One of the burning questions facing the FGC is how to find more sponsors, especially non-endemic ones. A look at the trials and tribulations of motorsport provides a possible pathway. In this first part of a two-part series, we’ll look at how timepieces ended up being synonymous with motorsport, and why they may work well with the FGC as well.
Word smithy, A series (?) wherein I look closely and overanalyze an interesting phrase or quote (less pretentious name maybe incoming). Today, a quick look at the Freedom Dividend, the signature proposal of Andrew Yang’s candidacy.

The curious tale of how a Babylonian god turned herdsman misplaced his club and found two dogs instead.
Does weakness of will actually exist? Or is our judgement just bad? If we truly feel something is in our best interests, how can we not do it? Socrates certainly thought the idea was incoherent.
Bloomingdale's and Mario - a match made, uh, somewhere. Or maybe I'm just old and tragically unhip.
A quick attempt at putting together a design document for a GameMaker Studio 2 project. I want to establish a system for thinking about and implementing ideas. Otherwise, I suspect I will end up starting a dozen different things and finishing none of them.
The night sky is our shared treasure. Even in an increasingly urbanized society, you should take a moment to look up.
