Designing a board game that works well for exactly two players is a very different challenge from designing one that supports a range of player counts. Many games include a two-player mode, but board games such as Patchwork and Jaipur show that a dedicated head-to-head experience can be unique and not simply an adapted and reduced version of a game that is really aimed at larger player counts. In this article, I want to look at the design challenge these dedicated two-player-only games present.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2026/07/14/the-two-body-problem-design-challenges-of-two-player-only-games-topic-discussion/Useful LinksPatchwork review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/11/21/patchwork-digital-eyes/Jaipur review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/02/29/jaipur-saturday-review/Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design: https://www.routledge.com/Building-Blocks-of-Tabletop-Game-Design-An-Encyclopedia-of-Mechanisms/Engelstein-Shalev/p/book/9781032015811Rules of Play: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262240451/rules-of-play/Fundamentals of Game Design: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Fundamentals-of-Game-Design-by-Ernest-Adams/9780321929679MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music by: BensoundLicense code: 9FDOOSFAVUSZQWDPArtist: : Lunar YearsMusic: "in between violence" provided by mobygratis.SupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Photo by Planet Volumes on Unsplash)

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine traces the evolution of gospel from its spiritual roots through the dancefloor, starting with classic soul-gospel foundations before ascending into the ecstatic realms of gospel disco and ultimately gospel house. From Andrew Gibson's gratitude through The Clarke Sisters' overwhelming holy ghost overdose to Barbara Tucker's iconic "I Get Lifted" and the remixed glory of Alicia Myers and Patchwork's Joubert Singers, these are big vocals, transcendent melodies, and unshakeable faith meeting the beat that makes bodies move. It's two hours that prove gospel music never left the church—it just found new sanctuaries on the dancefloor, where elevation happens through both spirit and rhythm.

Sie liebt ihren Partner und hat gleichzeitig das Gefühl, ständig auf die nächste Katastrophe zu warten. Irgendwann fragt sie sich: Stimmt hier wirklich etwas nicht – oder verliere ich langsam das Vertrauen in mein eigenes Gefühl? Mara lebt seit eineinhalb Jahren in einer Patchwork-Beziehung. Ihr Partner hat eine kleine Tochter, eine konfliktreiche Ex-Partnerin und scheint für alles und jeden Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Mit der Zeit merkt Mara, dass nicht nur die Ex-Frau oder die Erziehung der Tochter sie belasten. Sie verliert sich selbst immer mehr in einem System, in dem niemand so richtig sortiert hat, wer eigentlich für was verantwortlich ist. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber: • warum viele Frauen in Patchwork-Familien unbemerkt zu viel Verantwortung übernehmen • weshalb ständige Krisen im Außen uns innerlich erschöpfen können • wie alte Beziehungserfahrungen unsere Wahrnehmung beeinflussen • warum Abgrenzung nichts mit Egoismus zu tun hat • und weshalb eine gesunde Beziehung manchmal damit beginnt, Verantwortung zurückzugeben Eine Folge über Selbstfürsorge, Patchwork-Familien, emotionale Belastung und die Frage, wie man aufhört, alles zusammenhalten zu wollen.

Send us Fan MailAnother month and another deep dive on a modern classic - we spoil you.In this month's edition, we cast our critical eye over the 2 player only, oft recommended, Patchwork by the incredible Uwe Rosenburg. While this is obviously two player focused, we do rate the game against all our usual criteria and see how it stacks up. We hope you enjoy it!Support the showFind us on Social Media FacebookTwitterInstagram

In this debut story collection Patchwork Dolls (Blair, 2026), Ysabelle Cheung weaves an eerie fabulism with tales that cross continents, technology, and time. Set in Hong Kong and America--between the present day and an uncannily altered future--this story collection warps the familiar rules of our world to ask: what does it mean to be Asian and a woman--living under the specter of state and technological surveillance--or trying to break free from it? In the title story, a young woman of color realizes she can make her fortune by surgically selling her facial features to whiter, wealthier clients. In "Please, Get Out and Dance," a group of rebels escapes a city that is literally disappearing around them--building by building, person by person--to migrate to a new home beneath the ocean, defying their government's mandate. "Herbs" follows an elderly widow who, when the clones of her dead husband start to appear uninvited in her home, must grapple with her memories. In each of these stories, Cheung tilts the world just slightly off its axis to bring together a haunting meditation on what it means to survive within our increasingly digitized and mechanized world. Ysabelle Cheung is a writer and art critic based in Hong Kong. Her Fiction has appeared in Granta, Slate, and The Rumpus. She was awarded the 2023 Aspen Words Fellowship and was in residence at the Jan Michalski Foundation in 2024. Her essays and criticism have appeared in The Atlantic, Artforum, and Lit Hub. She is the co-founder of a contemporary art gallery in Hong Kong called the PhD Group. Recommended Books: Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life Sayumi Kamakura, Applause for a Cloud Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature, is published with Bloomsbury Publishing. He is the co-director of The New Voices Festival, a celebration of work in poetry, prose, and playwriting by up-and-coming young writers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose de rencontrer l'association France Patchwork, représentée par Isabel, présidente et Corinne, responsable du site internet et des réseaux sociaux. Dans cet épisode enregistré au salon Pour l'amour du fil, nous plongeons au cœur d'une véritable institution du monde textile français qui célèbre ses 42 ans d'existence. Elles nous dévoilent les coulisses d'une association entièrement gérée par des bénévoles passionnés, dont l'engagement total représente l'équivalent colossal de 10 emplois à temps plein. Nous parlons ensemble de la manière dont ces membres font cohabiter les traditions du patchwork avec les élans de modernité pour séduire et embarquer les nouvelles générations. Isabel et Corinne nous partagent les secrets de leurs animations phares, comme le fameux "Quilt Mystère" qui tient en haleine des centaines de passionnées chaque année de septembre à juin , ou encore la Journée Européenne du Patchwork où l'art textile s'empare littéralement de l'espace public. Nous explorerons aussi l'envers du décor de leur revue trimestrielle très professionnelle et la dimension solidaire et caritative incroyable qui lie les passionnées de fil, des couveuses de néonatalogie aux maraudes du Samu Social. Bonne écoute !Mélanie

Ännie und Laura sind seit acht Monaten zusammen, führen eine Fernbeziehung und wollen jetzt zusammenziehen – zu sechst, mit Ännies zwei kleinen Kindern und Lauras zwei Teenagern. Was die beiden Frauen zu Eric Hegmann bringt, ist kein akuter Konflikt, sondern Prophylaxe: Beide haben schon eine gescheiterte Langzeitbeziehung hinter sich. Und beide wissen, wie es sich anfühlt, wenn ein Paar sich im Alltag verliert.Warum sie kommen, bevor es zu spät ist Laura hat in ihrer Ehe gelernt, dass ein Paar sich in der Kinderlogistik verlieren kann. Ännie hat gelernt, dass keine Kommunikation keine Basis ist. Beide bringen diese Erfahrungen bewusst mit – und wollen diesmal früh genug hinschauen.Zwei Biografien, zwei Wege zu sich selbst Laura war neun Jahre verheiratet und brauchte sechs Jahre, um sich aus dem Stillstand zu befreien. Ännie kam aus einer langen Beziehung mit einem Mann, in der ein Wunsch nach einer lesbischen Beziehung langsam und leise gewachsen ist. Die beiden Frauen haben sich gefunden, ohne es wirklich geplant zu haben.Das verrät das Kuschel-Experiment Die beiden sitzen die gesamte Sitzung so nah zusammen, dass Eric ihnen das Experiment aufgibt, getrennt zu sitzen. Was sichtbar wird: Beide regulieren ihre Nervosität über Körperkontakt. Das ist menschlich und hilfreich – aber auf lange Sicht braucht es auch die Fähigkeit, sich selbst zu halten.Unterschiedlich sein und trotzdem verbunden Laura hat ein Bild: Zwei Säulen, ein Dach. Jede bleibt die, die sie ist – und trotzdem tragen beide dasselbe. Eric macht deutlich, dass Verbindung nicht Gleichheit braucht. Sie entsteht gerade dann, wenn die andere sich zeigt, wie sie wirklich ist.Erics TippsSchutzstrategien verstehen statt persönlich nehmen – was der andere tut, hat oft wenig mit dir zu tun. Co-Regulation ist schön, aber Selbstwirksamkeit ist das Ziel. Und: Es gibt keinen Schalter – nur den Prozess, der sich lohnt.Alle Folgen vom Podcast und der TV-Doku: https://www.ndr.de/paartherapie Ihr wollt euch als Paar bewerben? paartherapie@ndr.de ©NDR 2 Host und Autorin: Maria Richter Paartherapeut: Eric Hegmann Formatidee: Kathrin Lindemann, Nele Pasch Formatentwicklung: Kira Drössler, Laura Leick Distribution: Nina Wietholz, Max Rohloff und Julia Hercka Gäst:innen-Management: Emma Leandra BärenzSound-Design: Isola Music & Warner Chappell Production MusicSprecher: Markus Kästle Produktion: Oliver Kleist Redaktion: Sascha SommerPodcast-Tipp: „40+ Die Podcast-Therapie“: https://1.ard.de/40plus-die-podcast-therapie(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:17) Warum sie kommen, bevor es zu spät ist(00:09:33) Zwei Biografien, zwei Wege zu sich selbst(00:22:42) Das verrät das Kuschel-Experiment(00:35:33) Unterschiedlich sein und trotzdem verbunden(00:43:34) Erics Tipps

Lange wirkte es, als hätten Schauspieler und Musiker Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht und Reality-Star Yeliz Koç nach vielen Turbulenzen einen friedlicheren Umgang miteinander gefunden. Zur Erinnerung: Die beiden trennten sich während Yeliz' Schwangerschaft mit der gemeinsamen Tochter Snow — doch dieser Patchwork-Frieden ist offenbar endgültig geplatzt. Statt Versöhnung gibt es nun wieder schwere Vorwürfe, öffentliche Abrechnungen und neuen Streit. Auch um Snow. Wie es so weit kommen konnte und wer sich aus der Familie Ochsenknecht außerdem noch eingemischt hat, darüber sprechen wir in einer neuen Folge BUNTE Menschen. Außerdem: Taschenpfändung bei Tennislegende Boris Becker, doppeltes Mama-Glück bei Popstar Lena und Baby-News von Hollywood-Schauspielerin Anne Hathawy.

Un moment suspendu, enregistré en public au salon nantais Pour l'amour du fil, où l'on a pris le temps de parler d'histoire, de technique et d'amitié.Le patchwork est bien plus qu'une simple activité manuelle de loisir créatif.

Mit Corin Ballhaus, Co-Autorin unseres Buches «Mein Geld im Griff» und Vorsorgeexpertin, spreche ich in dieser Episode darüber, vor welchen rechtlichen und finanziellen Herausforderungen Patchworkfamilien in der Schweiz stehen.Gemeinsam beleuchten wir, warum das Konkubinat rechtlich nicht existiert und weshalb proaktive Absicherungen bei der Pensionskasse entscheidend sind. Zudem diskutieren wir die Tücken des Erbrechts bei Stiefkindern sowie die Risiken für Singles, deren Pensionskassengeld im Todesfall einfach im System verbleiben kann.Du hörst in dieser Episode:Warum das Schweizer Vorsorgesystem Patchwork-Konstellationen benachteiligt Wie eine Scheidung zu grossen Dellen in der Pensionskasse führtWie das revidierte Erbrecht funktioniert und warum Stiefkinder ohne eine Adoption komplett leer ausgehen könnenWarum Singles und Alleinstehende ihre Pensionskassengelder genau prüfen und unter Umständen als Kapital beziehen sollten Alle Episoden mit Corin Ballhaus:161 - 7 Dinge, die Frauen über Geld wissen müssen119 - Die Auswirkungen von Teilzeitarbeit auf deine Rente061 – Die Pensionskasse: So kann ich jetzt Einfluss nehmen033 - Wenn das Geld knapp wird: Das kannst du tun!028 - Als Frau den Schritt in die Selbständigkeit wagen002 - Finanzen in allen LebenslagenMehr von Corin Ballhaus:https://www.ballhaus-profiling.ch/Werbung:Sponsorin dieser Staffel ist die ⁠⁠Bank Cler⁠⁠.

Development of large-scale data centers is booming across the Midwest. The number of data centers in Illinois is set to nearly double, while Missouri already has 91 of them, mostly centered around St. Louis and Kansas City. But water and energy usage are rallying some communities against data centers. As Harvest Public Media's Abigail Bottar reports, local and state governments are rushing to regulate this growing industry.

Drunk Duck has been around for 24 years now and in that time we've been the home for thousands of creators. We're a happy collaborative community that celebrates people's personal creative efforts, all for free, though we do super appreciate people's support through advertising and Patreon. Above all we are egalitarian and community driven, we support diversity of style, talent, and since it's pride month; gender and sexuality too. The creativity of humans on projects that they're passionate about and want to share with others is why we exist. Generative Ai is something we don't support on the site though. We had open discussions about it when it was blowing up and decided in the end that it doesn't fit with the vibe of our site. At its heart it's simply a copyright theft machine that spits of generic pastiche using people's genuine copyrighted creations as fuel, openly stealing their IP and regurgitating an averaged out imitation. We felt so strongly we wrote it into our site's Terms Of Service and appointed Tantz Aerine as our Tzarina in charge of policing that. No one person represents what we are. We support diversity and creation and that's all. This week our best-off from Gunwallace is: Patchwork and Lace - Darkness abounds, walking into a dark tomb, past shadows and demon parasites, into mysteries beyond light and human understanding. Deep underground where humans were never meant to venture, learning horrific truths about the universe and what lies beyond… The distorted bass line takes you down… deep down.

Steiny & Guru discuss the Warriors process this summer and if it's incorporating anything long-term or if the moves, LBJ-related, are just for the now. Is that smart?!

Steiny & Guru wonder if the Warriors are approaching this summer the smart way by going big fish hunting again, even if it sets back whatever youth movement they're looking to eventually go for.

Wir reden viel über Familie. Aber meinen wir das Gleiche, wenn wir das Wort benutzen? Im systemischen Sinn ist Familie nicht nur die Verwandtschaft am Sonntagstisch, sie ist ein Feld aus Zugehörigkeiten, Loyalitäten und stillen Aufträgen und in diesem Feld sitzt sehr viel von dem, was du heute lebst, ohne dass du es immer wieder erkennst. Was du aus dieser Folge mitnimmst Familie ist mehr, als du im Alltag siehst. Sie geht zurück und nach vorne, sie umfasst auch Menschen, an die niemand mehr denkt und sie wirkt. Du lebst in zwei Familiensystemen. In der Herkunftsfamilie, in die du geboren wurdest, und in der Wahlfamilie, die du gründest. Beide haben ihre eigene Grundordnung. Wenn du Themen hast, liegen sie häufig erst in der Herkunftsfamilie. Patchwork hat eine eigene Ordnung. Frühere Partner haben einen Platz, auch wenn sie nicht mehr im Alltag sind. Kinder gehören zu ihren leiblichen Eltern, nicht zum neuen Partner. Familie ist ein ganz eigener Liminalraum. Die Loyalitätsbindungen und Verstrickungen entscheiden, ob du über die Schwelle gehen kannst oder nicht.  Der eine Satz, der diese Folge zusammenhält Was im System keinen Platz bekommen hat, sucht sich einen und meistens nimmt es den von jemand anderem. Von einem Kind, einem Enkel, einer Tochter. Erwähnt in dieser Folge F113 Wer gehört dazu?

James from SomX chatted through all the best news from this week with Patchwork's Dr Anas Nader

Motherhood is a team sport. We need coaches, heroes, teammates, both in the game and on the bench, ready to come in. In this episode, I share lessons from some of my earliest motherhood mentors, from how to pursue your passions to how to keep kids from making such a mess.  

Maddie Ballard (she/her) is a writer of mixed Chinese heritage from Aotearoa New Zealand. Her debut essay collection was published as Bound: A Memoir of Making and Remaking (The Emma Press, 2024) in the UK and Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary (Tin House, 2025) in the US. She co-edits Starling, a literary journal for emerging New Zealand writers, and writes a sporadic Substack. She currently lives in Melbourne. In Patchwork, a charming and evocative sewist's diary, Maddie Ballard explores the making (and sometimes remaking) of seventeen specific garments over a period of great change in her life—from a jacket lined with the embroidered Cantonese names of her female ancestors, to a dressing gown made as a gift for a dear friend, to an eco-friendly, zero-waste dress. As the wardrobe grows, so too does Maddie. From her first off-kilter dresses and coats to perfectly fitting pants, readers follow along as she learns to navigate the world around her and how she sees herself in it—both as she is and as she hopes to be. Stitch by stitch, word by word, Maddie drafts her own patterns for ways of living. Throughout the diary, delightful illustrations bring Maddie's creations to life on the page. With a focus on the practical comfort and pleasure provided by sewing in a time of personal renewal, Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary is a warmhearted celebration of the value of craft in the modern age.

Imagine living in a spaceship that never leaves the ground. For Tomika, the megastructure she manages is exactly that. It features glittering lights on the ceiling and walls of polished nano-fiber stone, yet the luxury hides a desperate reality. No one can go outside. The inhabitants depend entirely on life support machines and periodic connections to a world they can no longer reach. Tomika never asked to lead, but the people around her seem ready to give up if she doesn't guide them. She wears blue coveralls like a space captain and binges AI-generated movies to escape her irritable bowels and constant anxiety. While she fixes the cooling systems and reinforces walls against massive storms, her biggest challenge is the psychological toll of the "permanent sleep". Her colleagues are choosing to leave reality for virtual worlds, leaving her increasingly alone in the echoing halls. Technology in this world is both a savior and a wedge. Gamers control "remote-in" robots to repair the building's exterior, earning points in a high-stakes simulation that blurs the line between work and play. Some residents, like Phyllis, have abandoned their failing biological bodies entirely. They transfer their brains into specialized containers to pilot sleek, doll-like robotic frames that feel no pain. The tension lies in the divide between the "root world" and the virtual one. While Tomika struggles with mud and maintenance, others spend their days in a VR paradise where they can eat without calories and live in pristine digital farmhouses. This tech offers a release from the trauma of the storms, but it also creates a society of "reality-challenged" individuals who are slowly forgetting how to exist in the physical world. You have to wonder what you would choose if the world outside was a constant hurricane. Would you stay in the drafty halls with Tomika, fighting to keep the geothermal plant running? Or would you take the "canal link" and the stasis bed to live a perfect, simulated life? The story explores that thin line where survival ends and checking out begins.TechPhase-change cooling system uses a liquid that freezes and melts at room temperature to store cold at night and absorb heat during the day for stable indoor conditions without loud machinery. Nano-fiber stone forms polished foundational columns that cast faint reflections throughout the building. Cleaner bots autonomously maintain floor cleanliness throughout the facility. Chests with legs are mobile robots that deliver food to resident apartments. Remote-in robots are exterior and repair bots controlled by humans immersed in virtual reality. Half-size remotes are small droids that crawl through walls and floors to perform maintenance and repairs. Insta-generated space movies are AI-created entertainment content produced on demand for viewers. Holo-screen windows are transparent displays that can dim or show external feeds to reduce psychological impact. E-sleeves are wearable smart devices that display time and personal information. Canal Links are ear implants that allow direct audio connection to the Assist AI system. A.R. glasses provide augmented reality overlays for navigation, information, and entertainment. Assist is the building's AI assistant that provides information, guidance, and task management. Multi viral-vector serum is a medical treatment that temporarily restores fertility while filtering against hundreds of genetic diseases. Sleep pens are handheld injectors that deliver fast-acting sedatives for pain management or sleep. Medical robots are automated healthcare systems that monitor, diagnose, and treat residents. Full-body haptic rigs sync human movement with remote robots for exterior construction work. Outside Crawler robots are wall-climbing machines controlled remotely to repair the building's exterior during storms. Enzyme welding technology uses biological catalysts and crystallizing foam to bond and reinforce structural surfaces. Vibration sensors detect hairline fractures and weak spots in the building's outer walls. Crystallizing foam is a repair material that blooms outward, liquefies grime, and hardens to strengthen damaged surfaces. Stasis V.R. is an advanced virtual reality system allowing immersive experiences without traditional plug-in equipment. Nerve grafted devices are biological-tech interfaces that enable direct neural connection to virtual reality systems. T.M.S. caps are wearable therapeutic devices with scalp nodules that treat conditions like irritable bowel syndrome through transcranial stimulation. Transmitter implants are microscopic devices grown adjacent to nerve cells to enable stasis V.R. connectivity. Butler bots are advanced robots with panther-like movement and multi-limb coordination deployed by the AI Butler for complex tasks. Whisper drones are small flying robots used for communication or monitoring within the building. Kinetic-weave silk is a smart fabric that can be printed on-demand to create custom clothing. Bioprinted composites and layered 2D materials are advanced substances used to construct brain life-support containers. Brain containers are life-support appliances that house human brains with synthetic blood circulation for extended survival. Synthetic blood circulation systems oxygenate and pump artificial blood through preserved brains in containers. Hauler bots are reconfigurable transport robots that can carry cargo or passengers through the facility. Doll bots are humanoid remote-operated robots with realistic features that allow users to inhabit physical forms. Mannequin bots are basic poseable robots originally designed for display that can be repurposed for remote presence. Server bots are service robots that prepare and deliver meals to residents. Twenty bot orchestra consists of identical gender-neutral robots configured to perform music together. A.R. night vision is an augmented reality feature that enhances visibility in low-light conditions. Terrain modeling software visualizes soil layers, water tables, and geological features for engineering assessment. Patchwork screen walls combine multiple displays to create large-scale immersive visual environments. Gene-edited mushrooms are bioengineered food products designed to mimic the taste and texture of traditional foods like scrambled eggs. Smart-particle pillows are adaptive cushions that adjust their form to provide optimal head and neck support. Spa service robots deliver automated wellness and personal care treatments to residents. A.R. aerobics classes provide guided fitness instruction through augmented reality interfaces. Production center robots are automated systems that dismantle and reassemble manufacturing equipment for facility retrofitting. Lutin bots are specialized robots capable of dismantling structures and moving heavy equipment. All-purpose bots are versatile robots that medical systems can deploy when additional assistance is needed. Rail system and service tunnels are infrastructure networks connecting the building to external transportation and utility systems. Training earbuds are temporary audio devices used before permanent Canal Link implants are installed. Foldable lights are portable, collapsible lighting solutions. Many of the characters in this project appear in future episodes.

If culture is a vibe, and instruction is what creates it, then Student Identity is the map that tells you which vibe is actually required for the humans in your room. In this episode, Jocelynn revisits the concept of intersectionality—a concept first explored in Season 5, episode 2 —and anchors it within the AnchorED for Achievement framework.We often try to build "culture-centered" rooms by looking at a "single note," but our students are a complex intersection of experiences. Jocelynn breaks down why we must move from broad identity categories to individual rhythms. Discover how to use the Student Identity & Learning Profile tool to gather essential instructional data and how the AnchorED Equity Audits and Strategic Planning tool for school leaders work together to architect a classroom of belonging and excellence.Key Takeways:The Single-Note Trap: Why viewing students through one dimension (race, label, or behavior) creates blind spots and crushes potential.Intersectionality as a Patchwork Quilt: Honoring the unique rhythm created where race, gender, neurodiversity, and family dynamics meet.Identity is Data: How mapping identity fulfills Principle 8 (Data-Informed Practice) of the AnchorED framework.Structure PROCEEDS Practice: Why you must architect the environment for a student's rhythm before they can practice their brilliance.Auditing vs. Architecting: Using the AnchorED Equity Audit to find systemic cracks and the Strategic Planning tool for school leaders to engineer long-term solutions.The Coaching Corner:Strengthening your Instructional LensSit with these three core guiding questions as you look at your next unit plan:Self: What will this student learn about their own unique, intersectional genius?Peers: What will they learn about the rhythms of those around them?World: How does mastering this standard help them use their power to impact the community?Deepening your Awareness (The AAA Reflection)Awareness: What am I noticing about how I've been labeling people? Am I interacting with them from only one dimension of their personhood?Acceptance: What belief am I willing to release? Can I accept that my people are not one-dimensional?Action: What is the one micro-move I can make next to honor intersectionality?Committing to the Shift (Implementation Intention)"This week, I will [ACTION] at [TIME] for [LENGTH OF TIME] in [CONTEXT]."Teacher: ...analyze the specific learning rhythm and joy sparkers of one student on Tuesday during my planning for 10 minutes.Instructional Coach: ...lead a reflection session with a teacher to identify one "stealth move" for student advocacy on Thursday for 15 minutes.Principal: ...select one systemic gap identified in our school-wide data and draft two measurable goals to address it on Monday for 20 minutes.Resources Mentioned:Student Identity & Learning Profile tool: Map the individual rhythms of your students.AnchorED Equity Audits (Teacher & Principal Editions): Identify the "cracks" in your environment and policies.Strategic Planning tool for school leaders: Turn your audit results into a roadmap for liberation.The Shop: CustomTeachingSolutions.com/shop (Code: FOUNDERS for $4 off until June 3rd!)

On this episode of Govtech Today, hosts Russell Lowery and Jennifer Saha examine how global disruption and an AI-driven hardware boom are colliding with government procurement realities. They discuss how rapid supplier price spikes and delivery uncertainty strain California's fixed price schedules—often locked for six months—creating delayed quotes, uncompetitive bids, and the risk that vendors stop bidding rather than sell at a loss, leading to project delays and a focus on mission-critical needs. The conversation then shifts to federal AI regulation: a new plan and executive-order direction may set guardrails while still leaving states to manage AI procurement rules, potentially forcing early-moving states like California, Colorado, and New York to roll back some efforts later. They close on how legislation lags fast-moving AI, and how adoption varies widely across agencies and cities.   00:00 Welcome to Gov Tech Today 00:33 Supply Chain Shockwaves 01:18 AI Boom Hardware Crunch 01:53 Fixed Pricing Meets Reality 03:54 Quoting Chaos for Vendors 05:47 Project Delays and Workarounds 06:12 Can California Adjust Rules 07:35 Reseller Margins and Value 08:25 Federal AI Regulation Push 09:39 Bills Versus Executive Orders 11:08 Guardrails and Wild West 13:54 Uneven AI Adoption in Government 15:29 Wrap Up and Next Episode

Send a textComing from Colorado Springs to perform in Jamestown, the country band Patchwork Jack will be headed to the Jamestown Mercantile, located at 108 Main Street in Jamestown, on Saturday, March 13, 2026, starting at 7 p.m.!The music of Patchwork Jack reflects the band's name: Despite origins in folk, their sound also includes the influences of Texas country, Latin ballads, and Romani swing.The band's name primarily comes from the main songwriter and guitarist, Shane “Bob” Lory, who released a solo folk song called “Patchwork Jack” before the band's formation.“That idea got bouldered into the full band once we got more people involved,” states Lory, “Patchwork sort of representing a fusion of genres and influences from all over the place. And Jack… we used to call each other Jack in high school. Everyone was Jack, so the Patchwork is all-inclusive.

May peace take root in every direction. ~Jack Kornfield Praying It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. Thank you ~ Mary Oliver Instructions for Having a Soul Take it out in the rain sometimes. It has vast, invisible wings that gather dirt and need rinsing. When it tries to kill you that is because you've forgotten to let it look into someone's eyes for longer than a minute. It needs that the way a bee needs nectar in the early morning dew. Every so often, take it on a journey. Let it read long, hard books and let it stare into the depths of the sea. Yes, you can give it chips and whiskey but from time to time let it kneel in a place that is holy like the simple cathedral of the willows. All it wants is to live, to keep becoming. Nourish it, and it puts down roots, it opens. But starve it, and the mind, the flesh is empty; the world breaks down; symphonies go unwritten; the rockets fall; the children die in flames. Listen. It is not too late to wake it. Say the names of the wild, the forgotten things: bluebird, red wolf, robin; violet, child, clover. You cannot save the world but you can open the window for the trapped wren in the cellar. Read a book to a blind man, to your father. Tell a child you do believe her anger. Make your life the first life that you save. —Joseph Fasano

Data brokers sit at the center of a fast-shifting legal landscape.  This episode of The Data Chronicles breaks down the expanding patchwork of state data broker laws, from registration and public listings to how these obligations interact with broader privacy requirements. It also looks at the stigma tied to the “data broker” label, how regulators and plaintiffs' lawyers are using registration data to target scrutiny, and the added federal pressure created by PADFA and the DOJ's Data Security Program.  The discussion closes with a practical checklist for companies that license or share data, including how to identify if you may be a data broker, where exemptions could apply, and what steps help reduce registration and enforcement risk.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I—Stewart Alsop—sit down with Garrett Dailey to explore a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the mechanics of persuasion and why the best pitches work by attraction rather than pressure, to the nature of AI as a pattern tool rather than a mind, to power cycles, meaning-making, and the fracturing of modern culture. Garrett draws on philosophy, psychology, strategy, and his own background in storytelling to unpack ideas around narrative collapse, the chaos–order split in human cognition, the risk of “AI one-shotting,” and how political and technological incentives shape the world we're living through. You can find the tweet Stewart mentions in this episode here. Also, follow Garrett Dailey on Twitter at @GarrettCDailey, or find more of his pitch-related work on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Garrett opens with persuasion by attraction, storytelling, and why pitches fail with force. 05:00 We explore gravity as metaphor, the opposite of force, and the “ring effect” of a compelling idea. 10:00 AI as tool not mind; creativity, pattern prediction, hype cycles, and valuation delusions. 15:00 Limits of LLMs, slopification, recursive language drift, and cultural mimicry. 20:00 One-shotting, psychosis risk, validation-seeking, consciousness vs prediction. 25:00 Order mind vs chaos mind, solipsism, autism–schizophrenia mapping, epistemology. 30:00 Meaning, presence, Zen, cultural fragmentation, shared models breaking down. 35:00 U.S. regional culture, impossibility of national unity, incentives shaping politics. 40:00 Fragmentation vs reconciliation, markets, narratives, multipolarity, Dune archetypes. 45:00 Patchwork age, decentralization myths, political fracturing, libertarian limits. 50:00 Power as zero-sum, tech-right emergence, incentives, Vance, Yarvin, empire vs republic. 55:00 Cycles of power, kyklos, democracy's decay, design-by-committee, institutional failure.Key InsightsPersuasion works best through attraction, not pressure. Garrett explains that effective pitching isn't about forcing someone to believe you—it's about creating a narrative gravity so strong that people move toward the idea on their own. This reframes persuasion from objection-handling into desire-shaping, a shift that echoes through sales, storytelling, and leadership.AI is powerful precisely because it's not a mind. Garrett rejects the “machine consciousness” framing and instead treats AI as a pattern amplifier—extraordinarily capable when used as a tool, but fundamentally limited in generating novel knowledge. The danger arises when humans project consciousness onto it and let it validate their insecurities.Recursive language drift is reshaping human communication. As people unconsciously mimic LLM-style phrasing, AI-generated patterns feed back into training data, accelerating a cultural “slopification.” This becomes a self-reinforcing loop where originality erodes, and the machine's voice slowly colonizes the human one.The human psyche operates as a tension between order mind and chaos mind. Garrett's framework maps autism and schizophrenia as pathological extremes of this duality, showing how prediction and perception interact inside consciousness—and why AI, which only simulates chaos-mind prediction, can never fully replicate human knowing.Meaning arises from presence, not abstraction. Instead of obsessing over politics, geopolitics, or distant hypotheticals, Garrett argues for a Zen-like orientation: do what you're doing, avoid what you're not doing. Meaning doesn't live in narratives about the future—it lives in the task at hand.Power follows predictable cycles—and America is deep in one. Borrowing from the Greek kyklos, Garrett frames the U.S. as moving from aristocracy toward democracy's late-stage dysfunction: populism, fragmentation, and institutional decay. The question ahead is whether we're heading toward empire or collapse.Decentralization is entropy, not salvation. Crypto dreams of DAOs and patchwork societies ignore the gravitational pull of power. Systems fragment as they weaken, but eventually a new center of order emerges. The real contest isn't decentralization vs. centralization—it's who will have the coherence and narrative strength to recentralize the pieces.

With more states expected to adopt new laws, while others will be demanding more detail in existing regulations, employers are challenged to implement a unified, scalable compensation system that addresses cross-state inconsistency. In this first episode of our series, we survey the varied pay transparency landscape, detail upcoming developments, and explore how to use data both strategically and practically to mitigate legal risks, maintain compliance and improve cross-functional collaboration and decision-making amid rapidly changing laws.
