On Pi Day, March 14, 2026, I gave myself an absurdly good gift: I finally started Speed Racer for the first time ever. Total virgin watch. I had never seen it before, not in 2008, not accidentally on cable, not as a background watch, not even enough to have an opinion. Nothing. …

On Pi Day 2026, I discovered Speed Racer for the first time in my life. Virgin watch. I’m only 8 minutes and 44 seconds in, and I can already tell the hype wasn’t hype. This feels less like “a movie I missed” and more like uncovering a lost pillar of 21st-century cinema.

Joe Biden was so obviously more senior and more senile than Donald Trump is that it’s hard to listen to Democrats double down and triple down on the Donald Trump is a senile old man because we’re not comparing it to himself we’re comparing him to Joe Biden.

Question: Why has the media started saying “anti-democratic” instead of “anti-constitutional”? Those don’t mean the same thing. One suggests defying voters; the other suggests violating constitutional limits and lawful order. Why the change in framing?

After hearing that the shooter at the Virginia college was stopped by an ROTC dude with a knife I thought I would share that just about every man in Virginia carries one of these (this is mine) or something like this clipped to their strong side pocket every day of their life. Not just Virginia.

Americans think $3.63/gal means gas is going through the roof. Even California ($5.42) and Hawaii ($4.85) are still below Europe: Berlin $7.43, Paris $7.82, Milan $7.73, Rome $7.30, Geneva $8.85, Zurich $8.61, Amsterdam $8.67. Paying nearly nine bucks a gallon? Houd mijn bier.

How many cylinders does your life have?
Probability isn’t magical and luck doesn’t build up over time. The world isn’t a slot machine that eventually pays out because your streak is due. Every spin begins fresh. The mechanism doesn’t remember what happened before. What matters instead is the structure of the wheel. …

Probability has no memory. Each spin is fresh. What changes is how many chambers you’ve built into your life. Routine and caution add chambers. Chaotic habits remove them. If the wheel only has five chambers, four are empty and one is live. That isn’t fate or divine punishment. It’s risk mitigation.

When Virginia’s gun bill looked like 10-round mags with no grandfather clause, I was ready to storm the barricades. Now it looks like 15 rounds and grandfathering… which means my stuff is safe. And just like that, my revolutionary courage has disappeared. My activism was magazine-capacity dependent.
