The Flyers won their first playoff game in 6 years! 3-2 over the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
While the Phillies (8-12) continue with their lousy start to the season. They lost 3-1 at home versus the Br@ves.

How to Change the World - Hidden Brain Media Does power truly flow from the barrel of a gun? Political scientist Erica Chenoweth, who studied more than 100 years of revolutions and insurrections, says the answer is counterintuitive.

Say you want a revolution? Well, you should know.

Nonviolent protest is twice as likely to succeed compared to violent protest.

No, IIRC the jr. high school had one, but I didn't get to use it much. I learned BASIC on a TRS-80, then in high school we got a Commodore 64 at home. At Penn State they had Macs in the computer labs for word processing. I've built & used various Windows & Linux PCs. Today I have a MacBookPro M5 Pro
