This blog is very close to becoming useless and irrelevant to me, a 30 year employee and now retiree of the labs. I used to like seeing what was new and what was controversial at the labs, and who was in or out. Now it is just filled with political garbage and woke nonsense. Scooby has lost his mind and his previously pretty solid direction. So it goes. I'll check back in a few months to see if sanity has reestablished itself here, on a purportedly scientifically-focused blog. Carry on, as you will.

Blog contributors drive the value of the blog. It is not about me.
Since the blog inception in 07,I have not changed a thing, except for refraining from yelling irate readers "don't let the door hit you..... "
Your perceptions and expectations have changed.

Seems like the blog has had been plenty of stuff relevant to the labs in the past few months. There Koonin, speech, possible Wuhan lab leak, fusion energy, green energy and so on. The blog seems fairly consistent to me. Sure there are times when there is activity like during a contract change but on the whole the blog pretty much the same. If you have interesting information on the labs lets hear it. Even when someone brings up a point on the lab there is plenty of people who just get upset that such topics are being brought up.
Here is one for you. Have the recent hires in the past few years been (1) Higher quality. (2) The same quality. (3) Lower quality. I am sure that this will get someone to say this is irrelevant. I could go further and ask if (3) lower quality than one could ask (1) It is important, (2) it is unimportant, (3) who cares. I have my opinions on this and I can provide evidence if the conversation gets going.
I have hated this blog for years and stoped reading after TRIAD won. I never look at it any more.
Triad has been managing LANL since Nov. 1, 2018. Triad "won" the contract on June 8, 2018 over 3 years ago. I do not understand your comment. Anyway, I think this blog still has value, but I understand some do not like forums where opinions are shared that are not sanctioned by the subject matter.
And yet, here you are! Did the blog somehow jump from the ether and burrow itself into your frontal lobe so you knew the precise moment to make a reappearance? Is this an after effect of a Covid vaccine?
My personal method for discerning things I don't read is the Magic 8 ball.
