Comic Transcripts

[[Three people greet a scout, who is wearing a heavy protective old-timey diving suit. They appear to have cybernetic bodies (or perhaps protective suits); their bodies are partially made of large objects of some kind. One is wearing a tophat and monocle.]]
Survivor: Any news from the surface?
Scout: It’s bleak out there.

Scout: Lots of weekend inertia not dissipating. Causing unnecessary and unplanned meetings. It’s TURBULENT.
Tophat: They said it would PASS by now! We should be well into WEDNESDAY!
Scout: OH no. It’s RAGING Monday. I can’t honestly predict we’ll see Tuesday until next week at best. And maybe not then.

Survivor: What do you MEAN, “maybe not then”?
Scout: Found some folks huddled around a Keurig. One of ’em thinks we MULTITASKED too much. Hit peak productivity and broke the whole thing.
Scout: We might not see Tuesday for a YEAR. We might be watching ALL FUTURE MONDAYS collapse into a superdense Mon-FOREVER.

Scout: We might be looking at an ETERNAL MONDAY.
Survivor: That’s – that’s CRAZY!
Scout: Listen very carefully to me. We won’t HAVE to be CRAZY to survive the upcoming Monday singularity and subsequent collapse of civilization – BUT IT IS GOING TO HELP.

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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!
