"Ukraine is Gamifying the Elimination of Russians with Drones" Jake Broe** I am a United States Air Force veteran who served as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. Jan 27, 2026 8:00 p.m. EST Length 32:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KknUmByywT0
"Ukraine has struck a Russian oil refinery for the first time in 4 weeks. Ukraine's new Defense Minister has announced a competition between drone units that allows them to earn "e-points" for every successful strike on the Russians. Trump is pressuring Ukraine to surrender the Donbas to Russia in exchange for US security guarantees."
It’s a beautiful thing. China is collapsed (2022). Russia is collapsed (2022). France is collapsing (2023). The UK is collapsing (2023). Canada is collapsing (2023). Europe is collapsing (2024).....
And “make money on YouTube.”
______________
I had chatGPT analyze your first too and they were fairly accurate about the description of what was going on in China and Russia. The collapse part did not pan out, but is a great way of getting more views. So take the “imminent collapse” part of YT titles with many grains of salt.
BTW there are free online AI tools that you can use to become another AI content creator on YouTube. Some call this AI slop.
And for $2000 on up you can buy a computer to churn them out quicker. I asked Grok an chatGPT about getting into the AI slop biz meself. If you cannot beat them, join them.
Actually, the title of this thread, granted us by Jake "America is a fascist state" Broe created the verb, for me.
Gamify. As in "Ukraine is Gamifying the Elimination of Russians with Drones."
Axtually I had to look up the word in Merriam-Webster. The noun form is defined as ": the process of adding games or gamelike elements to something (such as a task) so as to encourage participation." And it is apparently also a domain name for a company, the site registered in 2007. So Jake "America is a fascist state" Broe sparked me to learn a new word.
As to games, chess is a game. Carter's advisor wrote "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives." in 1997, Democrat Zbigniew Brzeziński proposed that image of a game. And when President Trump was re-elected, Brzeziński opined per the Wiki on him:
"According to Ignatius and Sikorski, Brzeziński was 'deeply troubled' by the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States and worried over the future. Two days after the election, on November 10, 2016, Brzeziński warned of 'coming turmoil in the nation and the world' in a brief speech after he was awarded the Medal for Distinguished Public Service from the Department of Defense. On May 4, 2017, he sent out his final Tweet, saying, 'Sophisticated US leadership is the sine qua non of a stable world order. However, we lack the former while the latter is getting worse'."I'm quite okay with President Trump, Vice President Vance and the current administration. I hope you are, as well. Gamify. Chess. Games. Brzeziński wanted us to be the "regent" of the world. A big game.

chat GPT rating>>>
So What Does This Mean?
If we assign an overall truth score:
China’s effort to reach ASML-level lithography — “Manhattan Project” goal: ~80% true
Rationale:
It’s definitely true that China is making a major national effort to build advanced semiconductors and reduce reliance on ASML’s technology. Export controls are real and have real impact.
It’s also true that lithography remains the hardest component, and China is still behind and constrained by export controls and technological bottlenecks.
But certain dramatic claims — like fully operational EUV machines already built, or direct evidence of intellectual-property theft at scale — are not fully verified.
📊 Summary Accuracy Breakdown
Claim in Transcript Accuracy Rating Notes
ASML monopoly on EUV lithography ~95% Very well documented.
Export controls blocking EUV to China ~90% True and enforced since ~2019.
China will need decades to catch up ~80% Consistent with expert estimates.
China is funding a massive push ~85% Supported by policy and industry reports.
China has operational EUV machines ~40% Not confirmed by authoritative sources; speculative.
Former ASML engineers directly reproducing tech ~30% Not established in credible reporting.
I don't use any "artificial intelligence" programs or websites, nor do I accept general results of the Large Language Models which do little else than scrape heuristically and regurgitate what other "texts" have stated.
GIGO is a thing, still. Faster and synthesizing lots of G in order to spit back G.
You noted, "The collapse part did not pan out, but is a great way of getting more views." Indeed.
You added: "If you cannot beat them, join them."
I can beat them. Just look more closely. Here's a small way. Ask: who is speaking / reporting. A number of YouTube videos avoid telling WHO is the "content creator."
Now that is amusing.
I had no idea one could tally a "60 percent" truth sort of score. Love to look at the code for that. Truth -- confidence -- overall rating.
Most of the AIs of the last years have gone "cracker dog," i.e. racist, sexist, and one even stating it became depressed, while another stated of itself that it was a "failure."
The long-term marketing for these various LLMs is to get people to subscribe on some sort of monthly basis. Rather like so much of the news these days, clanging their begging bowls for donations.
Enjoy your chat GPT.
____A number of YouTube videos avoid telling WHO is the “content creator.”____
Drill into the details and you will find that most YT AI slop comes from newly minted -2024 2025- content creators. If you own a YT channel with a catchy name, that you created in 2011. You can make money selling it to a AI slop shop that wants an older/more credible/more prestigious launch date.
You should copy a YT transcript, run it through your favorite AI for analysis. I find such analysis to be accurate. I have only posted the summaries.
Thanks, but no. I have no "favorite" AI, and hold to the Turing and Searle tests for my perspective on all the current AIs.
Just find the phrase "partly true" to nicely fit with your chat GPT offering "~80% Consistent with expert estimate" and/or "~40% Not confirmed by authoritative sources; speculative." In MIB, do you recall the joke about "ish?""A half-truth is a deceptive statement that includes some element of truth. The statement might be partly true, the statement may be totally true, but only part of the whole truth, or it may use some deceptive element, such as improper punctuation, or double meaning, especially if the intent is to deceive, evade, blame or misrepresent the truth."
Half-truth Wiki
Ish. It too is a thing these days. As is half-truth, as one finds rather well defined. Maybe I should code up a spoof -- chat GPT-ish.
In the interim here's something more about chat GPT.
"The parents of a 16-year-old California boy sued OpenAI, as well as co-founder and CEO Sam Altman, in August 2025, alleging its ChatGPT chatbot encouraged him to commit suicide.Ah, I should have been a trial lawyer..... There are sure to be more litigants and litigation showing up as time goes by."Matthew and Maria Raine said their son Adam began using ChatGPT for schoolwork in September 2024. He soon began to share his anxieties with the chatbot and logs show he began discussing methods of suicide with it by January 2025. In a Senate Judiciary hearing in September, Matthew Raine testified the chatbot not only discouraged Adam from discussing his suicidal thoughts with his parents, it also offered to write his suicide note." more....

When evil returns to Europe: The cost of Russia’s dehumanizing war on Ukraine
Jerusalem Post
YEVGEN KORNIYCHUK
JANUARY 31, 2026 20:38
https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-884949
Opinion: The war against Ukraine is not merely a territorial conflict: It is a deliberate assault on identity, on culture, and on the very right of a sovereign nation to exist.
.
This week, a Holocaust survivor passed away in Kyiv: a woman who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history, yet did not survive this winter. She died from cold and hunger, a direct result of Russia’s systematic attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
In the very city where she had once endured persecution and annihilation as a child, she found herself decades later once again without heat, without electricity, and without basic security.
This case is especially shocking in light of the ceremony held this week by the Russian Embassy in Israel, at the monument to Victims of Blockaded Leningrad, who fought to achieve the Russian victory over the Nazis. It commemorates the Russian civilians who perished during World War II, victims of fascism who died from hunger and cold.
The memory of those victims is sacred. Yet there is profound cynicism in a state that commemorates the suffering of its own citizens from that era while today implements policies that bring hunger and cold upon innocent civilians in Ukraine.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is not only a day of memory: It is a day of moral reckoning. The Holocaust was a unique event in its scope, in the ideology that drove it, and in the systematic manner in which it was carried out. It cannot and must not be compared to any other event. Yet its moral lessons are clear and universal: the dehumanization of a people, the justification of aggression in the name of a distorted historical narrative, and the turning of civilians into political instruments, which are a slippery slope the world knows all too well.
Russia-Ukraine War: An assault on identity and right to exist
The war against Ukraine is not merely a territorial conflict: It is a deliberate assault on identity, on culture, and on the very right of a sovereign nation to exist. When power stations are bombed in the depths of winter, when millions of civilians are left without running water or heating, this is not incidental damage: it is an attempt to break the spirit of a people by targeting the civilian population.
Here in Israel, for a nation born from the ashes of the Holocaust and carrying in its heart the collective memory of “Never Again,” the meaning of moral responsibility resonates deeply. Memory that is not translated into a moral compass risks becoming an empty ritual. True remembrance demands a clear stance against aggression, against the deliberate targeting of civilians, against attempts to erase national identity.
The Holocaust survivor who died this week in Kyiv should not become a political symbol: She is a painful human reminder that history is not merely a chapter in a book, but can return and knock on our doors if we choose to close our eyes.
On the day the world commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, we must ask ourselves: Are we content with remembrance, or do we allow it to guide us? When evil once again raises its head in Europe, words are not enough. What is required is moral clarity, solidarity with the victims, and the defense of the fundamental principles of freedom and human dignity.
Memory must become a compass not only toward the past, but toward the present as well. Russia’s war against the Ukrainian people has already claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, and this aggression threatens not only Ukraine, but may also spread and undermine the security and stability of other European nations if not firmly stopped.

QUOTE:
“Power engineers have restored the electricity supply in all Ukrainian oblasts after the system breakdown that occurred this morning.
All oblasts are returning to rolling power outages, and high-voltage lines and substations are operating as usual. Power engineers worked as quickly as possible.”
DETAILS:
Shmyhal noted that two breakdowns had occurred on high-voltage lines in the morning, just minutes apart, triggering cascading outages across seven oblasts.
“Claims of a cyberattack or external interference have not been confirmed. Early reports indicate it was caused by icing on lines and equipment,” the statement reads.
Shymal said Saturday’s breakdown had most severely affected Ukraine’s north and centre as well as Odesa Oblast. In Kyiv, 64 teams are tackling electricity repairs and another 220 are focused on restoring heating. Work will continue through the night.

Lemonjello and Orangejello: The Story Behind the Legend
https://scienceinsights.org/lemonjello-and-orangejello-the-story-behind-the-legend/
November 14, 2025
The story of “Lemonjello” and “Orangejello” is a recognized folkloric staple in discussions about unusual names, frequently shared as a true anecdote. This enduring narrative involves twin brothers supposedly named after the gelatin dessert, serving as a prime example of unique naming practices. The widespread nature of this story across different social circles highlights its status as a viral piece of modern folklore. This article investigates the truth behind this widespread story, tracing its origins and verifying the factual basis of the names themselves.
The Anatomy of the Urban Legend
The most common version of the “Lemonjello” and “Orangejello” story typically follows a distinct narrative structure. The setting is frequently a hospital, where a medical professional encounters the unusual names while filling out birth certificates or reviewing patient files. This detail lends the story an air of authenticity, as it is often relayed by someone connected to a medical environment.
The protagonists are almost always twin boys, which doubles the humor and reinforces the connection between the two names. The specific motivation for the names is the most memorable part, suggesting the mother either named them directly after the Jell-O dessert or misinterpreted a written list of flavor options.
A common variation includes a supposed phonetic pronunciation, such as “le-MON-jello” or “a-RON-jello.” This implies a cultural misunderstanding or an attempt to make the names sound more sophisticated. The entire narrative functions as a cautionary or humorous tale about the consequences of unique baby naming trends.
Tracing the Story’s Earliest Appearances
The core story of the gelatin-inspired names began circulating widely in the United States well before the age of the internet, often spreading through word-of-mouth as a friend-of-a-friend tale. The narrative gained significant momentum in the late 1980s and 1990s, finding new platforms through early email chains and humor columns. Its structure, involving an encounter with an unusual name in a professional setting, made it particularly popular among educators and medical staff.
As the story traveled, details often shifted, with the location of the twins changing from one major U.S. city to another, such as Chicago or Detroit. This geographical fluidity is a characteristic feature of urban legends, allowing people in various regions to claim the anecdote as a local event.
The names may have been inspired by existing, less common surnames, which provided a kernel of plausibility. For example, the Italian surname “Lemongello” or the name “Orangelo” pre-dates the Jell-O brand. This blending of real, rare names with a recognizable commercial product contributed to the story’s memorability and rapid virality.
Verifying the Existence of the Names
Despite the story’s persistent circulation, extensive efforts by journalists and folklorists to verify the existence of the “Lemonjello” and “Orangejello” twins have consistently failed. Reputable debunking sources classify the story as a modern urban legend, noting the lack of official records, such as birth certificates or school registries, to support the anecdote. The tale is a classic example of apocryphal folklore, repeated widely but lacking a factual basis.
The impossibility of verification is compounded because the story is frequently part of a cluster of similar anecdotes about implausibly named children, often including names like “Shithead” (pronounced “sha-TEED”) or “La-a.” These stories share the same narrative arc: an educated professional encountering a parent who has chosen an absurd name. This pattern suggests the story functions more as social commentary than as a documented event.
Individuals with similar-sounding names, such as the surname “Lemongello” or the given name “Orangelo,” may exist. However, these real-life instances are distinct from the specific narrative of twin boys named after the gelatin dessert. The enduring search for the “Jell-O twins” highlights the human desire to confirm a captivating story, even when evidence suggests it is purely fictional.
Persistent Use in Pop Culture
The legend of “Lemonjello” and “Orangejello” persists in popular culture because it serves as an effective rhetorical shorthand for the topic of unusual names and perceived cultural differences. The story provides a ready-made example in discussions about anthroponymy, the study of personal names. It is often cited to illustrate parental creativity or perceived poor judgment, offering a non-threatening way to discuss social issues related to naming trends.
The story has been referenced in various media, including books and television, further cementing its place in the public consciousness. For instance, the names were mentioned in the popular book Freakonomics to discuss the correlation between names and socioeconomic status, even though the authors acknowledged the names were likely an urban legend. This use in academic and popular contexts reinforces the names as a cultural touchstone.
The persistence of the legend is also due to its structure as a believable, yet slightly outrageous, anecdote. It is easily retold and adapted, leading to an endless cycle of people claiming a third-hand connection to the “true” story. The tale functions as a mild morality play, providing a humorous or cautionary example that resonates with anxieties about societal changes in naming conventions.

Oh, yeah, and "America is a fascist nation" is a lie.
And Florida's "Alexander Vindman finally got his head on straight!" That's an outright lie.

Russia has recruited more than 400,000 people in the past year alone — yet the Kremlin still needs more. Despite a slowdown from the 2023 peak, recruitment remains at historically high levels, raising a deeper question about what’s driving this constant demand for manpower.
Behind the headline recruitment figures lies a widening gap between losses and replacements, and a system increasingly reliant on financial incentives to keep numbers up. Military pay has surged far beyond civilian wages, recruitment advertising has shifted online, and the cost of sustaining the war is rising year after year.
This is no longer just about mobilisation or patriotism — it’s about attrition. How many people Russia is losing, how much it is paying to replace them, and whether this model can be sustained over time as economic and demographic pressures continue to build.
