1. People are sending me screenshots of their favorite "happy moments." Delightful.

2. Play with the filters. I think it's the most fun part.

My favorite bit here:

During their medal ceremony in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City on October 16, 1968, two African-American athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, each raised a black-gloved fist during the playing of the US national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner". Australian silver medalist Peter Norman wore a human-rights badge on his jacket in solidarity with Smith and Carlos
