[[Man hunched in a drenching rain.]] You mind if I step under and get the rain off a bit?
[[Man safely under an umbrella.]] Hush that mad talk. It’s not *raining!*

Sorry to disagree, but I’m getting *powerful* soaked.
Oh, seems there *is* a touch of drizzle. Not sure what *I* can do about it, though! I can hardly control the weather!

That’s an *umbrella* you’re holding, no?
Yes, and it’s *great*. But letting *you* use it would be *unfair!* We are on the same street. We’re *equal.* You want *special treatment!* Why would I give up space under this ubrella? Did you *earn* it?

Did *you?*
Well, I was *born* with it, so I *must* have.

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!
