summary

A sprint of six five-minute pieces: a talk that treats storytelling as a protocol and argues oral tales act like lossy compression for knowledge; a warehouse anecdote that proves a forklift license beats generated docs — machine is not the skill; a punchline that party invites work best as a four-page invite with nine sections and accessibility/layout details; a roundup of Asimov stories as lenses on deepfakes and agency; a Git horror story where a GitHub action deleted branches and local clones restore everything; and film-editing lessons on structure, instincts, and invisible craft.
