Happy Manufacturing Monday!
If you’re looking for a new Mario game without bananas peels ruining your lap or getting bounced off course right before the finish line, the Mario 64 Cake Timing Game is great!

Welcome to my Mario 64 Cake Carnival Timing Game! The cake is modeled after the end screen in Mario 64. The active light moves around the cake in a circle. The goal of the game is to stop the light on the star by pressing the button on the cake cutter. The game gets more difficult after each success by incrementing the level and speed. An LED matrix in the center of the cake is used to display the level. All of the electronics are inside the cake and cake stand. If you fall below zero you’ll get a sad face, but reach level 10 and get a bright smile!
I hadn’t heard of so many of these places! Definitely will visit when I can, from Atlas Obscura Lists.
Second-class citizenship forced many Black Americans to create their own communities, where they could live freely. These ranged from beaches where they could enjoy a summer day along the Jersey Shore during the height of segregation, to farming communities that helped Black ranchers, farmers, craftsmen, and business owners create a livelihood, in the face of a society that was otherwise shuttered to them.
Here are 9 places you can visit today that provided Black Americans with some of what America had been denying them, on the ongoing journey to equality and freedom.
