The Supreme Court has decided that candidates do have standing to challenge election laws after all. Remember when a bunch of states wanted to challenge the 2020 election because of irregularities, and the Supreme Court said that they had no standing, puzzling a lot of legal experts. Well, it seems that they had a change of heart. So rules about counting ballots way after election day and accepting late ballots may be illegal. Big blow to the Dems, of course.

Epic, OCHIN, Reid Health, Trinity Health and UMass Memorial Health sue Health Gorilla for using data from their platforms for monetizing health data for non-health uses. We'll probably see more of this in the AI age.

Black Ivory is coffee that elephants have pooped out. Suppposed to have a nice chocolately flavor. So it's not just civet cats that poop out gourmet coffee beans. The question is, who thought these beans were worth making coffee from to begin with?

If you can't get motivated, it might be a problem with the parts of your brain in the ventral striatum and ventral pallidum. But stimulating motivation may stimulate anxiety. So is the lack of motivation the way the brain deals with anxiety? Or is it a negative coping strategy?

Remember digg.com? It's trying to make a comeback. I remember visiting that site before Reddit took over. Will it appeal to the post-Reddit generation? We shall see. One more place to spend the hours.

Article on AI cracking hard math problems. "Since Christmas, 15 problems have been moved from “open” to “solved” on the Erdős website". That's a lot in such a short period.

Reprompt: The Single-Click Microsoft Copilot Attack that Silently Steals Your Personal Data. This is why I am wary about having AI integrated into anything, like browsers or other sensitive and critical apps I use.

Fauci Knew That Natural Immunity Was Superior to Vaccine and Still Pushed to Require It. When will someone put this man on trial and grill him? So much damage came out of his recommendations.

Here's another reason I know that the whole green energy push was fake: Kamala Harris Buys $8.2 Million Seaside Mansion After Warning 'Sea Levels Are Rising' Due to 'Climate Crisis'. Harris's new home features many of the same amenities—such as a gas stove and fireplace—that the Biden-Harris administration targeted with regulations. "How dare you?" as some idiot would say.

Oregon lawmakers confront ballooning Medicaid costs. Democrat healthcare plans consist of getting government subsidies. To pay off union employees, while shortchanging the non-unionized doctors. And Obamacare was good to hospitals. Really good. Labor unions loved it. But Medicaid reimbursement is declining. We need a better alternative to the ACA.

Portland taxes keep increasing. And there is decreasing benefits from tax payments. Money is wasted – good thrown after bad.
Interesting that Tina Kotek picked a Republican to be her Chief Prosperity Officer. Gee, why not pick a Democrat Socialist?

Kathleen Kennedy is really going to step down from being the head of Lucasfilm. But you know, the damage has been done. And from what I've read, the person who is taking over isn't necessarily going to make the franchise anything like what it was before in the 1980s. It's just Star Trek now – the franchises have been ruined.
