trying to upgrade my streaming rig so I can play some more modern games; can some people who know computers better tell me if any of these will work?

Something I'd like to see in writing a lot more often:
"More than 1,600 American children have died of Covid - nearly 80% of them after in-person learning resumed in 2021 - but we talk about their experience of Covid now primarily in terms of school closings and learning loss."

- David Wallace-Wells

“Congress would later find that though bureau officials undertook COINTELPRO in the name of national security, its purpose was “preventing or disrupting the exercise of First Amendment rights.” The program took tactics developed for use against foreign adversaries during war and applied them to citizens: leaking phony allegations, sending anonymous poison-pen letters, interfering with jobs, having people arrested on drug charges, distributing misinformation, and encouraging violence. “In essence, the Bureau took the law into its own hands, conducting a sophisticated vigilante operation against domestic enemies,” the committee said. “Many of the techniques used would be intolerable in a democratic society even if all of the targets had been involved in violent activity, but COINTELPRO went far beyond that. The unexpressed major premise of the programs was a law enforcement agency has the duty to do whatever is necessary to combat perceived threats to the existing social and political order.”

Perhaps it's over for you, but
#CovidIsNotOver for me
Today was a good day
Pain level only a three

After five years now
Yes, I know, it's a bore
But please #WearAMask
#LongCovid hurts more

Saw this somewhere and yep

“There's nothing that pisses the system off more than our hedonism,” Helen told me on a rainy evening. We who transgress the heteropatriarchal norm (dykes, queers, trans, whores, feminists...) are summoned to pay the toll of unhappiness. We can exist on the margins, provided we are truly unhappy. People always prefer to present us as victims: we shouldn't serve as an example.”

👩🏾Yes! And Haiti!

🧔🏼‍♂️Huh?

👩🏾And Haiti! They already did this to Haitian refugees!

🧔🏼‍♂️Uh sure! Whatever! I mean of course! Haiti too! But Ukraine!
