The Ghost Story in the Glass Case

On Two Used Staccatos and the Cost of Clarity Walking into a gun shop and spotting two used Staccato 2011 pistols, optics mounted, tagged at $3,500 each, is enough to make anyone pause. The fact that both came from the same seller? That's not just inventory—it&

Budget by Bot: A Triangulated Experiment in Machine-Led Municipal Oversight

What happens when you feed the proposed 2026 budgets of Portland and Multnomah County into two different large language models — and ask a third to critique their reports? You get a strange kind of triangulation: not just of fiscal data, but of institutional priorities, public values, and the challenges of

Obojima: The Long Grass Route

An Obojima Delivery Tale of Soup, Spirits, and Sentimental Machinery Morning arrives with the hush of a tea kettle just before its song.

Beyond the Prompt: Hiring AI-Literate IT Talent in an Age of Drift

In the age of shallow AI graves and accelerating cycles of try, fail, forget, hiring IT talent requires more than just a scan for buzzwords or tool familiarity. It demands an attunement to how people think with machines—how they experiment, reflect, and adapt under pressure. At the edge of

A Playable Folktale: The Polling Core’s Silence

A Playable Folktale for drifters, hyperpigs, and a core that lost its vote. This is not a system to save or a core to conquer. It is a mirror for what voted, what silenced, and what hums in the Glitter Band’s cracks. What You Need * 2–6 participants * A

The Cheeky Art of Saying Nope

Mic Drops, Misfiled Forms, and the Communal Dance of Refusal Refusal isn’t always a megaphone or a middle finger. Sometimes it’s a sly wink, a sidestep, or a polite “hard pass.” The Ledger of Refusal is a scrapbook of these rebellious moments—when folks ditch the script and
