Katie: Okay, c’mon, sample ballot page eight: Propositions. Shall the state chapter be amended and ordinance adopted to fund a bond measure allocated for infrastructural repairs?

Katie: Fiscal impact: State costs of $8 billion over five years. Are you GETTING this?!

Katie: Oh, Jules, there’s just so much for you to remember! And we haven’t even looked at Justice appointments.
Father: Katie, honey, you’re being very silly. Jules is a turtle. / The polls close in an hour. At a dead sprint he’d barely make it to the kitchen.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
