DAVEY: How was the pasta? Good?
MARCO: Yeah, it was super filling.

DAVEY: Make a good lunch tomorrow though, huh?
MARCO: I dunno. I don’t think I want to carry it home.

DAVEY: Mmm

DAVEY: Hey, do you ever have weird ideas about how to better society? I had one. What if, at meals, everybody got into the habit of putting their plates into the center of the table once they were finished? So other people could work on the leftovers if they wanted, without it being awkward. That way, food wouldn’t have to go to waste

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.
