This isn't strictly true. I was consumed by this idea yesterday and I resisted. This morning I gave in and I'm bumbling my way through getting the project stood up. I've never worked with Rust before, so we'll see how this goes.

"The Traitors’ Dan Gheesling is playing it too safe"
Katie and I watched Season 1 of the Traitors, and are watching Season 2. The Traitors is a reality show of the social deduction game Werewolf.
I never play social deduction games. I am incapable of divorcing my feelings and I always end up leaving the game emotionally unhappy. But, they are popular. Especially amongst the pro Magic player crowd. There was an avid support for the games and as such I picked up a fair bit of theory and strategy. I am certain there are rules in place that aren't covered on the broadcast, but even then - the poor level of play is maddening.
The author of this article on Polygon is criticizing Dan Gheesling, a legendary Big Brother player, who appears on the cusp of being eliminated from a game which seemed as if it was perfectly suited to Dan's gameplay.
We'll see.

Games Magazine first 100 issues on Archive.org
I have fond memories of Games magazine growing up. It was mostly for my mother, she did the crosswords etc. But I found them fun and tried to do puzzles in them, despite most of them being above my head.
This morning I got curious and began looking online for digital archives of old ones. Sure enough, I uncovered a number of them already available online.
Issue 100 was released in 1989, which means I may have seen it but would almost certainly have been too young to remember it. I'll have to look for more to see if I can uncover them.

Bellevue has a free Uber alternative (some limits may apply)
A fascinating model which could possibly catch on. Bellevue is a tech hub, so the model is largely to serve business visitors who need to get to offices etc., I expect.
In a recent column about riding the empty ghost trams of Seattle’s streetcar, I noted that the one in South Lake Union is costing taxpayers more than $20 per ride. I cracked: “It would have been cheaper for the city to pay for me to hire an Uber.”
One reader responded: “I’m fairly sure you were joking about the city hiring you an Uber … guess what, that’s exactly what they’re doing here in Bellevue! You should venture over to the smart side of the lake to check it out.”
A company called Circuit has been contracted to run a fleet of eight all-electric shuttles around the downtown portion of Bellevue. You can summon any of the shuttles with an app, and then ride anywhere within a 6-square-mile zone — for free.
The service is paid for by Bellevue’s hotel tax.
