Containment has failed. All available agents of the Federal Bureau of Control, these are your orders: Make the public aware of the ████████ threat. New York. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Seattle. Portland. London. Berlin. Helsinki. Seek out the posters. Spread the word. Take back control.

I had the opportunity to attend the Thriving in Games Group’s launch event for the release of Power Play last week! It was so great to connect with others in NYC interested in the power and culture of gaming! And they took great pictures of everyone 😎

BNN Bloomberg acknowledged that no study of basic income has found a meaningful reduction in work. What it does do is let people take risks leading to better careers.
