A 13-year from Oklahoma has beat Tetris, the iconic old-school tessellation game. Now when we say beat, we mean literally. His score was so high, it pushed the game past its capacity and it crashed. Willis Gibson is believed to be the first human gamer to reach level 157 of the classic video game nearly 40 years after its release. Do you know how much effort, patience and brains it takes to literally beat Tetris at its own game?! “I’m going to pass out, I can’t feel my fingers,” Gibson said after his feat. He's no neophyte, either: The dextrous teen finished third in the 2023 Classic Tetris World Championship.

a quote ...

"The point is, art never stopped a war and never got anybody a job. That was never its function. Art cannot change events. But it can change people. It can affect people so that they are changed ... because people are changed by art – enriched, ennobled, encouraged – they then act in a way that may affect the course of events."

Leonard Bernstein, iconic American composer and conductor

in the documentary film “Bernstein’s Wall."

Loved all your stories, Jacki. And i especially loved your last smile. Finding ourselves might be a chance for our age. Not really easy but rewarding?
Have a good week ahead.
