The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.

Time to rise up.

Excellent article. I’ll just craps is fun (occasionally). Heavy slots play gets you those comps, though I never play them either.

What it means to play a game of skill versus a game of chance - or a note to that dude who insisted on calling me a gambler last week. My latest on the sub that stacks: open.substack.com/pub/mariakon...

Wow, America. Wow.

I’d love to pitch in.

I use Microsoft 365 or PrivateEmail. Depends on the use case.

There are a lot of environments that leverage Google Docs because it's much cheaper than Office 365. It starts in K-12 and that's what they're used to.

Us older folks will let go of Excel and Word when we're dead.

ATTENTION. Mach9 can provide a .bsky.poker domain handle as opposed to .bsky.social if you’re interested. DM us for the details. It takes a minute to set it up and doesn't invade your ownership at all.

I've been working on user interfaces for over a year now. Trying to come up with something between MVP and MSP that will be usable by novices (non-poker players trying to learn).

One of the starting points is to incorporate language lessons. You can't progress until you learn the language of poker.

Looking for a UX co-founder. Ping me if this sounds interesting to you.

Mach9 Poker is an accelerated tournament poker training app that lets you test scenarios instantly and with any variations and angles you wish to investigate. Private beta coming soon.

Accredited investor conversations welcome. DM me or send an email request (see profile).
