The cotton balls? Are for...in case you want to daub some on? I don't really understand, like, 'makeup' or whatever. Anyway, Merry Christmas

The British Library has just released a Flickr set of over a million archival images from their collection into the public domain. This is pretty wonderful! In their honor, I have made today’s comic out of their images exclusively, and I will even cite my sources:

The men: from here and here
The environments: Panel 3 here, the others here

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!
