At its inception, Facebook had good intentions. It gave way to person-to-person communication where people would upload photos and share information about their lives with the world. It ensured transparency by making sure people couldn’t pretend to be someone they weren’t and it was started in 2004 by Harvard students. It was originally created for them alone, but as the word spread to students at other prestigious universities, its popularity and usage snowballed. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, there were over one billion users as of 2012.

When it comes to COVID-19, cases are climbing everyday. To get a better understanding it is often helpful to take a closer look. This article is about the explosion of cases in Wisconsin, and how Wisconsin is an example of a phenomenon happening all over the US. Medical experts have told us numerous times that we can get this under control by simple behavior shifts; however, these shifts have yet to happen. In Wisconsin, pizza delivery person, Kevin Kopplin, only saw one person wearing a mask to pick up pizza in nine months. Hospitals are about to overflow, and still people travel about their communities as much as they did before COVID-19.

The games I pick are usually ones that can be played by almost everyone. Be that hardware-wise or the actual content rating of the game. So sit back, grab yourself a nice cup of coffee, and listen to me go off-topic multiple times. Anyways, the game we will be reviewing today is Starbound.

During this year’s election, record numbers of LGBTQ+ people ran for office, with 220 elected out of the 600 potential LGBTQ+ candidates. Among these 220 representatives, there were historic numbers of transgender and BIPOC (Black and Indigenous people of color), too. “I am hopeful that tonight’s result can send a potentially lifesaving message to a young trans kid,” said Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person elected as a state senator in Delaware. Once she’s sworn in, she’ll become the highest-ranking transgender person in the government.

It is a three day celebration that holds a pageant, dance competition, talent showcase, and many speeches from honorable elders. The whole of the Hmong community came together and felt a sense of belonging to one another. Not only that, but it was a time to honor your past family members and welcome on the new year with good luck and prosperity.
