[[A man leers as a woman removes her stockings.]]

Man: Oh! My angel of desire! Long have I caught my breath, ne’er daring hope that this day might come…

Man: One more glimpse of that alabaster flesh stirs in me a fever I’d but dreampt of on the boldest of painkillers.
Woman: Okay, just to be clear…

Woman: Girls aren’t always comfortable in the role of idealized object. Even girls fart.

Man: …like, often?
Woman: Sometimes I get a few seconds’ warning. I’ll try to throw you some sort of hand gesture.

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.
