Cool to see a great digital board game get a physical version! Armello is certainly worth a play on Steam, but I'm very excited to see how they translate it to the real world! 🎲

Quote found on a trail sign in Ermerald Lake Park (Melbourne, Australia). I can't help but read this as a variant of "kill 'em all and let God sort them out" ... like the Grim Reaper has gone full cowboy!

EDUCATION SHOULD NOT INDEBT YOUR POPULATION.
HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE TIED TO HAVING A JOB.
A LIVING WAGE SHOULD SUPPORT A LOCAL LIFESTYLE.
EMPLOYEE WELLBEING IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO COMPANY HEALTH.
SOCIETY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS POOREST, NOT ITS WEALTHIEST.

Microsoft making the bold play of laying off 1900 game devs in January then spending countless millions of dollars on a Superbowl ad promoting how their new AI effortlessly replaces them...
Cool future, Microsoft. Very cool.

"As of January 22, 2024, at least 3,877 people have been (or will be) laid off this year." -via Kotaku
Three weeks into 2024 and nearly 4000 individuals (and their families) are being added to the moutain of blood and tears left by 2023.
This is well and beyond enraging.

AMAZING NEWS, TRAVELERS! I just learned Google Maps now lets you add ICONS to your custom lists, which means better visibility and granularity into all your pinned locations! 😍
This is a *huge* boost to usability and organization! Thanks Google!

So this is roughly the length of the Fellowship of the Ring on the Reykjavik ✈️ Seattle flight path.
FUN FACT: while it *looks* like it plays for most of the journey, in reality, it only lasts for ~37% of the flight. This is because the poles are being condensed in this visualization of the globe.

This hit hard.
Year after year, it feels like we're fighting ourselves to fix all this... It's hard to not internalize so much anger for the people holding us back.
But the people who carry us forward do so with passion, love, and dedication to what's right. Absolute inspirations, the lot of them.

TIL: There are two endings to the movie, Army of Darkness. 😯
The one I knew was apparently the good ending ("Hail to the king, baby."); tonight, I discovered the bad ending.
