I host the goofy improvised sci-fi podcast "Dispatches from the Multiverse" & comment on podcasts, data, games, LEGO, real estate, economics, EVs, drones, & all things awesome. https://dispatches.fm/
I had a buddy who worked for RealNetworks here in Seattle from 2000 to 2002. They had a bowling alley in the basement of their HQ building that he brought me to once.

I guess what I'm saying is that their HQ was way cooler than their software.

💯

I also can't help but feel like there would be a lot less interest in gambling on every possible thing if people had their basic needs met, and felt like they could thrive and maybe even get ahead in a fair economy.

But when day-to-day life is rigged against them, they turn to other options…

I like to imagine my finger
As if it were something much bigger.

A big toothless shark,
Would quite scare my friend Mark.

I really can be quite the stinker.

@davidmalki.com is this all a ruse to secretly audition people for some kind of Machine of Death anthology spin-off? 😏

Behold the girl with the green bonnet!
It enlarged as the wind came upon it.

It ruined her gait,
Made it hard to walk straight.

As she read her pet snail a sweet sonnet.
