A seventh patient has been cured of HIV. This was achieved with a stem cell transplant using a donor with the homozygous delta-32 CCR5 mutation. This is such a convergence of technological achievements made.

Never commit your company to Google technology. Now the Goo.gl URL shortener is slated for termination, joining a long list of those on the Google graveyard.

A lot of Windows computers suffered an outage this morning. Interesting is Microsoft's stopgap solution - reboot each computer 15 times. Well? What are you waiting for? Those computers aren't going to reboot themselves, you know. (This ronin is happy he has a Mac.)

It gets worse. CNN has never live-broadcasted a Trump rally – until the July 13 rally. What were they expecting to happen this time? And the shooter had three encrypted overseas accounts. And the shooter flew a drone over the site beforehand to get an overview – someone must have known about this. And audio-video forensics suggest that the location of at least one shooter was not on the rooftop but inside the building.
We're world famous! Portland is so lawless drivers are now ignoring roads and speeding their cars through parks, after dystopian city defunded its police department. So reports the DailyMail.
And here you are, Portlanders. You already can't enjoy much of the city you pay taxes for. But you thought that if you just stayed in your own neighborhood, you'd be OK. Guess what? Soon you'll have a "deflection center" not far from the neighborhood preschool and elementary school. These are the criddlers who want to take an easy opt-out so they won't have to go to jail.
It's no wonder that wealth managed in Portland dropped by $14 billion in 2023. I can understand Camas, since Fisher Investments left. What a hit that little municipality took. As Reagan said, "if you want less of something, tax it".
No regrets. People are apparently upset that conservatives are going after the ghouls that were disappointed that Trump didn't get killed. Like Cass McLeod-Skinner. This is a good read for conservatives who are hesitant to afuera! the hate-crazed radical Left.

A Eugene plasma center is being sued because of its HIV safety policy. So maybe it will have to go out of business if it loses, because you never know in Oregon. Then how is that going to help people?

Some may have reasons to object to building affordable housing for low-income people, but this has got to be one of the dumbest arguments.

Disgusting. USPS shared customer postal addresses with Meta, LinkedIn and Snap with tracking pixels. I discontinued that Informed Delivery "feature" a while back. Felt creepy. That feeling was justified.

Kotek was a half-billion increase in public school budget. What for? They underperform, have less students to worry about, and thanks to Kate Brown, don't even have objectives to meet. That money might be better spent.

Rumors about the future iPhone 17. Wishful thinking. We'll probably just get a thinner phone with more emoji options. And AI being insinuated into something you don't really need. And something having to do with Vision Pro, which people don't seem to be interested in anymore.
