This is a wonderful player mindset! Itās the same philosophy championed by Bernie Dekoven in āthe well played gameā: if we are both fully engaged in the game, the fruit is not the outcome but the unique experience we shared together. If only we could all approach games this way.

Crazy idea: What if we repurposed
#BlackFriday
? Maybe instead of shopping and consumerism that feeds oligarchy⦠it could be about supporting black artists and businesses? Maybe instead of concentrating wealth, we redistribute it?

A first for me: I wrote a song inside a dream! I was about to show it to some musical friends, started getting shy and stalling, then suddenly woke up. It was 3am so I jotted down the words with solfège, and tried to go back to sleep. Can now confirm: the song is⦠very mediocre!

When AI evangelists say āAI is just a toolā, it sounds a lot like āguns donāt kill peopleā. Sure they CAN be used for good⦠but thatās not why weāre complaining.

I love this idea. Weāre so numb to corporations trying to milk nostalgia for profit⦠that itās refreshing to see an org try to understand WHY we loved something in the past. If they can successfully recreate that atmosphere of peak MySpace / AIM days⦠Iām here for it.

We saw Wicked on Friday and I feel it one of the best musical to film adaptations Iāve seen. Very faithful to the original but also took a few smart opportunities to capitalize on the film medium. Canāt wait for part 2!
