[[AUGUST stands in the street, watching something we cannot see. A woman approaches him.]]

ISABELLA: What–
What IS it?

AUGUST: I think it’s–

AUGUST: I think it’s the SECOND COMING.

[[The city is in flames. People are leaping from windows and rioting in the streets. Fire brigades try desperately to control the flames, and in the middle of it all, towering over the burning buildings and tiny people, stands the enormous, stovepipe-hatted figure of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.]]

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!
