Johnson is often cited as one of the worst Presidents in US History

#

only reason he became President is because Lincoln needed the southern vote and made him VP

Wait... I need a website. Because the one I have has different info

I'm confused, because Johnson was the president after Lincoln

that's correct

But Jackson was before

But this is the King's seal; seems he wanted to lay claim to divine right.

and I thought, that's odd

it's bound in vellum? That's really unusual for 1866

decided to investigate

apparently someone had screwed up

Magnavox just took the technology, stuck it in a fancy space age looking shell, and put it on shelves in 1972

It's hard to find these days because they only sold something like 200,000 units between 1972 - 1975

A formative gaming experience for me was on a weird outlier of the time: the TRS-80 Color Computer (or "Trash-80 COCO) as it was sometimes called. It was a cartridge game called "Dungeons of Daggorath" which may have been one of the first 3-D dungeon-crawler games in first-person perspective - with very low res vector graphics, and typed-in commands like the old text adventure games, and yet also sort of in real time.

It was like nothing I'd seen, and it was weirdly intense.

nasa Astronomy Pic of the Day: Young Stars, Stellar Jets

Explanation: High-speed outflows of molecular gas from a pair of actively forming young stars shine in infrared light, revealing themselves in this NIRcam image from the James Webb Space Telescope. Cataloged as HH (Herbig-Haro) 46/47, the young stars are lodged within a dark nebula that is largely opaque when viewed in visible light. The pair lie at the center of the prominent reddish diffraction spikes in the NIRcam image. Their energetic stellar jets extend for nearly a light-year, burrowing into the dark interstellar material. A tantalizing object to explore with Webb's infrared capabilities, this young star system is relatively nearby, located only some 1,140 light-years distant in the nautical constellation Vela.

One random last thought: Laurie Anderson's gloss on one of Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Philosophy of History":

She said, What is history?
And he said, History is an angel
Being blown
Backwards
Into the future
He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken

But there is a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the angel
Backwards
Into the future
And this storm, this storm
Is called
Progress
