The BMW X1 does just fine—and that’s the problem. Why I’m ditching the sensible commuter for a Mercedes W124, Porsche Taycan or Aston Martin DB9 in 2026.

Dave has slowly become the best rapper alive
The Boy Who Played the Harp by Dave — Review Top song: Marvellous Rating : M — Masterclass It’s been almost 10 years since I initially penned “Rap Isn’t Fun Anymore.” Interestingly enough, I also wrote a very Carlton Banks coded conservative scolding on why the Migos should stay out of trouble…original…and unfun. The piece…

Radical transparency and my mission
I didn’t start this project to get rich. When the money comes, fantastic. It’s expected, there’s things I can’t(won’t) offer in the long run without a lot of it… But money is not my why… Quite often we see success measured by sales alone. The celebrity net-worth obsession.

Soul 2 Salvage
Honest Work There’s a scene I can’t shake: Bond and Vesper on the beach in Casino Royale. Her head rests on his chest. He sits up, and we see her just beyond his shoulder.
