She posted an update on her bluesky account around 5 hours ago and I don't think the clarification helped. She denies being an interventionist and says that she fired the advisor from her team. However she says that she still wants the US to sell arms to Ukraine and Taiwan. She even made a statement that US should end the "strategic ambiguity" policy on China, to adopt a firm Taiwan separatist policy.
You can't really put her into a box because her opinions are uniquely incorrect. She was endorsed by AIPAC Tracker, the anti-AIPAC group, on February 26 2026. She dominated the primary debate with anti-Israel positions. During the debate, she mocked AOC's "offensive vs defensive weapons" defense of Israel spending and then the very next day says that the US needs to provide defense to Taiwan. The logic is incoherent.
She really is doing vibes. The closest thing I can compare it to is Vaushism. I compare her to Vaush because they are both very online and Vaush had a positon around 7-8 years ago that he believed that the US should invade Israel to protect the Palestinians. Similarly, Kat seems to think that Israel's crimes are somehow separate from the US. I think this way of thinking comes from a delusion that the US has ever been a benevolent force around the world.
tytykiller 3.28 character build predictions
With the removal of harbinger, there will also be a sharp drop in availability of annulment orbs in the economy. The patch notes says that they increased the drop rate of regal orbs and exalted orbs. Then there is the removal of chaos orb spenders such as map device craft and t17 rolling. This is pointing to a big game economy shake up.
In the previous league 3.27, divine orbs had an exchange value of around 150 chaos, exalted orbs had an exchange ratio of 15 chaos (or 10 exalted to 1 divine), and annulment orbs had a value of around 2 chaos or (70-80 annulment to 1 divine). I feel like this exchange ratio has remained steady for at least 2-3 leagues now.
With the changes the orb supply and demand, I'm guessing the exchange ratio will be something like 1 divine for 250-300 chaos, 1 divine for 10-20 annulment, 1 divine for 30-40 exalted.
The function of the chaos is nearly identical to combining the functions of the scour orb and alchemy orb. A chaos orb changes all of the explicit modifiers on a rare item, giving the item 4-6 new modifiers. Scour orb removes all modifiers on an item (making it normal) and then alchemy orb changes a normal item into a rare item with 4-6 modifiers. Chaos orbs have the added functionality of being used for crafting bench and previously were also used as spenders for map device craft and also T17 maps explicitly said they could only be modified with chaos orbs.
Without the extra functionality of the chaos orb, the value of the chaos orb will equalize to the value of the scour orb, which had been typically priced at 0.5 to 0.6 chaos. This indicates that the value of chaos orbs will halve in the early league and probably be much worse in the mid-late league.
Ancient orbs are now acquired in an entirely new way and it's impossible to say the new value. Blessed orbs have been improved to now function in a similar way to horizon orbs, horizon orbs have been removed.
The significance or chaos value is that novice or casual players typically make trades in chaos, while experienced players do trading in divine orbs. Very advanced players will invest early in deflating assets such as hinekora's locks, mirror shards, heist jewelry, or other scarce items. The severe inflation of chaos orbs could deal a shock to new players.
With the huge nerfs to int stacking and ES stacking, it looks like str stackers will be king.
There's likely going to be economy problems with the lack of a chaos orb sink. In previous leagues, you needed many chaos orbs to roll t17 maps and for map device 'craft'. Both of these mechanics have been removed. A mass excess of chaos orbs will occur unless they secretly reduced chaos orb drops.

I see Madeline Pendleton tiktoks being posted on hexbear pretty frequently but I didn't know that she started doing twitch streams.
This video is made by neo-nazi named Tyler Oliveira. He popularized the conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs during the 2024 election. This claim was repeated by Trump and JD Vance. There is speculation that Trump or Republians secretly collaborated with Tyler Oliveira to produces his videos. He has also made videos claiming that antifa is real shadow organization that he uncovered. another claim that Trump has made.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Elected as General Secretary of WPK
Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- A decision of the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea "On Election of the General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea" was adopted on Feb. 22.
The decision is as follows:
Today our revolutionary cause for the comprehensive socialist construction is making a dynamic advance, achieving unprecedented miracles at an extraordinary speed under the experienced and seasoned leadership of the ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea.
At the Ninth Congress of the WPK held in the annals of the stirring struggle for making great and epochal changes unprecedented in the history of the DPRK's growth and development while braving all challenges and difficulties of history, all the Party members and people are to make an important decision on electing the head of the WPK, the centre of leadership and unity who embodies the organizational will of the whole Party.
To elect the head of the WPK who assumes the heavy responsibility for guiding the state and the people to the victory of the socialist cause is of greatest significance in the work of the Party Congress, the supreme leadership body of the Party, as it is an important affair decisive of the Party's leadership ability and the future destiny of the country and the people.
The attention of millions of Party members and all the people is now focused on this decision.
The current Congress fully supported and approved the polite proposal for re-electing Comrade Kim Jong Un as the top leader of the WPK.
This is the historical appraisal of the past five-year struggle, in which epochal changes had been made with the august name of Comrade Kim Jong Un as the banner of invincibility, and its great fruition and an expression of the responsible and solemn stand reflecting the choice and will of all the people.
At a turning point in which the noble ideology and ideal our Party has adhered to in its protracted and sacred history are being translated into gigantic reality and the new era of building a strong and prosperous state is being ushered in on the path of the Juche revolution, all the Party members and other people of the country and all servicepersons of the armed forces of the Republic are making a pledge of loyalty to invariably hold in high esteem Comrade Kim Jong Un as the centre of unity and leadership, cherishing the immutable truth that the greatness of Kim Jong Un is the guiding power of our Party, the might of our state and the glory of socialism.
Kim Jong Un is the most prominent statesman who has performed great exploits before the country and the revolution and on behalf of the times and history by leading our Party and people only to victory with his rare ideo-theoretical wisdom, distinguished leadership ability and noble popular traits and the only person who can represent the mightiness and invincibility of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, our great state.
Holding fast to great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the guiding idea of our Party and bringing about a radical turn in the Party building and activities, he has thoroughly maintained the revolutionary character of the WPK as the powerful political staff which established the oneness of ideology and leadership and as an invincible party which has served the people and become a harmonious whole with the popular masses.
He set forth the five-point Party-building line in the new era and has energetically led the struggle for its implementation and thus developed the WPK into a party, politically mature, organizationally strong, ideologically pure, strict in discipline and sound in work style. This is an immortal exploit that provided a decisive guarantee for building up the political force which powerfully guides the Korean revolution and socialist construction to upturn and carrying forward the leadership ability of our Party for all ages.
He clarified a new-stage goal for the comprehensive development of our own style socialist construction and clear programme with obvious possibility and ushered in an era of change and innovations unprecedented in the history of the Republic with his correct and original revolutionary leadership.
He set forth the scientific fighting policy for the stable development of the self-supporting economy, brought about precious successes in implementing the five-year plan and developing the overall economy, laid a solid material foundation for the economic and cultural development and improvement of the people's standard of living through a great upsurge in the construction revolution and opened up an eye-opening reality in which the appearance of the country was radically changed in a short span of time.
It is the historic exploit that can be achieved only by Kim Jong Un that the gigantic revolution started to eliminate the backwardness of regions and rural areas, which had remained as the fetters of development for a long time, and improve the material and cultural environment of the country and the eternal foundation for comprehensive prosperity has been consolidated as its brilliant fruition.
The epochal results have been made in the healthcare revolution for reconstructing the medical field of the country in an advanced way and remarkable achievements made in the fields of science, education, sports, literature and arts one after another. This is the fruition of the outstanding leadership of Kim Jong Un who has pioneered a high stage of development of the state, guiding all fields of socialist construction.
Clearly recorded in the history of the Party and the country are the outstanding leadership mode and sacred annals of the revolutionary activities of Kim Jong Un who has made sure that the might of single-minded unity with patriotism is steadily displayed, boosting the pride and self-esteem of Koreans with his great examples, and trained a large contingent of reliable socialist builders and successors faithful to the country and the revolution through practical struggle.
Kim Jong Un has ensured that the people really benefit from the most advantageous socialist policies, firmly defended the life and security of the people in any crisis and taken warm care of them. His noble world of devoted service for the people's wellbeing is attracting all the people and adding luster to our motherland as a genuine people's country.
He has energetically led the work to turn the Korean People's Army, the pivot of national defence and pillar of safeguarding peace, into an elite and powerful army and thus built the revolutionary armed forces capable of coping with any threat of aggression on their own initiative and fully prepared for any form of war.
The leadership of Kim Jong Un who has strengthened our army into the vanguard ranks supporting the ideology and cause of the WPK is the driving force that enabled the WPK to dynamically carry out the epochal great tasks and accelerate the advance of the revolution.
As we hold in high esteem the peerless patriot possessed of the steadfast revolutionary spirit, iron will and unusual pluck and courage as the top leader, the war deterrence of the country with the nuclear forces as its pivot has been radically improved and our state has dynamically advanced in the orbit of prosperity and the future destiny of the country and the people has been reliably guaranteed despite the stern challenges of history.
With his strong revolutionary principle and extraordinary strategy and through his seasoned external activities Kim Jong Un has remarkably raised the dignity and prestige of the DPRK, created an international environment favorable for the Korean revolution and made a great contribution to the common cause of mankind for independence and justice.
He has ushered in a golden age of building the WPK, fully demonstrated the prestige and national power of Juche Korea and brought a new era of comprehensive socialist construction in which the people's ideals and desire are realized. He is the outstanding political activist of the DPRK nobody can take place, and the most ardent patriot, the prominent representative of the Korean nation, the great dignity of our Party, state and people and the symbol of all victories and glory.
It is the solemn requirement of the times and history to hold in high esteem Kim Jong Un, who has enjoyed boundless trust and respect of all the Korean people for his noble sense of mission for the destiny of the country and people, warm love for them, outstanding political caliber and immortal exploits, as the top leader of the WPK again.
The Ninth Congress of the WPK decides to elect Kim Jong Un as general secretary of the WPK in accordance with the unshakable will and unanimous desire of all the delegates, millions of Party members, all the people and service personnel of the People's Army for the development of the WPK and the prosperity of the state. -0-
