Hell of a ride for Texas Basketball. Impossible not to be excited about the future of this program. Thank y’all for following along this season.

Wow. Jordan Pope reveals in the postgame presser that he broke his foot against Gonzaga. A complete break.
Still came out to play tonight against Purdue.

Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina. He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.
Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized.

Hello Senator Schumer,
Could you please provide citations to support the claim that Texas ran out of funding for MMR vaccines? According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there are numerous providers currently offering free or low-cost MMR vaccinations to both adults and children (see attached map).
If you intend to attribute the measles outbreak to state spending cuts, I urge you to directly connect the budget reductions to specific gaps in vaccine availability. Without that connection, your argument is merely emotional and unnecessarily divisive. Local spending does not need to be re-routed through the federal government.
I'm going to call it right now. A lot of stuff is going to break on this mission.
By design.
As part of the plan.
Don't get upset. I'm not saying SpaceX plans to fail. I'm pointing out that SpaceX has taken an ultraimportant principle from software engineering, and realized it applies to all engineering.
Feedback beats planning.
And that, you see, is why SpaceX doesn't do things the NASA way. The NASA way was to gold-plate everything, plan and test and plan and test, and generate mountains of paper detailing every contingency, with every scenario prepared for.
SpaceX just shrugs, says "it's unmanned", and sends it.
Half the time it blows up. That's the whole point. They don't actually want it to blow up, of course, but they're anticipating that it might.
That possibility is part of the plan. Because one rocket blowing up, or crashing, in an actual end-to-end test, beats many, many man-years of planning and plotting.
The key realization here is that knowledge only comes from empirical observation. Everything else is just speculative.
The sooner you get into a feedback loop, and the faster you run it, the more iterations you can do in less time. This means, while others are planning and speculating, you actually learn something.
Relevant data is the most precious thing in the universe. And it's worth blowing up any number of rockets to get it.
Because rockets are just stuff. They're just made of stuff. And you can always get more stuff.
You can never get more time.
So expect to see a lot of things go wrong on this, and other SpaceX missions. Anticipate it. Accept it when it happens. Doesn't mean the dream of the stars is dead.
It just means we're doing it cowboy style.
This is a valuable lesson for our own lives. If there's something you want to do, something you want to try, some goal you have, it's easy to dip a toe in the water, test the temperature, and plan. A lot.
Planning makes us feel good if we're afraid. Because it provides us with the illusion of security. Never mind that we don't know which scenarios are actually going to happen, never mind that we're planning for the wrong thing, planning makes us feel safe. And if we're nervous, we can plan forever.
But the difference between the expert and the novice isn't theory or intelligence or plans. It's relevant domain knowledge. Gathered from empirical observation.
So the trick is to get into that feedback loop as soon as possible, and run it as fast as possible. Give yourself the most possible opportunities to learn, per unit time.
We only learn while we are moving.

As someone that ran Riker’s Island for close to six years, overseeing more than 130,000 inmate admissions per year, I can tell you that this is an extremely dangerous practice.
This will lead to inmate on inmate violence, sexual, assaults, and inmate on staff violence!
A deadly mistake!
