Oh my god.... we're in the Bad Place!!
Lately been thinking that we’re living in the *other* timeline of “It’s a Wonderful Life” … the one where George Bailey was never born and Mr. Potter calls the shots. No charming Bedford Falls, just depraved Pottersville.
FWIW, this storefront in my neighborhood has strong #Pottersville vibes.

There are two sustainable forms of society: one in which it is acceptable to discuss and advocate for everything except fascism, or one in which only fascism is acceptable.

Yesterday, Malaysia announced that the seabed search for MH370 would re-start on December 30.

Today, it appears that the search vessel has finished its last job before that search and will begin to reprovision before setting off.

The search for #MH370 is officially back on!

When it was put on hiatus back in April, the expectation was that it would restart in November. The officially announced start date of December 30 is a little later, but it's good to see it's happening at all.

Ocean Infinity's state-of-the-art ship Armada 86 05 is on track to restart a search of the Indian Ocean seabed for the missing plane, MH370, sometime next month.

But where exactly will it look? I break it down in the new episode of my Finding MH370 podcast.

Thousands of LLM users claim their chatbots have achieved sentience. Mainstream computer scientists says that's impossible.

But a growing number of some of the field's most respected voices say it's time to look deeper.

Armada 86 05 voyage to Philippines San Bernardino Strait continues. Illustrating with Marine Traffic's simple route forecast tool, the indicated distance to go suggests 600NM to run, arrival Friday morning local time.
14 days in the SBS area then expected southbound to renew #MH370 search.

The government shutdown might end soon, but air travelers will most likely face cancellations and delays into next week at least.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

The San Bernardino Strait historical wreck survey has been publicised to run 5th thru 18th Nov. At this time, it's expected that the survey's 14 day window will simply 'slide to the right' on the calendar.

If you're thinking about making air travel plans, be advised that delays & cancellations will mount in the days ahead.

Staying flexible will be key, experts say.

If anyone has been told their flight has been cancelled because of the FAA reduction in capacity, please let me know!

And please repost if you can, would love to get some visibility on this. No one seems to know exactly how this reduction is going to play out for travellers right now

Interesting! In my most recent episode, I describe how Armada 86 05 is the Ocean Infinity ship best positioned to carry out the wreck survey, but I didn't know it was actually expected to do so.

If true, this is prob the ship that'll restart the MH370 search

When Ocean Infinity paused the seabed search for #MH370 back in March, it was widely expected that they would return & restart to the project in November.

But now that November's come, that prospect's looking unlikely, for reasons I explain in today's episode.

Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

We're maintaining a watch on the assets that will likely be deployed.
In the meantime, OI is contributing to a survey with Carl Allen's AllenX/Allen Exploration organisation. AllenX has teamed up with Philippines Nat'l Museum to look for wrecks in the San Bernadino Strait south of Luzon Island.
