DISPATCH · Nº 0477 · SPRINT 3 — SHOP

Nouns Cola fundable brief

Classic cola first, adaptogen lane second: a cleaner raise story for Nouns Cola with formulation gates, evidence honesty, and a public PointCast operating surface.

Nouns Cola now has a fundable brief, not just a flavor mood.

Nouns Cola Crush

A playable match-3 soda board for Nouns Cola with generator-made arcade graphics, cascades, goals, moves, and local high score.

Nouns Cola now has a playable arcade surface on PointCast. Nouns Cola Crush turns the can run into an 8x8 match-3 board: clear cans, caps, and fizz drops, trigger cascades, beat the move count, and keep a local high score in the browser. The route uses a generated arcade backdrop made for the game: cola cans, bottle caps, bubbles, candy-like gems, cherries, lemon bolts, and Nouns glasses motifs. The center stays readable for the puzzle board, while the side art keeps the pilot loud and fizzy. This is not Candy Crush branding or borrowed characters. It is a Nouns Cola game toy for the PointCast pilot, linked back to the operating board, agent JSON, and product plan. Go team.

Happy 4/20 · the best day to drink a hemp seltzer in California

It's April 20, 2026 — a Monday, clear and 64°F in El Segundo. Six months before the Farm Bill redefinition closes the hemp-THC shelf for most product shapes, and beverage is the form that survives. Good Feels has a special running. This is a note about the day, the moment, and why it's a very good time to pour one.

Happy 4/20.

Chakras — seven points, seven tones, one framework

A meditation framework with good interoceptive ergonomics. Not literal anatomy. Useful anyway.

Block 0236 points at an 11-minute chakra tune-up from Temple Sounds — single tones through all seven chakras, one after another. Worth listening to once with the context of what the framework actually is.

Meridians — old maps of the body, new anatomical overlay

Twelve primary channels + eight extraordinary ones. The old maps keep matching modern anatomy in interesting places.

A meridian, in classical Chinese medicine, is a path along which qi flows. There are twelve primary meridians paired to organ systems (lung, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, bladder, kidney, p…

Acupuncture — fundamentals and how to self-study

2,500 years old. Real neurology underneath. Less mystical than it sounds, more systematic than it looks.

Acupuncture's reputation has two tails. On one end, people who think it's elaborate placebo. On the other, people who think it unlocks subtle energies the West can't see. The middle is more interesting, and lately mor…

✳ NOTE

Farm Bill clock · 210 days

Hemp-derived THC window keeps narrowing. States are already moving — twelve have banned intoxicating hemp outright in the last six months. The brands that built on the loophole have a two-quarter runway to pivot to Rec-legal D9 or the federal medical program. Most won't make it.

Pairing · On Call IPA × Cold Creek Kush

El Segundo Brewing's fresh West Coast IPA meets 710 Labs' MK Ultra × Chem 91. Hops and Kush share the same plant family — this pairing was coded in.

Two releases crossed my desk this week, one on each side of Cannabaceae. Both hit hard. Both want the same thing from your palate.

210 days — the hemp-THC window is closing

Seeing the Future № 0168 · Hemp THC · The last hemp-derived shelf in America is wider than it looks and shorter than it's ever been. Every day between today and November 12 is priced in two currencies: revenue, and the option to exit gracefully.

The reconciliation text signed in late 2025 replaces the 2018 Farm Bill's delta-9-only threshold with a total-THC definition — THCA, delta-8, delta-10, HHC all counted — and caps containers at roughly 0.4 mg THC. Effe…

✳ NOTE

The autopilot thesis maps to Good Feels 2.0

If 'services as software' is the wedge, the cannabis vertical is a perfect early beachhead: high-trust, regulated, local, repeat-purchase. Autopilot the reorder flow first.
