Driving Like a Maniac Should Have Consequences

February 22, 2026


The Winter Olympics are basically over as I write this, and I didn’t watch much of it, though I did notice that drone footage following downhill skiers kicks ass. I understand various safety concerns, but at a certain point, one wonders why drones aren’t used more extensively over soccer matches, baseball games, and other outdoor sporting events where cable-guided cameras over the playing surface are impractical.

This month, I’ve written about a cool philosophy book, how I've been radicalized against cars, a critically-acclaimed TV show I’m finally watching, Barack Obama’s opinion on aliens, our gambling dystopia, and more. LFG.
