Gamers aren’t the punchline. Sean Duffy treating a staffing crisis like a Twitch recruitment stream is. Controllers need years of training, the academy is nearly full, and a third wash out. You cannot speedrun competence when the passengers do not respawn.
God damn stupidity. Just read an article about how The Toy and Action Figure museum in Paul's Valley is closing. The article interviews the owner who says the town's commerce department has always helped him, and now he can't post the billboards because the commerce department would rather support one day events over a local business. It goes on and on. Only about 2/3 through the article do you learn that the owner of the museum missed the deadline to apply for funding, the REAL reason the commerce department didn't give him money to pay for the billboards.
Blood donation companies run by lying, two-faced snake oil merchants who care about cornering the imbecile market more than they care about medical facts.
State health departments have already resisted this. Notice, however, RFKook and Orangini will sic TODD and his DOJ lolyers on states that don't comply. LOLOLOL ... good luck with that, TODD. Oh, and TODD? How are those voter list grab lawsuits going? Oh, the DOJ lolyers are 0-22.
So. You're a pharma CEO. You take a hard look at the demented toddler in the White-y House and say, "Will this bullshit anti-science exist in two years?" You then sit back, light your Cuban cigar with a $100 bill, and decide to hold off investing in retooling your whole vaccine production system.
THIS. I work in the industry & the idea that you just magically split the vaccine into three like having salad bar options instead of a mixed salad is not how any of this works.
Corporations usually tread lightly regarding politics, but my company is vocally talking shit about RFK Jr & the Trump administration. We've had slides with RFK Jr on them (that's a jump scare in an otherwise boring corporate presentation) just laying into him & all of this stupidity.
True. They don't want to have to run a gauntlet of retributive legislation backed by a ground swell of pissed-off peasants. Easier to wait for this regime to burn itself out then go back to doing things exactly the same way as before.
Huang is very smart and the list of investors is stellar. They are not investing in "AI" per sé, but investing in more compute for future growth. Nvidia actually has a product to sell. They also aren't being (as) skeevy as Oracle, Amazon, and OpenAI around how much money they're worth.
And if they had have eaten a bomb or missile, they would have been replaced by functionally identical mouthpieces in the time it took the debris to hit the ground.
It's the pilot and crew I feel for. they might have signed up for the more dangerous than normal task of ferrying about the figurehead of the U.S. but this is a piss take.
Duffy fled Alaska for more the more lucrative D.C. green-backed pastures, and those pastures are welcome to keep him.

I played Star Trek Fleet Command for a few years.
A lot of those guys played the game, like, heavily during hours they were working.
Many was the time I hoped that they weren't train conductors or pilots or heart surgeons.
Having gamers, who are distracted by playing a game, in the control tower does not give me a great deal of confidence.
Gamers? Did any of them pass that test you have to take before even getting a foot in the door? You have GOT to bel kidding!
Impossible to ignore that he sucks at EVERYTHING.
"Game over" in this context does not mean it's time to go get another Red Bull before the next level 1.
I am not impressed.
86 GOP
Its this or Eric Swalwell and Katie Miller.
I initially read the title as "Sean Duffy hiring Gamera"
Gamera has too much personal integrity to work for those chumps.
You don't think that Sean Duffy is a friend to all children?

I'm surprised that he didn't also claim that he was being persecuted for his political views.
It's a far cry from the 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 journalism that prevailed before everything became a marketing opportunity
my word.. that pic up top..
Are those masks?
“MMR quite lethal… explosive even”. Baby go *BOOM*!

All those parents, au pairs, caregivers killed and injured by detonated baby shrapnel! Won't someone, some GALACTIC BRAIN GENIUS stop the tragedy!
They're going to stop people from taking vaccinated babies on airplanes...
Our enemies are working on atomic explosive vaccines for their anchor babies...
I'm starting an Airport Baby Vaccination Quick Scanner company today. Should have begun last night.
Public service like that, there's money to be p̶l̶u̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶made. Hire a grant writer, good ones pay for themselves!
This is a level of stupid I've never experienced. There are now non-vaccinated blood donation sites/companies.
Blood donation companies run by lying, two-faced snake oil merchants who care about cornering the imbecile market more than they care about medical facts.
What could go wrong?
I don't think we're anywhere close to the end. Gonna need more cable to plumb the coming depths

Trump falsely claimed the MMR vaccine is “quite lethal” and linked shots to autism.

As a former pharmacy professional I can confirm that no, that's not how any of this works.
The man is an idiot, advised by morons and funded by lunatics and maniacs.

Not as lethal as a missile strike on a school.

He's helping to make my hobby more expensive, so he can guzzle a baboons' tonker.
"guzzle a baboons' tonker" ... adds to personal UK slang dictionary.
yah, but not sure I really buy it as a long-term "investment" ..
My gut says GPUs are gonna be like CRTs in 3 or 4 years. just looking at the tech cycle..
Probably ... even the older ones can be used to run small AI model inference. But Huang is gonna grab the cash while the gettin' is good.
They were expendable… and by “they”, we mean the White House Press Corps on AF1 out of Turkey.
True ... the White-y House press corpse is mostly YouTube influencers and RWNJ bloggers anyway.
And if they had have eaten a bomb or missile, they would have been replaced by functionally identical mouthpieces in the time it took the debris to hit the ground.
It's the pilot and crew I feel for. they might have signed up for the more dangerous than normal task of ferrying about the figurehead of the U.S. but this is a piss take.
And yet nobody actually tried to down it.

That's not right. It's missing the part where he tells Iran he's going to blow them up.
Saw a meme yesterday about how Mamdami and El Sayed are the NEW dem heros and all I could say was WHAR AOC and SQUAD?
They've been around for 6 or 7 years. These guys are fresh faces for the press (and GOP) to glom onto and fearmonger about..
Yeah ... the squad survived their weeny attacks. The republicans think Mamdani and El Sayed will be afraid of them. Uh huh. Good luck with that.
It's erasing women from history.
