It is against Oregon law for state and local law enforcement or public agencies (state and local government offices) in the state of Oregon to participate directly or indirectly in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

CEO Marek Tyminski was present during the investor call, and later chimed in on Xitter to echo Hill's points and spread the word to CI Games's audience of (in Hill's phrase) "core and adjacent" players. In that tweet, he gives a clunky #shoutout to 2023's Lords Of The Fallen - a huge success for CI that has been savaged for its extensive launch bugs, and which is now being positioned for a "2.0" redemption. In confirmation that "anti-DEI" is now a CI Games PR campaign, Tyminski is also now openly toying with updating Lord Of The Fallen's character model labelling to suit transphobic, "anti-woke" ideas about gender.

These hawkish daydreams lend themselves easily, even inadvertently to active prejudice. Back in 2021, CI were obliged to apologise after throwing a preview event in which journalists were invited to shoot at people dressed as Arab stereotypes. In their apology, CI Games claim they weren't "directly" involved in the event and that as such, "certain decisions were overlooked". A DEI consultant might have helped them spot all that in advance.

The argument that games with "social or political agendas" are a risk commercially, meanwhile, echoes the reactionary claim that there isn't really an audience for games that express leftwing positions of any kind. I'm interested to see Hill put some actual figures behind that, because the comments thread battlecry "go woke, go broke" doesn't stand up to casual analysis.

Just look at Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 - "the biggest Call Of Duty ever", according to its creators, despite being the first Call Of Duty to feature a non-binary character, whose voice actor has had to deal with transphobic harassment. God Of War: Ragnarök, meanwhile, is a flawed deconstruction of patriarchy that features input from the narrative consultancy Sweet Baby Inc - a popular boogeyman for the DEI Detectors - and has still managed to sell tens of millions of copies. Fortnite hosts an annual pride event, amongst other "woke" initiatives, and remains one of the most-played games in history.

I was looking at exploring a new career and this looks like a fun opportunity to dip my toe into accounting.

Anyone familiar with it? Thank you.

In Portland, Oregon, Three Sisters Nixtamal sells fresh masa and tortillas locally and ships hominy, corn, and DIY nixtamalization kits nationally.

The tiny town of Antelope – population 37 – has become the first city in Oregon to receive a “Dark Sky Community” certification from DarkSky International.

Located in rural Wasco County in the north central part of the state, the town’s unofficial motto is, “Where you can see the Milky Way from Main Street.”

Idaho already bans almost all forms of abortion. In 2023, Idaho became the first state to create a new crime of “abortion trafficking,” which seeks to prevent people from helping minors obtain abortions in neighboring states where the procedure remains legal. Since then, lawmakers in at least five other states have introduced copycat bills. Tennessee enacted its own “abortion trafficking” ban earlier this year. Abortion rights advocates have also sued to block that ban. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the state from enforcing the law while the issue is litigated.
