"When do we deploy the new variant?" So it looks like the whole COVID scare was planned. Governments were coordinating this to get the public to comply. Pitchforks, anyone?
This is the problem with cutting-edge technology. One country can establish policies that try to prevent unauthorized experimentation on humans until the full implications have been defined, but then countries (like China) will ignore these, copy the technology and plough on ahead. Screw ethics, right?
Two Canadian companies can now manufacture cocaine, heroin and MDMA. It'll be for medical purposes, they say. It always starts that way, doesn't it?
Another reason to make sure that your 25-OH vitamin D levels are in the recommended range. Dementia prevention.
Speaking of cutting-edge, the Stable Diffusion AI model can decode brain waves to figure out what image you are thinking of. This is cool, but raises privacy concerns, of course.
Better start buying print books from now on. If you purchase electronic books, they could be modified and edited to meet today's "woke" diversity and equity demands to remove racist or offensive content. They're doing it to Roald Dahl now, and will probably target Ian Fleming next.

Pediatrician-congressperson Dr. Lisa Reynolds, "at the request of the Department of Human Services" wants to anonymize food stamp debit cards, presumably to make it easier to trade them like currency.
San Francisco wants to create "supervised drug consumption sites". Looks like we're having opium dens again. People haven't learned the lessons of history.
This is interesting: Permitless concealed carry could be on the 2024 Oregon ballot. Finally, some sensible legislation, as police presence declines in Portland.
It's very sad when Washington Square is turning into Lloyd Center. A retail outlet has to close due to rampant theft. We need to keep Portland problems in Portland!
