Kingfisher battled size and adversity to make it at least one more day in this basketball season. The Lady Jackets came from behind Thursday to beat Sallisaw 48-42 in a Class 4A area consolation game at Noble High School. It was the first of three straight wins KHS needed over the weekend to make a return trip to the state tournament. The second opportunity arrived Friday afternoon (after press time) against Oologah. Sallisaw featured a pair of post players in Addyson Gream and Madison Bolin that proved more than a handful.

Shortly before Google introduced Bard, its AI chatbot, to the public in March, it asked employees to test the tool. One worker's conclusion: Bard was "a pathological liar,' according to screenshots of the internal discussion. Another called it "cringe-worthy.' One employee wrote that when they asked Bard suggestions for how to land a plane, it regularly gave advice that would lead to a crash; another said it gave answers on scuba diving "which would likely result in serious injury or death.' Google launched Bard anyway.

MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russians were united in a 'sacred' fight with the West over Ukraine that would end in victory, and accused the United States and its allies of forgetting the Soviet triumph over the Nazis in World War Two. Putin has repeatedly likened the war in Ukraine – which he casts as a defensive move against a West which wants to carve up Russia – to the challenge Moscow faced when Adolf Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. 'The decisive battles for the fate of our Motherland have always become patriotic, all-national and sacred,' the 70-year-old president told veterans and soldiers assembled on Red Square for the annual Victory Day parade.

All three major U.S. stock indexes lost more than 1 percent at the close of a broad risk-off session as investors digested Powell's prepared remarks, and his responses to questions from the Senate Banking Committee.
