quote:

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky sent a note to his staff on Tuesday morning saying he had to "share some very sad news."

He was letting them know the home rental company had decided to lay off around 25% of its employees, which is roughly 1,900 people out of its 7,500 workforce. It's one of the largest single layoffs by a Silicon Valley company since the novel coronavirus pandemic sent the world reeling.

"When you've asked me about layoffs, I've said that nothing is off the table," Chesky wrote to his employees. "This is incredibly difficult to confront, and it will be even harder for those who have to leave Airbnb."

Airbnb has experienced a financial hit during the pandemic. It's seen tens of thousands of canceled reservations and plummeting revenue. The company was on track for an initial public offering this spring, but reportedly postponed those plans. In his letter to employees, Chesky said revenue for Airbnb this year will be less than half of what it earned in 2019, which was reportedly $4.8 billion.

Other tech companies with a focus on travel have also announced a loss in revenue and layoffs over the past month. Lyft said last week it was letting go 982 employees, or 17% of its staff. And Uber is rumored to be laying off as much as 20% of its workforce, which would total about 5,400 people.

Kentucky State Police began investigating in late April after Jeremiah Wooley posted threatening comments against the state's governor and state troopers on Facebook using a pseudonym, according to an affidavit filed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as part of a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.

Wooley made the comments under a video titled "Kentucky Governor sends State Troopers to Church to Enforce Social Distancing," the complaint says.

One of those comments, included "When would it be acceptable to go and kill this guy," while another mentioned "people getting arrested for doing drive through communion yet a drive through at McDonald's can still operate," according to the affidavit.

Wooley was found with two handguns on him when officers went to arrest him, according to the complaint. During a search of his home, state authorities discovered 12 weapons, including assault style firearms, shotguns and rifles, according to the ATF affidavit. Also confiscated was a .50 caliber rifle.

They also found 50 hand grenades, only one of which was operable, with all of the materials necessary to assemble a grenade, as well as explosive powder.

this is a good thread on why the mutation the los alamos paper highlights may not mean much though:

https://twitter.com/billhanage/status/1256422856436613126?s=21

I have a question as a big dumb idiot who knows nothing about viral biology:

If the whole "D vs G" mutation prevents immunity like people are speculating, why does the D die out once G gets a foothold? Seems like you'd see a mix of D and G if they both could infect you, just a lot more G. A single dominant strain suggests G is luckier / more infectious and then immunity blocks D from reinfecting people later on.

so, Texas has had 33,573 cases vs 935 deaths = 2.78% CFR, which is still really suspiciously out of line with all the other states with a lot of cases (even Florida)
related, RIP BNO I liked you


yeah the really abnormally low fatality rate has bothered me for a long while now, even more once it came out that Florida really is interfering with death count.

TN somehow has a 1.6% CFR. I really hate to sound :tinfoil: but I'm convinced my state is flat out lying

We also somehow have a 46% recovery rate. Here's the definition of a recovered case on the TN department of health's website:

"People who are confirmed asymptomatic and have completed their isolation period, or are at least 21 days beyond their first positive test"

We are flat out just counting anyone as recovered as long as it's been 21 days since their covid test without any follow-up to actually see if they're still sick lmao

1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.

The UFO vids were not de-classified they were un-classified. Meaning the original image was held as classified until it could be reviewed but after review it was immediately unclassified. Nobody's confirmed aliens. The DoD wants to wow you with their aircraft tech, that's all.
