Lurking below the surface in the equatorial Pacific is possibly the most impressive blob of above average ocean temperatures we've ever recorded since we've had the ability to measure this stuff. When that enormous concentration of bath water reaches the surface over the coming weeks and months, it's going to release devastating consequences around the globe throughout the second half of the year.

When you combine this with the fertilizer crisis bubbling as a byproduct of current global events, there's going to be crop failure on a level most of us have never seen during the closing months of 2026. Hard to see how we avoid widespread deadly famines across multiple stretches of the planet at this point.

7pm Friday. You want to go out. First app, scroll, nothing good. The next app: same. 40 minutes later, still on the couch. That’s a Decision Gap. We designed an AI to close that gap, founded on the principle of Decision Compression. Steal the idea here: 3sided.co.in/blog/the-friday…

What firangs get most wrong about India is our national dish. It's not chicken tikka masala (not Indian); it's not "curry" (not a dish); it's the humble dosa. All of us have an unlikely dosa story. Here is mine.
