Today is Happiness Happens Day as observed by the Society of Happy People. According to their web site and Wikipedia one of their first claims to fame was fussing at Ann Landers. Seems like a cranky thing for happy people to do, but what do I know?

It’s been a big year for video games, and it’s not over yet. The next big release is Starfield on 6 September.
While not the first video game, Spacewar!, developed in 1962, is the first known video game to be played at multiple computer installations. Here’s what 1962 looked like compared to 2023.

I watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 now that it’s streaming. I enjoyed it, but I’m glad I waited instead of going to see it in a theater. Of course, as I’ve said before, there’s no movie I can think of in recent memory that I would go to see in a theater. Maybe I’m a misanthrope, or maybe I’m too old to want to put up with it, but even before COVID I was tired of how some people behave in places like that. I heard two people on a podcast recently talk about people’s lack of courtesy on airplanes as well. It’s not a new phenomena, but it’s no less tolerable. Anyway, GotG3 was fun, but if you plan to see it and you’re an animal lover, be prepared.

It seems like a good day to post this.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Stay healthy and safe.
