satellite office as an unauthorized commuting hub, racking up thousands in fuel costs on a state vehicle. Read the full story: https://ow.ly/7y5O50Z74pw

Garth covering Bob (and making it onto the Hope Floats soundtrack in 1998): m.youtube.com/watch?v=EkO1...

this is one of those “at all costs, avoid this outcome” outcomes

My expectation at this point is that Mazzei will win the primary without a runoff.

underrated Stones decade, and the last decade until the 20s (assuming Foreign Tongues is as good as I think it'll be) when "best Stones record" is a legitimate competition

The kids are rediscovering hacky sack by the way. Something to keep an eye on.

Still genuinely stunned at this first Stones single off Foreign Tongues: m.youtube.com/watch?v=yd62...

Misspelled Mullin Mullins throughout but the point remains.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

My theory on Mazzei is that Trump was always going to endorse whoever Mullins told him to and Mullins picked Mazzei because Mullins thinks Mazzei will be easiest to beat in 2030.

I will never stop laughing at the fact that Trump calls Springsteen washed-up but his administration just tried to book Milli Vanilli and could not pull it off.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The Oklahoma Legislature accidentally repealed the medical marijuana licensing moratorium for 2 weeks in August. More TK.

Of all Trump’s weird new tics this season, calling America “the hottest country on earth” is a real headscratcher.

It appears the Oklahoma Legislature is about to legalize the sale of fireworks year round and repeal the ban on bottle rockets.

this truly is the thing that makes the united states exceptional, and right wingers hate it so much they want to destroy it

this is what we call a homeboy

No disrespect intended to Weezer, Ray, the Byrds, Gladys, SRV, or Taylor, but Beauty and the Beat is the best thing on this list.

Micky Dolenz, the last surviving Monkee at 81, walked onstage in a fedora, purple-tinted glasses, a gray suit over a pale blue teeshirt, and a fuchsia scarf. He looked like Elton John playing a dapper private eye. He proceeded to rock the Tulsa Theater. thepickup.com/only-monkee-...

I wrote about Micky Dolenz and the Monkees (the most perfectly underrated band in rock and roll history) for @thepickupdotcom.bsky.social.

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

Keep going, brother, you're almost there.

thunderstruck sounds like a song the gremlins from gremlins would make if you locked them in a Guitar Center

Anytime you find yourself going mad with power, that’s a great time to ask, ‘Wait a second here, could the gods be wishing my destruction?’

Odysseus was the world’s first special operator but a lot of you aren’t ready for that discussion

Oof

Thing is, the secret theme of The X-Files is globalization eradicating the last traces of an old, weird America that was already gone by like 1999.

Liz Lemon, you should come to the Knicks game with me and this skinny French dude Tommy Chameleon.

One of the only contemporary works of art Cormac McCarthy ever publicly praised was Ralph Fiennes’s performance of Hamlet in 1995. I’ve been looking for clips for years, and finally found some: m.youtube.com/watch?v=p72f...

Hats off, heads down, volume up.

Fortunato (coughing): You’re certain the Criterion Closet is down here Montresor (picking up a trowel): Definitely. Have you thought about your picks yet

Dylan covers I heard in Austin this past weekend: “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues” (off Highway 61, by Bill Kirchen) “The Times They Are A-Changin’” (off the same-titled record, also by Bill Kirchen) “Chimes of Freedom” (off Another Side, by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band)

New Thomas McGuane story in this last week’s New Yorker was a real gem.

Shakespeare's birthday. That is, an actor who was in London by 1592. He was probably very good. He wrote at least 37 plays, depending how you count. They made him so famous his name sold tickets. People gossiped, told jokes about him, envied him. He was a skilled producer. His plays made him rich.

No Country for Old Men was 9/11, There Will Be Blood was Emo.

R.A. Lafferty captured a city that doesn’t really exist anymore. And maybe never even existed at all. David Chandler explored the life and impact of the obscure sci-fi author who became Tulsa’s tall-tale biographer:
