WOW! Tennessee legislators expel two Democrats in the House after they led a raucus protest. Fantastic. Their expulsion had nothing to do with race, and everything about them acting like unruly jerks. Good on the Republicans. If kids can't behave, they shouldn't sit at the grownup's table.
Working in A.I. right now seems like a dystopian dot-com boom. Except that there's no money or cultural admiration to make people happy. Only the stress of trying to be the first to develop something first. With all the stress and burnout. And back then, we didn't have China to compete with.
ONE OF THEIR OWN. Silicon Valley has been pretty silent about the decline of San Francisco. Many of the workers, who are able to move out of the city, have done so, but the big tech moguls don't seem to express concern from their mansions in Woodside and Hillsborough.

More young people are getting colon cancer and doctors don't know why. Some people blame the COVID-19 vaccine, but the trend to an increase started much earlier, around 2002.

Maybe.When today's far right was 20 years ago's liberal.Let me help OPB: Just so we’re all on the same page… a red hat that says “Make America Great Again” is violent extremism… but the growing trend in shirts that reads “trans rights or else” with silhouettes of guns on it is nothing you need worry about.
OPB just thinks they have a handle on the majority opinion.
Google's reCAPTCHA may not be GDPR-compliant. Good. I hate it anyway. Let's scrap it.
HOW ABOUT JUST HAVING POLICE? The Oregonian suggests that we undergo bystander training to deal with downtown crime issues. Have they been inhaling too much of that newsprint ink?
There's so much city fire crap lately. Burning under bridges just can't be good for structural integrity, you know?
No wonder Portland is dead bottom on this graph:
