She quit the job. She sold the stock. She walked away from shares she hadn't even been PAID yet. Then she ended her own podcast. Katie Miller did all of it in the four days after her husband got the job. Her husband is Stephen Miller, and Monday was his first day as President Trump's White House Chief of Staff. The rule didn't ask for any of that. For months the White House counsel had him recused from anything touching space, AI or Paramount, because she worked for Elon Musk at SpaceX and had a podcast deal in the works with the media company. Recusal means you leave the room. She made sure there was no room he'd have to leave. The Atlantic reported the SpaceX exit Monday, and a White House official confirmed what it bought: "Stephen Miller is no longer subject to any recusals and may fully participate in all meetings and policy matters." Friday, the day he got the job, Chuck Schumer posted that Trump "couldn't have made a worse choice." Hakeem Jeffries called him "a dangerous xenophobe." In January those two run Congress. Her own words Sunday: "Nothing is more important than raising our four kids." You know how that town works. The spouse keeps the stock and the official skips the meeting. That's not a conflict of interest being managed. That's one being removed. 💎

The most entertaining outcome is the most likely, especially if ironic
One irony maximizing outcome that I’m not looking forward to is Anthropic proving to the world that their fears are justified by building the super-intelligence that they fear.

Microsoft patented a way to rent out your gaming PC's idle GPU to AI companies. You'd get paid in credits for software, AI access or cash. Cook my GPU for pennies? Nah.

Lmao Saving this for the day of GTA6's release when there are like 6,000 unofficial ports diffused across 10,000 pirating sites with no identification of origin beyond "some dude in Russia".
Take-Two is ready to use its legal resources to those who attempt to unofficially port Grand Theft Auto VI to PC or reverse engineering via AI assistance – they also plan major defences against it for future title releases. “We are utterly focused on enhancing our technical defenses and enhancing our legal activities appropriately. And at the same time, without in any way being cavalier, every entertainment business that exists is subject to some element of piracy. So this is likely to invade our business to a greater or lesser extent. I think it will be manageable and we are focused on it.” - Strauss Zelnick Source: ign.com/articles/take-two-en…

Sec of War, Pete Hegseth, should get a medal. Not articles of impeachment.
Col. Rob Maness (ret) outlines Pete Hegseth’s approach to rebuilding the United States military, centered on removing senior officers who advanced prior cultural priorities and reorienting war colleges toward decisive operational standards. These steps have met internal resistance from personnel who oversaw the earlier vaccine mandate and its limited reversals, with that opposition coordinating against the reforms in media. @RobManess Securing America with Frank Gaffney 11.09.26: Watch the full discussion here on 𝕏 #MilitaryReform #PeteHegseth #InternalResistance

Another woke studio bites the dust! Bandai Namco has shut down Reflector Entertainment, the creators of "Unknown 9 Awakening", a video game featuring an Indian woman as the main protagonist. Kim Belair, the story architect for Unknown 9, founded Sweet Baby Inc. The game cost $100-150 million and only made back a fraction of the cost. It flopped horribly, with it hitting only 285 concurrent players at launch. The studio had ambitions of creating a media "empire" with Unknown 9, with story podcasts, web series, and novels, but there was little to no interest overall. The game was horrible, with stiff animation, boring combat, clunky stealth, and performance bugs that made it more like a "chore" to play a game. Some players felt the game was more like an unfinished PS3-era demo. Studio liquidation will cost Bandai Namco an additional $23 million, costing more than the game's gross revenue.

The Rocketeer (1991) One of those films that deserved an entire franchise. One of Disney's best but, critics score it at a pathetic 67%.🍅 Shows you what they know.

Let’s be clear: the plan to steal this election did not start with Donald Trump. It began many years before he ever ran for office when the intel agencies & their proxies used “hanging chads” in Florida 2000 to usher in voting machines & turn over our elections to private companies & those who control them. Now that they have captured the whole system, they do not intend to let it go - ever. What happened in the midterms is the culmination of a war against the foundations of America: faith, family, freedom, life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. Trump is the one person who was able to shatter their plan to go from Hillary to Obama to a one-party blue state. They intend to make sure no one like him can ever rise again. And when you are focussed on him & all the things you’re unhappy he did not do or should have done, you are playing right into the hands of the enemy who created this psyop.

Nintendo has patched the exploit behind the Switch 2 jailbreak with its latest 23.5.0 firmware update. The fix blocks the system access previously used to dump games and run mods. Some game-specific exploits in SmileBASIC and Civilization VI still exist, but they can no longer escape into the console’s operating system.

"Nintendo wants to make sure its history doesn't disappear" Shuts online stores for DS, Wii & Wii U
Nintendo wants to make sure its history doesn’t disappear. The company is hiring a digital archivist to save old development documents, source code, prototypes, hardware records and stories from longtime employees. The idea is to preserve all the knowledge behind Nintendo’s games before it’s lost as veteran developers retire. The archive could also help future teams when working on remakes, remasters or new games. The job is a 12-month contract, but the goal is to build a system that Nintendo can keep using for years.

This is Unknown 9: Awakening, developed by Reflector Entertainment, the studio that Bandai Namco shut down. The game peaked at just 285 concurrent players on Steam throughout its entire lifetime. A Sweet Baby Inc. game btw.
