Good morning! Today is a fresh start, a chance to pause and notice the little wonders around youโthe warmth of the sun, the sound of laughter, or the kindness of a stranger. These small, beautiful moments often hold the greatest joy. Take a deep breath, open your heart, and let gratitude guide you.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Is Released
Sega releases the second game for its top franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, for the Sega Genesis platform. Genesis was running second to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System with its franchise creations such as Mario and Starfox.
Given the title referencing Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the festive Piazza seems to stand in for the Capulet's ball. The young John Ruskin (1819โ1900), later a prominent art critic, defended Turner's artistic choices and any perceived inaccuracies in the portrayal of Venice. Ultimately, the painting speaks for itself, showcasing Turner's mastery of atmospheric effects and dynamic perspective in one of the most evocative works of his later career.
To the right is the upper level of the Doge's Palace, slightly compressed in Turner's depiction. Further right, the building with the slender cupola is the Zecca, or Mint, and just above it, two vertical brushstrokes suggest the iconic columns of the Lion of San Marco and San Theodore, situated in the Piazzetta. The Riva degli Schiavoni, teeming with boats, extends into the distance, while fireworks illuminate the sky above larger vessels near Palladio's San Giorgio Maggiore.
