Intel is abandoning the DEI policies it once favored so much. But does it really matter anymore? Today, the CEO of chip design announced her resignation. Things are unraveling, and it is clear that company is doomed.
––– 良くない––– Portland's convention center business is declining. But listen to the director at Travel Portland.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure. And Portland leaders say there's no crime problem. Just like Chicago's leaders say.“Some of the reputational things we’d been going through in the past, that’s really fading into the rear-view mirror,” said Jon Hixon, Travel Portland’s vice president of business strategy. He said organizations that visit Portland now to scout the city for conventions are typically very pleased with what they find.
Looks like Seattle has its own Decarlos Brown situation. Riding public transportation in Blue cities is a life-risking decision.

Oregon among states with highest unemployment increases. No surprises here. And Intel isn't helping any.
And Tina Kotek is doubling down to make sure Oregonians have access to the COVID jab. Why do Dems feel that this is the hill they will die on? Will pharmacists risk legal trouble to defy the FDA just to please Tina?

Where are all the trillion dollar biotechs? Interesting article on where biotech is going. Less focus on drug repurposing now. I think the low-hanging fruit has been picked.

Redditor asks: What's the adult equivalent of finding out Santa isn't real? So depressing. Here's a few:
- It doesn’t matter how nice you are or how good of a person you try to be, there will always be people who will hate you for things you can’t change.
- Life isnt fair. Ppeople get an unfair advantage and theres nothing you can do about it
- Hard work gets you more work.
- Hot people do get treated better.
- That simply existing costs a lot of money.
- “Get a job in something you enjoy doing and you’ll never work a day” is a lie.
- There are no "grown ups" nobody is running the show. We are all utterly incompetent from the top all the way down. It is amazing our world functions at all.
- "In sickness and in health, until death do you part." It really should say until it gets hard or until something better comes along.
- The realization that every adult is just faking it and absolutely nobody knows what they’re doing
- Most adults are just grown up children.
If you meet someone wearing this, run the hell away. It's called The Friend, and it's not your friend. (Why, oh why, do some people think we need crap like this?)

Here's a WaPo reporter, assigned to talk to Terry Tao about his loss of NSF grant funding. And what does she ask? Inane questions, at the level of "What's it like to discover something in math?" Why doesn't she ask him about whether he's talked to UCLA leadership about why they are so intransigent about working with the Trump administration, which just wants UCLA to be non-discriminatory and non-biased against Jewish students and permit disruptive protests that interfere with the academic environment. This is all that Trump wants. Playing brinksmanship while allowing math research like Tao's to suffer is pure idiocy. Tao should just leave and join some other institution in a Red state, where he won't be bothered by crap like this.

What's going on in Wenatchee schools? Fights, chair throwing, stabbing, teachers punched. Sounds like an inner city school.
