EnochWalked: data.bls.gov/timeseries/JTS000000000000000LDR Since the start of 2021, the "Layoffs and discharges" rate has hit 1.2 on only 3 occasions: Jan-2023, Mar-2023, and Sep-2024 (which is the most recent month for which there are data). 3/45 months. Nov 21, 2024 7:37:27 GMT -6
EnochWalked: So next month we may see if 1.2 is the "new normal" (actually a reversion to the levels seen before the pandemic), or if the numbers are starting to creep up. Ignoring 2020, the level only reached 1.4 twice in the past 10 years (both in 2015). Nov 21, 2024 7:42:04 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-fired-hypersonic-ballistic-missile-ukraine-warning-west-2024-11-21/ "Putin says Ukraine war is going global". The actual quote is: "a regional conflict ... has acquired elements of a global character" Nov 22, 2024 1:51:29 GMT -6
EnochWalked: english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2024/11/21/italian-official-says-netanyahu-would-be-arrested-if-he-came-to-italy “Prime Minister Netanyahu is now officially a wanted man,” "The unprecedented move drew a furious reaction from Netanyahu" Nov 22, 2024 2:00:57 GMT -6
EnochWalked: 'The court said it had found “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu & Gallant bore “criminal responsibility” for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare, as well as the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts' Nov 22, 2024 2:01:37 GMT -6
EnochWalked: 'ICC said the pair were also criminally responsible “for the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”' 'intentionally & knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival' Nov 22, 2024 2:03:22 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.ynetnews.com/culture/article/s1wsmdlgyg "The Bibi Files to air around the world: 'Netanyahu is the architect of chaos'" "Although banned in Israel, the movie set to premiere in New York on Thursday and later be available in worldwide theaters" Nov 22, 2024 2:04:35 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.rte.ie/news/2024/1019/1476245-eu-israel-trade/ "Game-changer? Ireland's gambit on EU-Israel trade sanctions". This article is from last month, before the ICC warrants were issued. It lays out how some EU nations might refuse some Israeli exports Nov 22, 2024 6:02:39 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/19/bird-flu-cases-mutation-canada "Bird flu in Canada may have mutated to become more transmissible to humans" "Scientists are racing to understand what a hospitalized teen’s case of bird flu may mean" Nov 22, 2024 6:52:32 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2313892 "Currently licensed and approved malaria subunit vaccines provide modest, short-lived protection against malaria. Immunization with live ... malaria parasites is an alternative vaccination strategy" Nov 22, 2024 11:03:44 GMT -6
EnochWalked: Now think back to this: www.cnbc.com/2017/11/28/bill-gates-released-swarming-mosquitoes-to-make-a-point-about-malaria.html "Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates released a swarm of mosquitoes on an unsuspecting audience at a TED conference in 2009." Nov 22, 2024 11:05:02 GMT -6
EnochWalked: Maybe this is his plan to get everyone to accept his next (patented) vaccine. There probably aren't any laws about infecting mosquitoes, or releasing them. All he would need is a way to release millions of them at scale. Oh wait, that exists too: Nov 22, 2024 11:07:42 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.forbes.com/sites/scotttravers/2024/07/17/dropping-millions-of-special-flies-into-us-airspace-was-one-of-the-best-decisions-we-ever-made-heres-why/ The program is still active in Central America, funded by the US tax payer. Nov 22, 2024 11:12:27 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/534519/new-zealand-declares-whooping-cough-epidemic "Our last major outbreak of pertussis was in 2017, but they can last for months and potentially for a year or more, so this will be a marathon, not a sprint." Nov 22, 2024 11:33:19 GMT -6
EnochWalked: edition.cnn.com/2024/11/22/world/iran-iaea-centrifuges-censure-intl-hnk/index.html "Iran says it is activating new centrifuges after being condemned by UN nuclear watchdog". Presumably also timed to show that Israel's strikes haven't stopped them. Nov 22, 2024 11:37:14 GMT -6
EnochWalked: 'Earlier this year ... Blinken said that Iran’s breakout time – the amount of time needed to produce enough weapons grade material for a nuclear weapon – “is now probably one or two weeks,” the shortest breakout time that US officials have ever referenced' Nov 22, 2024 11:37:59 GMT -6
EnochWalked: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWIL8ki7do "Messiah 2030 - FAQ - Part 1". Some interesting insights into their position. They seem to think that the Rapture happens after the Tribulation, and that Christians will have to go through the 3.5 year wrath. Nov 22, 2024 22:36:25 GMT -6
EnochWalked: I am prepared to hear them out on that, but they've been quite evasive about it so far, which suggests either they are not very confident in their position, or they are trying to hide it because they know people will disagree (which feels deceptive to me). Nov 22, 2024 22:38:33 GMT -6
EnochWalked: x.com/awwstn/status/1860043057284153782 People can't help accidentally suggesting that Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is the antichrist. But if Elon convinces Trump to use the Defense Production Act to seize OpenAI, then Altman ("old man") is history. Nov 22, 2024 22:57:19 GMT -6
EnochWalked: roadtoartificia.com/p/why-the-next-leaps-towards-agi-may-be-born-secret "A new Manhattan Project to build AGI / ASI is near". This article tries to make the case that some facts about AI could automatically become state secrets. Nov 22, 2024 23:51:48 GMT -6
