Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

@texasrunnerDFW And they likely didn’t listen to the pricing advice from their realtor.

It’s amusing when someone hypes up their home listing, blasting it all over Social Media, open houses daily, etc Then a few days later, a nearby home that’s similar in size with nicer features quietly lists for $25,000 less The quiet listing sells quickly. The loud listing is followed by even louder posts of, “Why is the market so bad?” “Why won’t my home sell?” “5k PRICE IMPROVEMENT” PSA: Spend more time understanding the market and less time on marketing

@AnaBellMedia Tim’s for a cheeseburger and cherry Dr Pepper

Went with Barrios for dinner. Another superb restaurant. 🤌 Feel like I’m on a generational run of OKC food. Where to tomorrow for an off day?!

@AnaBellMedia Go to the art museum and cowboy hall of fame?

OKC is impressing me so far… Braum’s is fire and Bricktown Brewery 10/10. 🔥

@his4Everz Ozarka or bust. No one drinks Aquafina or Dasani.

Neurodivergent friends, does water have a taste? To me, even bottled waters all taste different.

@Matt_Pinner Here’s a quarter, call someone who cares 🎶🎶🎶

I honestly don’t remember. Do you?

@mattapesos @stevemagness “No swimming allowed on game days”.

@stevemagness Because sometimes the fun is in the whole experience. "Let's make a mini vacation out of it!"

Can someone explain why some 10 year old needs to travel hundreds of miles for competition that they almost certainly could have found locally? Travel leagues for youth sports should be banned.

@stevemagness Private Equity in kid sports

@TS_Secrets Private Equity and the parents… but your kids benefit by being involved in activities and exercise with like-minded people from diverse backgrounds.

Tell me again how clubs, teams, and travel teams aren't scams? My $ 80-per-season son's soccer team beat a $ 5k-per-kid club team. Somewhere along the way, youth sports stopped being about kids and started being about parents. Club sports promise: • better coaching • more exposure • better competition • scholarships But the numbers tell a different story. Only about 1% of high school athletes get a college athletic scholarship. And most of those aren’t even full rides. Meanwhile, families are spending: • $3k–$7k a year on club teams • travel flights • hotels every weekend • private trainers • camps Over 10 years, that’s easily $50k+ per kid. For youth soccer. At 10 years old. Meanwhile, rec sports still do what youth sports were originally meant to do: Kids play with friends. Parents sit in lawn chairs. Everyone grabs pizza after the game. Low pressure. Pure fun. And kids who love the game usually end up getting better anyway. Our $80 rec team proved that last weekend. So I’m curious… Are travel sports actually for the kids…

@Hoopss Ingenuity and raising your kids right

What do you call this?

@sweatystartup Ask again why people are going back to hotels over Uber…

Rented a 7 bedroom mansion on Airbnb. Wish I would have rented a shitty hotel room.

@jackfriks Standing desk

what’s a material thing under $1000 you’ve bought that actually changed your life?

@texasrunnerDFW Why were there 2 front doors? Beautiful update. I prefer the white but even if they’d kept the red brick, it needed a facelift with new windows, doors, etc.

Am I the only one who prefers traditional red brick? Something about it is more cozy

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@soigomaa Empathy is a super power mistaken for weakness.

A Harvard neurologist once told her class something that made half the room laugh, until she showed the scans. "People who cry easily," she said,"have a faster emotional-processing loop than the general population." Their mirror-neuron system fires quicker, their insula lights up more intensely, and their brain decodes micro-signals before others even register them. What looks like "sensitivity" is actually hyper-efficient pattern recognition.

I always appreciate a good callback to the best ad ever ran against Ken Paxton. This was from Justin Nelson, the Democrat who ran against Paxton in 2018 and only lost by 3.5%, the second-best result for a Texas Democrat in decades (after Beto that year).

@SteveSkojec One of our local bars has a “silent book club” that does this. Local-owned over big Corp chains and PE playbook ownership… they are driving new ideas and getting people in the door. Similarly, I see people out enjoying trivia or singo sans alcohol. tanglewoodresort.com/silentbookclub

I know I’m on repeat, but there really need to be more cozy evening hangout spots for people who live alone to grab a cup of tea, sit in a comfy chair, and read a book with other humans around. This “Everything closes by 6PM but bars” thing is the worst.

@Dale_Chu @jackiemader @nytimes Then good luck preparing her for the world. I need apps for medical appointments, email communication, and - importantly - work to feed my family. Limits instead of total bans would help your child access tech responsibly.

“I’ve done everything I can to shepherd her through this world that’s already so technology-driven, to shield her childhood, to have her have a normal, analog childhood. And I just handed her off to a school district, and they destroyed that within three months.”

Most underrated cities I've ever spent time in Bentonville, Arkansas Draper, Utah Boulder, Colorado Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Tampa, Florida Dallas, Texas Nobody talks about these as top places for jobs or entrepreneurship All of them surprised me

When Jorge Borrego designed the voucher plan, he promised it would help working-class families. But the data shows almost 80% of applicants already attend private schools. This was never about helping the 5.5 million kids in Texas public schools. This plan creates government handouts for those who can already afford private school tuition—while taking funding away from the schools that need it most like Judson ISD in #HD118. sacurrent.com/news/majority-…
