Secretary of State Marco Rubio is launching an AI-fueled "Catch and Revoke" effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups, senior State Department officials tell Axios.

They say they're also checking news reports of anti-Israel demonstrations and Jewish students' lawsuits that highlight foreign nationals allegedly engaged in antisemitic activity without consequence.

The State Department is working with the departments of Justice and Homeland Security in what one senior State official called a "whole of government and whole of authority approach."

The big picture: The cumulative effect of Trump's executive orders is already having a chilling effect on student visa-holders. They're starting to shy away from protests critical of Israel.

The new proposal announced by Zelenskiy comes two days after French President Emmanuel Macron revealed that he was negotiating with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to offer a partial ceasefire similar to the one detailed by the Ukrainian leader, although only for one month. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot added that the intention of “a truce in the sky, at sea and in the energy infrastructure is to test whether Vladimir Putin has good intentions to seal a truce.”

I recently looked through the code in the Banjo-Kazooie decompilation project to check how the minigames work and to confirm the amount of rubberbanding AI. So here's how Mr. Vile's maximum speed changes compared to the player's (rounded to integer percentages) based on your lead in the score difference. In short: Mr. Vile is only faster than you when you're leading with two or more points and don't use the turbo trainers. I could also confirm that Boggy rubberbands, but that one is more complicated and will take some time to condense into an image 😅.

For anyone interested in the details: The code for Mr. Vile is in the BK decompilation project in src/BGS/ch/mrvile.c. The max speed is calculated in lines 376 to 386.

First it checks the score difference to set Mr. Viles base speed to 200, 310, 350 or 450 and then it multiplies it with 0.8, 0.9, 0.95 or 1.0 depending on the round. For comparison: the crocodile transformation's max speed is 375, or 500 with turbo trainers.

BTW, when you lose and he tries to bite you, his max speed gets set to 500 (line 413 in mrvile.c), so he's set to eventually outrun you even in turbo trainers.

I (17M) live with my father and grandma (84F). I got home from school today to find a package from my mother. I don't see or talk to her often (she lives across the country) and was unsure of what to expect - especially due to our strained relationship. I told my grandma that I was going to go downstairs and open it. She said that then I would just be carrying it up and down the stairs, so I told her that I was going down there anyway to do my schoolwork (I am autistic so I don't always understand implications or non-verbal cues). She told me to "open it up here" because she wanted to see what was inside. I was a bit uncomfortable because I had wanted to do this in private, but agreed and sat down in the living room to open it up.

I opened it and found some treats. I had already taken them out when my grandma came into the room. The next thing in the box was (ik it's stupid) my favorite pair of socks. I took them out and put them in my backpack when my grandma asked what it was. I replied that it was socks and she told me she wanted to see. I said that "it's just socks" and gestured to where they were visible on top of my schoolwork. She got upset and started going on about how I wouldn't share, was so secretive for no reason, etc.. I didn't respond because I figured she'd calm down. She left the room grumbling about me under her breath while I finished unpacking the box.

She came back in and demanded (angry, raised voice) I get out because she didn't want to see me. I got up to put the food away and she told me to get all my stuff because she didn't want it in there. I told her I'd be right back and left the room. She again started complaining about me and calling me names. I ignored her and grabbed the rest of my stuff from the room. She kept going on and as I was leaving, I finally turned around and asked "what did I even do?" She told me about how I was selfish, couldn't even do something simple for her, screwed stuff up, and was impossible to live with. I snapped a bit and yelled back that "I didn't even do anything!" and "wasn't trying to hide anything".

She got angrier and started mocking my words, waving her arms, fake crying. I lost my temper, yelled "fuck you". She yelled back something (Not repeating for my own sake) akin to "maybe [person] was right for [doing abusive thing]". Just last week, we were talking about my past and all the abuse I went through and mentioned the previously refered to behavior. I don't like talking about my childhood/past and have only recently started opening up about it which is very hard for me. A big reason I have never talked about it is because I'm terrified of someone knowing I'm weak and using that against me. That said, this hurt. I yelled things like "go fuck yourself" and called her a bitch before going downstairs.

I don't think I was the AH before this, but I really went off on her. I'm stuck between feeling guilty and angry. I feel bad for yelling, but also feel purposefuly provoked. AITA?

I'm (15M) black and I live in a predominantly white area and go to a mostly white school and I'm pretty introverted. I have a fro and the amount of people who will just up and try/ start touching my hair is wild. It's gotten to the point where it pisses me off. I met my bf Colt (15M) at a wrestling meet a few months ago and I let him play in my hair and I play in his curly jewfro. It's just kind of an intimate soothing thing between us.

We go to different schools so we don't hang around each others friends a whole lot. Saturday he was having like a movie marathon with some of his friends and he wanted me to come. While there one of his friends some white girl named Madison starts just playing in my hair saying it's softer than she thought. I immediately jerked back and asked her WTF are you doin? She tells me she just wanted to see what it was like. I snapped at her that I wasn't a damn dog and she gets all defensive saying she saw Colt doing it and thought it was ok. I yelled at her that I'm not dating her and went home.

Colt came over later and apologized for her ,but he says I didn't have to get so upset and go off on her like that. He says people come up to him trying to touch his jewfro to see what Jewish hair feels like all the time and he never took it that seriously.. I tell him it's kinda different but he still thinks I overreacted. AITA?

Edit: just so everyone knows I'm a guy
