How it feels to go 0-2 at the local

I just saw the ATC news and all I can think about is: "That would have been my life, did I dodge a proverbial bullet by failing CTI?" "Oh Lord, that could've been me!"

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

Regarding Strive Jam: I am not a Jam player (as of now). Never liked her themes. Don't like the voice. I do like the Strive design, and the face design. I think that's a bad thing imo. You should appeal to your OG Jam players first and...oh wait, this is Strive.

Tron Bonne is better than Evangelion. There I said it.

Dude is on point 💯

Gabe singing “My Way” to end the Oshi on Deck concert Gabe did marketing and fundraising for the USS hornet museum as well as promoting vtubers at this con. At the end of the concert, he mentioned he’ll be stepping back from that role. Good luck to him in the future!

People be ripping on him but have you genuinely ever tried talking to someone with zero hobbies I’d rather swallow broken glass

"Gamers are entitled" Can't believe that was an argument from a corpo. You're goddamn right we are, you fucking idiot, WE PAY YOU OUR FUCKING MONEY TO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT. When you refuse to DO that, we tell you "You don't get our money". And YOU throw fucking hissy fits!

Heya, took a small break. Here's a quick vid of first iteration of some new anims I'm working on, still some JANK to iron out but they're feelin pretty good! Spot the Tomb Raider reference...
