unemployment hit 4.4% in march, april outlook to be published in a week
— Employment Situation Summary Transmission of material in this news release is embargoed until USDL-20-0521 8:30 a.m. (EDT) Friday, April 3, 2020 Technical information: Household data: cpsinfo@bls.gov * www.bls.gov/cps Establishment data: cesinfo@bls.gov * www.bls.gov/ces Media contact: (202) 691-5902 * PressOffice@bls.gov THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- MARCH 2020 Total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 701,000 in March, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The changes in these measures reflect the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and efforts to contain it. Employment in leisure and hospitality fell by 459,000, mainly in food services and drinking places. Notable declines also occurred in health care and social assistance, professional and business services, retail trade, and construction. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. Note that the March survey reference periods for both surveys predated many coronavirus-related business and school closures that occurred in the second half of the month. For more information about the concepts and statistical methodology used in these two surveys, see the Technical Note. cont.: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm |

NYCgaf16's first driving lesson didn't go so well
The car (Suzuki Swift) flew 7 meters high, and landed 64 meters further ahead, against a church on a cemetery

Kim Jong Un seems to be having some issues. Is he perhaps the very first Covid 19 case in NK? (Sarcasm, that.)
The Orange One must be devastated.

Anyone who thinks the Democrat party is in disarray should have a look at the leaked emails and whatsapp posts from the labour Party, where ...
Chief of staff Karie Murphy was described as “medusa”, a “crazy woman” and a “bitch face cow” who would “make a good dartboard” A staff member who cheered one of Corbyn's speeches "should be shot" Corbyn described as “that fucking Trot” who deserved “to be taken out and shot.” Pro-Corbyn activists described as having "mental health issues" to which another official replied: “I hope [name of activist redacted] dies in a fire”. A third said: “That’s a very bad wish [name redacted]. But if he does I wouldn’t piss on him to put him out.” To which a second official then added: “Wish there was a petrol can emoji”. Describing Labour MPs who nominated Corbyn as “morons”; tweeting twice that Corbyn was a “traitor”; describing “Corbynistas” as racist; telling an SNP MP that he should “Come down to Peckham and try saying that, mate”; calling Corbyn a “Putin-hugging, terrorist-loving, Trident-hater” That a speech by Corbyn in response to the Manchester terrorist attack "won’t go down as badly as it deserves to" That, despite being “shit”, Tory MP Iain Duncan Smith was “better than most of our shadow cabinet” Also on Corbyn, “Massive elephant in the room that we all kind of hate him” a senior official described another member of the party as “pube head” and "a smelly cow" Diane Abbott described as "truly repulsive" Suggestions that that some staffers may have “failed to act on extreme cases of anti-Semitism in order to undermine the Labour Party as led by Jeremy Corbyn.” And these are just some of the ones that've been leaked so far. |

No one knows. Sounds like someone internal but the Party's working to try and identify who.

It's Harry, formerly known as Prince. That's why he escaped to the US

China to propose national security legislation for Hong Kong - ABC News (Australia)
Seeing a bunch of Communists rejoicing over this on Twitter is reminding me of why they suck.

OLYMPUS QUITS CAMERA BUSINESS AFTER 84 YEARS
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53165293 dammit. i almost bought one of their M4/3 cameras a few years ago. got a panny instead, but still, their macro lens was a holy grail. see: https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/len...2-8-macro.html not sure why this makes me a bit sad, but it does. |

Yes, that's sad. I'm an Olympus shooter and own three micro 4/3 cameras and one 4/3, plus several of their lenses. All of excellent quality, no matter what Jared Polin and people like him say. |

I have an old Olympus Trip, which is still a great camera, but the company itself never really gained a foothold in the big pro-end DSLR market comparable with Nikon's, Sony's or Canon's, so they ended up mainly focusing on small point-and-shooters which (as good as they are) inevitably saw them competing with smartphones, a battle they were never gonna win.

do you think m43 will go away altogether though? fuji makes beautiful aps-c cameras but the company seems more fragile to me with their narrow focus and they are in the same space as sony in terms of format. |

Fat, white, lesbian The Black Madonna has removed black from her name to appease fickle sjw internet lords. Just like Animal Collective earlier this month retrospectively changing album covers and title's we can all agree they can now be officially classed as African and are vital cocks in the wheel of BLM oppression fighters.
Meanwhile, perennial sexist Beyonce 'you're just a boy' Knowles releases Black is King and no-one bats an eyelid thus paving the way for a possible Country Teasers' White is King album. Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, false endings in songs?! what's all that about? |

Wait, what animal collective albums were changed?
Say all you want about false endings but the one on Suspicious minds kills.
