It's almost this blabber generator is not something our entire existence should revolve around.

Hilarious that this error is related to that controversy about the Macabbi Tell Aviv football club. Police seemingly doing nothing but fucking up

Edit: resetera is on it:

It might get lost in this a bit because the sentiment on Era is going to want to be 'fuck AI' but this is part of a larger 'issue' in the UK where people are desperately seeking to blame the police for banning violent Zionist football thugs from coming to the UK for a football match.

The reporting around this is not to denegrate AI, but to suggest this stance was wrong, anti-semitic and driven by a lack of insight and intelligence on the part of the police, so this one thread of the AI result is being used to colour the entire process and decision.

They just should have come to that decision on their own, and its ridiculous that co-pilot made the mistake it did, but I just wanted to provide wider context especially for the non-Europeans entering into this discussion who wont know why this news is being pushed so much in the UK right now.

Of course no mention that a lot of the information surrounding the Tel Aviv fans was fake or exaggerated and that the police was more worried about the locals arming up

Gemini's answer/response to this when I probed it was:

>>>>This is a complex and developing situation involving a conflict between the federal government and specific states. Based on the reports from January 2026, here is an explanation of what is happening and how it affects benefits like food stamps (SNAP) and disability.
The Short Answer

Does this threaten food stamps? Yes. The administration has explicitly threatened to withhold SNAP (food stamp) funding or administrative funds from states that do not comply with demands for recipient data.
Does this threaten disability money? It depends on the type. State-administered disability benefits could be at risk if they are part of the targeted "block grants." However, direct federal benefits like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and SSI are generally paid directly to you by the Social Security Administration and are typically harder for the White House to freeze via state funding cuts.
Is it legal? This is currently being fought in court. Federal judges have already issued rulings blocking some of these cuts, calling them unconstitutional.
Detailed Breakdown

1. What does the article mean?

The "defunding" threats generally refer to the Executive Branch using its power to withhold federal money to force "sanctuary" jurisdictions (cities and states that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement) to comply with new policies.
The Tactic: The White House is arguing that states like California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York are failing to prevent "fraud" by not providing detailed data on recipients (specifically to check for immigration status).
The Penalty: As punishment, the administration has moved to freeze or withhold billions of dollars in federal grants that these states use to pay for safety-net programs.
2. Impact on Food Stamps (SNAP)

This is one of the primary targets.
The Threat: In December 2025 and January 2026, the administration announced it would withhold SNAP funds from Democratic-led states unless they handed over sensitive data about recipients.
The Reality: If funds are withheld, states may struggle to administer the program or pay out benefits. However, federal courts have intervened. As of mid-January 2026, judges have blocked many of these freezes, meaning the money should legally continue to flow while the lawsuits proceed.
The Risk: If the administration ignores court orders or finds legal loopholes (like stalling administrative payments), there could be temporary delays or disruptions in benefits for everyone in those states, even U.S. citizens entitled to them by law.
3. Impact on Disability Money

Direct Federal Benefits (SSDI / SSI): These are usually safe from this specific type of "sanctuary city" defunding because they are federal entitlements sent directly to individuals, not grants given to the state to distribute.
State-Run Disability Programs: If you receive state-level disability assistance or services funded by federal "block grants" (like the Social Services Block Grant), these funds are being targeted.
Medicaid: There have also been threats to Medicaid funding in these disputes. Since Medicaid is often tied to disability services, this is an area of concern, though protecting these funds is a high priority in the ongoing lawsuits.
Summary

The administration is indeed trying to cut off this funding, arguing they are stopping "fraud." States and courts are arguing that these cuts illegally harm eligible citizens (like you). Currently, court orders are protecting these payments, but the political and legal battle is creating uncertainty.

And nobody cares.

I've been really taking my time to sink my teeth into this game and get the emulation settings tweaked just right and now with the latest Edens at 64x AA and 4K 144 Hz with RTX HDR on my RTX 5090, the game is just a jewel to behold. I have some gameplay of the frozen level and this shit is unbelievably next-gen looking at points, I think it's by far the most impressive Switch game I've ever seen emulated. If you want to take a peek at what this is like at max Eden settings at 4K 144 Hz (though YouTube only allows up to 2160p60fps) here's some of my gameplay from Eden.

I ironically am not that far on my Switch 2 copy, can't get past those dumb androids in the thunderstorm level lol. But with Steam input + gyroscope tweaking and motion controls on dual-stick controls, I've been able to sing past the game's challenge bumps on my emulation run.

This was a good movie and Sweeney was excellent in it.

Vern addresses the Sweeney controversy in his review:

They could be right. They seem to be basing it on dubious interpretations of press tour tea leaves and internet hearsay, and there's a blatantly misogynistic zeal to the shaming that fits a very familiar historic pattern, but all of that could be true and she could still be a right wing jerk. If so she seems to be Jar-Jar-Binksing her way into a filmography of progressive-themed movies: the whistleblower movie REALITY, the revisionist neo-western AMERICANA, and of course IMMACULATE, the aggressively pro-reproductive-rights horror movie that was very much her baby. She remembered the script from a failed audition and liked it so much that years later when it hadn't gotten off the ground she got the rights and produced it herself. And now she did CHRISTY.

...I will defer to one person who felt Sweeney was the best choice for the role: the actual Christy Salters..."The past few days I have seen some people attack my friend Sydney Sweeney. Syd not only worked her ass off for this film, she worked her ass off for me. For my story. For so many others suffering in silence. So I want to be clear about who Syd is. She is my friend and ally!"

If Sweeney is some MAGA queen it's too bad it didn't work. Those people really could learn something from CHRISTY! Let's recap what happens in it. Starting like a minute in it's a story about a lesbian being pressured by her conservative family, town and religion to deny her true self. She goes to train with a sexist asshole who mocks women being in sports, and even after he changes his mind on that he still makes her say on TV that she's not a feminist. Every time someone calls her pretty or tries to make her play up her looks it feels dirty. Every time she sleeps with a man it's nasty and unnatural. When her husband abuses her her mom sides with the husband and her male friends don't know how to help. The people there for her are her lesbian ex and her lesbian opponent, who's also the conscience of the movie who tries to help her be less of an asshole. The most triumphant moments are speaking against her abuser in court and coming out – there's more emphasis on those than on the victories in the ring. That's one of the many reasons I think this is a great movie – it works as formula, while accomplishing something very different.

there's a blatantly misogynistic zeal to the shaming that fits a very familiar historic pattern,

It does raise questions as to white Atreus is so white

It really doesn't. As someone who is mixed race, has a father who looks Black, and is so pale skinned that I burn on cloudy days it's not that strange. My sister on the other hand is dark skinned. Two of my kids are olive skinned, and my youngest has light colored hair and blue eyes. Genes get expressed in all kinds of ways.

I thought he was gray. I know he was voiced by a black fella though.

I mean, while Kratos' voice actors have been black, the character is white.

Should have been Greek. Never thought of Greek people or olive skinned people as not being white so don't see it has white washing.

Two black actors. Both very good.

For the record, I don’t mind how people perceive Kratos and who portrays him.

Is just funny how the casting is neither olive Greek or Black, so it doesn’t support either identity politics paradigm.

Apparently her stupid novels massively influenced staffers on the Reagan Administration. The current administration is just that on steroids really.

The craziness is that she railed against social programs yet was kept alive by them in her old age.

Her philosophies also helped decimate unions, worker protections, etc. what a generational villain.

No, it's not.

What's actually dangerous is setting a precedent for actors to sign over their voices to be used in AI generated voice acting because it it will, without question, lead to an environment where it's more difficult for voice actors to get jobs if they don't agree to it.

It's why the "but they got paid for it" defense that so often shows up in these discussion is irrelevant nonsense.
