Self responds to ‘We want Flory’ chants in Adams’ return to lineup – KU Sports
Later, Self said that fans who get frustrated with Harris or Adams, both longtime fixtures of the KU program, “don’t see the big picture.” “He can just do so many different things because he’s so athletic and strong and he can hold people off and guard 1 through 5,” he said of Adams.
KU curtails ISU’s offense in 69-52 victory – KU Sports
In the first half, only one team’s desperation translated to making shots. The Cyclones converted just eight of their 34 attempts from the field over the course of the first 20 minutes, and took far too long to develop any sort of shooting touch in the second. In addition, despite grabbing 17 offensive rebounds on the night, they converted those into a mere 10 second-chance points.

A Coup Is In Progress In America | Techdirt
The president openly declares he won’t enforce laws he dislikes, while Congress watches in complicit silence. This isn’t happening through tanks in the streets or soldiers at government buildings—it’s occurring through the systematic dismantling of constitutional governance and its replacement with a system of personal loyalty to private interests. Those who resist are being removed, while those who enable this transformation are being rewarded with unprecedented control over government functions. The time for euphemisms and careful hedging has passed. We are watching, in real time, the conversion of constitutional democracy into something darker and more dangerous. To pretend otherwise isn’t prudence—it’s complicity.

Can anyone stop President Musk? | The Verge
Did I get everything? Probably not. For instance, Musk has made statements that he “deleted” a department, for instance, but since he’s a known liar, that may not be true. Between whatever Musk is posting about on X, the pace at which events are occurring, and the general confusion among government employees, giving a full summation of events is impossible. Perhaps between the time this is published and you read it, there will be more bullshit.
