Radeon 9xxx from two decades apart. Top: ATI Radeon 9800 PRO AiW Bottom: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Slightly disappointed to have missed on the naming. Owning two 9800 or 9700 cards would have been cool. #AMD #Radeon #GPU #Computer #Hardware

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

@planetmoney.bsky.social Hi Planet Money, you spend a lot of time talking about inflation and other government economic indicators. What do you think of this story published on politico? Is it worth having an interview with the author and digging in? www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The villain in Star Wars is fascism. It’s no secret. The Empire uniforms and beliefs were based on those of the Nazis. Because at the time of A New Hope, everyone agreed Nazis were bad guys.
