53 years ago, on the 29th of November 1972, Atari released Pong, which was originally created by Allan Alcorn as a training exercise. It was based on the ping-pong game available on the Magnavox Odyssey home video game console. Pong was the first commercially successful video game. #otd #history 🗃️

For Americans it’s: Anyone who thinks the Dems and Republicans, those 2 groups of elected clowns, will fix the damage in the future that the Republicans are doing now didn’t notice the tiny expensive and pod-for car they all arrived in together.
If you think a seventh prime minister in ten years will magically solve the structural problems, deep malaise and febrile atmosphere caused by austerity, Brexit and social media, you're a fundamentally unserious person.

🐾 Sightings of black panthers, especially in Africa, are insanely rare, let alone capturing one on camera. Well, English photographer Will Burrard-Lucas pulled it off in an incredible fashion, also confirming its existence in Kenya.

The "pinky promise" originates from the Japanese tradition called yubikiri, which means “finger cut off.”
Breaking a promise was a grave offense that could result in cutting off one’s little finger as punishment.
It evolved into a symbolic gesture rather than a literal one.

Someone needs to ask K. Leavitt if she's upset about this. Her response will be telling. Revere, Mass., should rise up and scream bloody murder about this one...keep Leavitt's face and words on the protest signs and viral videos.
“A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by ICE agents in Revere, Massachusetts. The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.”

Is there any-goddamned-abominable-thing that will pierce the dull, leathery heart of Karoline Leavitt? Is there any act that Trump has committed that will snap her out of her evil-drenched lapdoggery? She's the Queen of DisGraceLand and will hopefully, in her old age, die on a toilet by herself.

What a photo. What a life story (for all of them). Except Castro, he sucked. He’s my least favorite ball player. Probably hate him more than Clemens and Aaron Boone combined. Also Boggs, why’d you break my heart? But the Miller Lite story endeared him to me again. (My baseball hate isn’t rational.)
Luis Tiant with his mom and dad on September 11, 1975. His parents were granted permission from Fidel Castro to watch their son pitch in the Major Leagues, the last time they saw him was in 1961. Luis Tiant Sr pitched in the Negro Leagues and was known for his great Screwball.

I’ve played only a few times but even before I played this game is soothing to watch. Nearly meditative in its presentation.
