The Siege of the Alamo began February 23, 1836, when General Santa Anna's forces surrounded the fortified mission in San Antonio, home to leaders like James Bowie and Davy Crockett. For 13 days, the outnumbered defenders held out under heavy fire until a pre-dawn assault on March 6 overwhelmed them, killing nearly all. Though a loss, their stand inspired the 'Remember the Alamo!' cry that led to Texas victory at San Jacinto. Today, the 190th anniversary draws reflections on the chapel's legacy, family visits, and planned reenactments through March 6.

Key Takeaway

On a crisp morning in 1836, about 200 Texian defenders inside the old mission faced down 1,500 Mexican troops demanding surrender. Lt. Col. William B. Travis fired back—with a cannon shot and his 'Victory or Death' letter.

DappRadar, the platform that monitored decentralized applications across over 90 blockchains, announced its closure on Monday after launching in 2018 during the CryptoKitties surge. Founders Skirmantas Januškas and Dragos Dunica stated that revenues from RADAR token staking and advertising failed to offset infrastructure costs for indexing 18,000 dApps and serving 500,000 monthly users. The shutdown caused a 30-38% drop in the $RADAR token price to $0.00072, prompting community reactions including acquisition offers and critiques of crypto incentives.

The Republican-controlled Arizona Senate approved Senate Bill 1010 on February 18, designating the 78-mile Loop 202 freeway as the 'Charlie Kirk Highway' in memory of Kirk, who was assassinated on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University. Sponsored by senators like Rick Petersen and Jake Hoffman, the bill passed on party lines and now awaits House approval; it requires signage from the Arizona Department of Transportation without changing other names. Lawmakers also advanced a specialty license plate memorializing Kirk, with proceeds partly funding a Turning Point USA-aligned nonprofit, amid a divided government where Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' office offered no comment.

Key Takeaway

Nearly six months after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed by a sniper, Arizona Republicans moved to honor him by renaming a major Phoenix freeway after the Turning Point USA founder.

The league handed Brooks a one-game ban without pay after the call came with 6:37 left in the second quarter of Phoenix's 136-109 defeat to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. He'll miss the Suns' Feb. 19 road game against the San Antonio Spurs, costing him about $121,403 from his $21.1 million salary. Brooks leads the NBA with 16 techs this season—tops ahead of Luka Doncic's 13—and vented postgame about inconsistent officiating from ref James Williams, saying refs see him as either victim or bad guy. For a .500 Suns team chasing playoffs, his edge on defense matters, but the tech pace raises discipline questions as he returns Feb. 21 versus the Magic.

Key Takeaway

Dillon Brooks hit his 16th technical foul in a blowout loss to the Thunder, triggering an automatic NBA suspension just before the All-Star break.
