:whistle: :stinkerbell: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Speaking of Halloween candy, remember these oldies Last time I saw these was in the 1980’s … I did a double take the other day when our local grocery store finally displayed them on their shelf. But they are in a tiny bag marked $5.00 😳. They need to knock off $2.00 to justify buying them so I’m waiting patiently and just torture myself every time I go into that store and just stare at them. 😵💫 Cool find, Patricia. The thing that stood out to me was "the Technical University of Denmark have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA’s Swarm satellite mission and converted them into sound ". Being a musician, I have a nice recording studio set up in my basement and have experimented and played around with sound conversion. The misleading part of this story is that they converted signals to sound. That means this is not the actual sound of the magnetic field but simply the interpretation of the signals. They could take the readings off of a seismograph and do the same thing but that doesn't mean that the sound you hear is actually the sound of an earthquake. Still, I downloaded the sound file and will play around with it and maybe find some use for it. :mail: Nolte: Layoffs Hit Far-Left CNN as Primetime Viewership Collapses: CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that denies election results and encourages violence in predominantly black neighborhoods, will be hit with massive layoffs before the end of the year. Per a statement released Wednesday from CNN chief Chris Licht — the left-wing extremist behind Stephen Colbert’s failing late-night show — the fake news outlet is facing “noticeable change. … That, by definition, is unsettling. These changes will not be easy because they will affect people, budgets, and projects.” Gee, I wonder why that is…? Even with a hotly contested and consequential national election less than two weeks away, CNN — which is more commonly called “CNNLOL”. . . — has been earning humiliating ratings. During the week of October 17, CNNLOL managed to attract an average of only 512,000 total primetime viewers. Here are the overall numbers during that week for context purposes: TOTAL PRIMETIME VIEWERS FOX: 2.3 million CNN makes money off advertising and pay-TV subscriber fees. But as millions of Americans cancel traditional pay TV each year in favor of streaming services, CNN almost certainly can’t raise subscription rates at a fast enough clip to make up for declining viewer numbers. If You Liked Big Brother, Meet Google's Big MUM: MUM or Multitask Unified Model was hyped last year as the company's new machine learning algorithm. MUM had been initially described as an innovative way to allow Google's dying search service to answer natural language questions by drawing on multiple sources. While MUM's applications initially appeared to be apolitical, that quickly changed. Google first unleashed MUM to fight what it considered COVID "misinformation" by making sure that everyone saw "high quality and timely information from trusted health authorities like the World Health Organization". By reducing the number of sources to only those that agree with its agenda, Google is able to deliver fast results while getting rid of different points of view. A Forbes article described how MUM would "check information across multiple reliable sources" to allow "the system to come to a general consensus." Google had once built its search around the vast diversity of a bygone internet, but it has spent the last decade draining the diversity and depth of the pool and replacing it with the shallow manufactured consensus of its agenda. Google long ago ceased being a way to find different answers and its search results are deliberately repetitive. Search is an illusion. The user thinks that he's browsing the internet when he's actually spinning his wheels in Google's walled garden. This is most obvious in shopping and in politics: two areas where Google has strong interests and tries to manipulate users into believing that they are exploring options when they're being hand-fed variations on a theme. Or as Pandu Nayak, VP of search at Google, wrote in a recent post, "By using our latest AI model, Multitask Unified Model (MUM), our systems can now understand the notion of consensus, which is when multiple high-quality sources on the web all agree on the same fact." The last thing the world needs is another centralized computer system enforcing a consensus. And sometimes Google wants to give you the information before you ask it. If you own an advanced Android phone, you may find that Google Assistant will interrupt conversations to offer its own "insights." Google is also pursuing "prebunking" of what it considers "misinformation" with preemptive propaganda campaigns. Google's YouTube already has a broad set of bans covering everything from questioning global warming, contradicting medical experts, and debating 2020 election results. These are a window into the company's political agendas and how it seeks to enforce political conformity. As the midterm elections approach, YouTube spokeswoman Ivy Choi, promised that the video site's recommendations are "continuously and prominently surfacing midterms-related content from authoritative news sources and limiting the spread of harmful midterms-related misinformation." The technical term for this is mass propaganda. That's what Big Tech does. MUM is yet another tool for enforcing a totalitarian conformity on the diversity of the internet. Google doesn't want you to think differently or to think for yourself. What it wants users to do is to shut up and listen to Big MUM. https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/if-you-liked-big-brother-meet-googles-big-mum Elon Musk Officially Owns Twitter – Immediately Fires CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO and Legal Head Vijaya Gadde: Elon Musk and Twitter reached a deal on Thursday.

An all-hands meeting is expected to take place on Friday. Recall, Vijaya Gadde, an immigrant from India who hates the First Amendment, was behind the censorship of conservatives and Trump supporters. Vijaya Gadde was responsible for the censorship and banning policies at Twitter. She is famous for this and apparently took great pride in it. In her role she allowed the Ayatollah of Iran to promote hate speech on the platform but she took down the account of the leader of the free world, President Donald Trump.

The information came to light via leaks to the Intercept, as well as documents and minutes revealed through Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s lawsuit filed against the Biden Administration that alleges government collusion with Big Tech to suppress Americans’ First Amendment rights. In the runup to the 2020 election, the consortium created a system whereby state actors including the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department could file “tickets” alongside news stories, flagging them so that Big Tech platforms could subsequently suppress or attach warning labels to them.
