Comic Transcripts

– Dear Aunt Mabel, Thank you very much for the wonderful black void.

– I’ve put it in my room where its all-encompassing lack of being can hopefully inspire me to clean once in a while!

– As utter non-existance goes, I’m glad you went for the medium size. It fits just right in my breakfast nook. Say hi to Uncle Crandall. Julie

– So what did you get for Christmas?
– Nothing, really.

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!
