39 years ago today, Knightmare's first dungeoneer set out on a quest. There was no turning back.

SOMEONE BUILT WORDLE BUT FOR MINI GOLF AND IT IS QUIETLY BECOMING MY FAVORITE MORNING RITUAL
it's called putt.day.
you open the tab and there is one mini golf hole. that's the whole game. one new hole every midnight pacific. same hole for everyone in the world. your first finish counts.
you click the ball, drag back like a slingshot, let go. the further you pull, the harder you hit.
today's hole is called "Up and around." it's an S-shaped tropical island floating in dark teal water, with cross-barriers and one little wooden ramp that i ricocheted off three times in a row. par 6.
at the top of the screen, a live ticker scrolls past in real time:
> someone holed 6/6 · par
> someone holed 5/6 · birdie
> someone holed 11/6 · +5
real strangers are putting on the same hole as you. you can see the ghost rings of where their balls travelled, in cyan and purple and pink.
when you finish, you get a wordle-style share card. emoji result. takes one tap to drop into a group chat.
PC Gamer just wrote a whole love letter to it. the writer admits they scored a 20 on a par 12. they were thrilled.
the developer goes by ell.dev. the 3D models are from Kenney, a guy who has been releasing free CC0 game assets for over a decade.
no signup. no account. no tracking. your streak lives in your browser. if you clear your cookies, the streak dies with them.
the about page says it in one sentence: "Same hole for everyone, new one at midnight Pacific, and your first finish is your score. That's the whole game."
we are 35 days into the project and the calendar archive lets you play every single previous hole.
i don't know why this is so satisfying. i just know i was supposed to be writing this post and i kept reopening the tab.
the internet is healing.

Haaland loves carrots and tells everyone how often he eats them. As a result, they have become incredibly popular with Norwegian children, who eat them instead of sweets and call them "Haaland's candy." Carrot sales in Norway have almost doubled this year.🥕🥕🧑🌾

You are replaceable at work, but you are NOT replaceable at home. A beautiful and poignant reflection that applies to all clinicians.

If there was one article you want to read as a clinician?

Via @jenna_taglienti - an absolutely stunning write in @JAMA_current
"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life. The world may need us as physicians.
But the people who love us need us as ourselves.
And that is the role no one else can fill."
Brilliant - and much love to you

Here we will take a more evidence-based approach to some of the injuries in Middle Earth
