Kentucky braces for land shifts following deadly winter storm

Feb. 25, 2025

Authorities in the central region of the Blue Grass State are warning that the impacts from a deadly winter storm are continuing, with sections of riverbanks seen collapsing over the last several days. Franklin County Judge Executive Michael Marler stated that the damage is directly linked to the rapid recession of the waters, causing some cliffs along the waterways to erode and give way. "But what's most worrisome is this riverbank. As you can see here, the riverbank has given way, and that is because it is receding way too fast. So I want to keep everybody safe. If you live near the river, be aware of this. If you're just walking around looking at things, please be aware of this too," Marler said in a social media post.

Fox News Digital was able to replicate the issue multiple times. The voice-to-text dictation feature was observed briefly flashing "Trump" when a user said "racist" before it quickly changed back to "racist" – just like in the viral TikTok video. However, "Trump" did not appear every time a user said "racist."

His venture may seem far out, but asteroid mining CEO Matt Gialich has no illusions. The engineer cofounded the bold California startup AstroForge in 2022 with the aim of hunting for precious metals in space, and he is all too aware that success is not guaranteed.

The U.K. government is consulting on whether to let tech firms use copyrighted material to help train AI models unless the creators explicitly opt out.

Feb. 24, 2025
