Trust in Mozilla and Firefox is gone. Yeah, a lot of it anway. Here's a comparison table of alternative privacy-focused browsers. I picked LibreWolf as my privacy-focused Gecko-compatible browser. It's taken some time to tweak it to how I wanted, and I now realize how much privacy I was compromising to get access to certain content. Oh well, I guess.

And here's Google. They don't care what users say about privacy. They'll just put apps on your phone to scan your photos. Unannounced, of course. Google and Mozilla users sure are different, aren't they?

Cannabis addiction can destroy lives. Yeah, in medicine, doctors were told that cannabis was less dangerous than alcohol. This led to marijuana being legalized. But man, all the problems that came afterwards...

Belly fat is different from fat elsewhere in the body. It is more pro-inflammatory, which is why many obese people have chronically elevated white blood cell counts.
We're still discovering new things.Most adipocytes were fairly "classical" — meaning storing excess energy was their main purpose. But a small proportion of the fat cells were "non-classical," as their RNA suggested they carried out functions not typically associated with fat cells.Among these cells were "angiogenic adipocytes," which carried proteins usually used to promote blood vessel formation; "immune-related adipocytes," which make proteins related to immune cell functions; and "extracellular matrix adipocytes," which are related to scaffold proteins that help support cells' structures.
Senators Merkeley and Wyden want to create a permanent Office of Environmental Justice. What is environmental justice? Why anything you want it to mean. And for Democrats, it means dollars and federal funding. Yasss......

Incomes are rising everywhere except Multnomah County. Doom loop. And here's the New York Post telling everyone about the city's dysentery problem – another reason not to go to Portland.
Umatilla wants to install a small modular nuclear power installation. I bet Amazon has something to do with it.

Wow, Oregon legislature was actually contemplating not prosecuting theft of "basic needs items". They haven't learned from the Measure 110 fiasco and what the Bay Area suffered. How idiotic can that be?

Women talk a lot more than men, and quite a lot more. We needed a scientific study for that?

Cliff Bentz is getting a lot of hate. We're coming to realize how much of Oregon's economic well-being was fake, and dependent on continued flow of federal support. There was so much fat and bloat and money going to support all kinds of poorly-managed efforts. There was a lot of initial pain when Millei instituted measures to trim government waste and fraud, as well, and now the country is better off for it. We're still in that initial phase, and I understand that it is painful for a lot of people. But ultimately it will be to America's benefit. And we have to work to prevent the waste and abuse from building up again.

Another study showing that gender-affirming surgery, while beneficial in affirming gender identity, is associated with increased risk of mental health issues. There's no justification for this mutilative surgery.
