Crazy People Are Dangerous

That doesn't mean that self-defense doesn't apply against them. Homeowner shoots intruder near Westwood, MPD reports

Just before 5 a.m., officers reported a shooting at a residence on West Valley Circle near McClain Road.

Upon arrival, officers found a woman lying in front of the residence with visible gunshot wounds on her upper leg.

The homeowner woke up to noise, and found her in the back of his home. She said she wanted to buy the place.

Cops said she was having a "mental health episode."

She was taken to a local hospital, and then to lockup.

Self-defense is a human right, and this didn't take place in New York City.

FIDE Candidates Tournament for 2026

The winner of the tournament will have the right to compete against the reigning world champion, Gukesh Dommaraju of India, in the 2026 world championship match.

The winner will also take home €70,000. The runner up will get €45,000. Third place will collect €25,000. The rest will receive some funds based on their score in the tournament.

The Open tournament starts 29 March and runs through 16 April. FIDE Candidates 2026: Eight contenders, one dream

FIDE, stands for the Fédération Internationale des Échecs or the World Chess Federation in English. It is the governing body for chess on the world stage.

The players, and their associated federation and current rating, are as follows:

• Hikaru Nakamura (USA, 2810)
• Fabiano Caruana (USA, 2795)
• Wei Yi (China, 2754)
• Anish Giri (Netherlands, 2753)
• Javokhir Sindarov (Uzbekistan, 2745)
• Praggnanandhaa R (India, 2741)
• Matthias Bluebaum (Germany, 2698)
• Andrey Esipenko (FIDE, 2698)

Esipenko is Russian, but is competing without association to that country or its chess federation.

Magnus Carlsen of Norway, with a current classical rating of 2840, also qualified for the tournament. He was world champion from 2013 through 2023, and has stopped competing for the classical world championship. He did not defend his title in 2023.

This year's tournament will be taking place in Cyprus, at the Cap St Georges Hotel and Resort in Pegeia.

The tournament is a double round robin, which means each player will play every other player twice, once playing as the white pieces, and once as black. As this is a classical tournament, as opposed to Rapid or Blitz Chess, players will have 120 minutes for the first 40 moves. This will be followed by 30 minutes sudden-death, with a 30 second increment for each move starting with the 41st move. (That is notated as 120/40, SD 30+30)

Surrender

Lindsey Stirling is a musician I listen to frequently. I like most of the music she has produced. I even own a few of her albums, because you need to support the musicians you like. It is hard-to-impossible for most of them to make a living off what streaming services pay.

This song is "Surrender" by Lindsey Stirling. It is part of her 2024 album, Duality, and the 2025 Deluxe edition. It was released to YouTube as a single yesterday.

Texans Are Still Armed

You should not break into homes in Texas. Bleeding man shot after kicking in Houston homeowner's door: police | FOX 26 Houston

This guy knew the home was occupied.

According to police, two men were running down the street, and one of them – who was already injured – was knocking on doors. Police say he was bleeding from the head.

At some point, police say the bleeding man started beating on a door, and the homeowner looked out and saw him.

Instead of talking or asking for help, or whatever he wanted. He kicked in the door, and gained entry to the home. He was shot multiple times.

The other guy left the scene, because at that point he realized whatever he thought was going to happen, he was wrong.

The guy who got shot was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

Self-defense is a human right. And this took place in Texas.

AI - It's Not a Bubble

That was quick. OpenAI Shutting Down Sora AI Video App – Disney’s $1 Billion Deal Collapses in Major 2026 Shakeup

OpenAI announced that Sora AI was shutting down. It only in launched in September of last year.

The surprise decision came this afternoon when the official Sora X account shared a statement telling its users that the app would be shut down. Few details were given, other than that OpenAI is “saying goodbye to Sora” and that the company will share more information soon, “including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work.” The message is signed, “The Sora Team.”

The details are huge, since Disney invested heavily in OpenAI and Sora.

In December, Disney made a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and the deal included Disney characters from various franchises – Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and more – being brought to Sora for its users to play with as they made their AI videos.

Disney is once again looking for an AI partner, because they expect to need AI to cut costs.

Microsoft or Microslop?

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog has some info on Microslop. Has Microsoft Finally Gotten The MicroSlop Message?

When last we checked, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was busy trying to shove Copilot, their AI tool, into every crevice of every Microsoft product. Finally, enough users seem to have complained loudly enough to get them to rethink the strategy.

The complaints have been so loud that the guy in charge of Windows has promised to focus on “performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences” for Windows.

That sort of suggests that “performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences” were not priorities for Windows in previous years, doesn’t it?

Anyone using or supporting Windows knows that has not been a priority. Security has also not seemed to be a priority for Microslop in a very long time.

As for whether or not Microsoft can really change, I will wait to see what they do. Words are cheap, especially when you are getting beat up in the press everyday.

Not that I care all that much.

Self-Defense in Connecticut

It isn't clear if it will be considered legal at this point. News 12 | Investigation into Darien home invasion looks at potential link to Fairfield burglaries

Don't hide keys outside your home.

A trio of masked suspects located a key hidden outside one of the homes and used it to open the front door, according to [Det. Sgt. Mauricio] Vigil, who said the homeowner told them at least one of the suspects was armed.

“The homeowner confronted the three masked suspects and fired one shot at the suspects. He was fearing for his safety and the safety of his family, which included two small children,” Vigil explained.

Once there was gunfire, the 3 masked, would-be, bad guys ran like rabbits. Later a juvenile was admitted to Bridgeport Hospital with a gunshot wound. Police are investigating to see if that is related to the break in.

There were other incidents the same day in Fairfield, Connecticut, which is about 15 miles east of Darien.

Self-defense is a human right, but Connecticut is a deep blue state, so what the DA will determine about charges is beyond my ability to guess.

A Comparison of Florida and New York State

I saw this bit on the relative populations of New York and Florida, and some data about how much the states spend. I found it to be interesting.

First the population data that I ran across. I'm surprised that New York has stayed that stable. I would have expected a decrease in the population.

25 years ago, Florida was 16% (3M) smaller than New York.

Today, Florida is 19% (3.8M) larger. pic.twitter.com/Gu4vrxV8Iq

— RIP MASSACHUSETTS (@theripsnorter) March 22, 2026

It made me wonder about the respective state budgets. So I turned to an AI app for some info. I was mostly limited to proposed budgets, as opposed to what they actually spent based on the time I had for additional research.

First NY State: NYS Fiscal Year 2026 Executive Budget Proposal – January 22, 2025

Overall, the Executive Budget proposes total spending of $252 billion in FY 2026, an increase of $8.6 billion or 3.6% from revised FY 2025 estimates.

Because of course there needs to be an increase.

Now let's look at Florida: Governor Ron DeSantis Signs Florida Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget

Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025–2026, totaling $117.4 billion after $567 million in line-item vetoes.

Florida has a population that is 19% larger than New York State, and yet has a budget that is only 46.6 percent of the budget of New York State. Less than half.

Now there may some reasons for spending more in certain areas. Florida doesn't have to plow snow, after all. But to spend twice as much as Florida, on a smaller population... I think someone might need to open a fraud investigation in Albany. They certainly need to ask what they are spending money on.

Britain’s Naval Preparedness

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog has an update on our ally's readiness. “The Shocking State Of Britain’s Navy In 2026”

Many have criticized the Royal Navy for not doing more to assist the U.S. against Iran, even after Iranian missiles hit an RAF base on Cyprus. But Mark Felton tells us the reason why, just as he did last year with The Navy With More Admirals Than Warships: The Royal Navy is so radically shrunk that it’s already inadequate even for the tasks it’s already assigned to carry out.

Self-Defense is Legal in North Carolina

Or it seems to be. District Attorney rules self-defense in Burke County shooting.

I seem to have missed story from early March. Probably because almost no information was released at the time of the shooting. Not much information has been released with this annoucement.

On March 2nd a homeowner in Burke County, North Carolina confronted an intruder on his property, and fired several shots. The intruder did not survive. Police at the time believed it to be self-defense, but they had to complete their investigation before handing the information over to the District Attorney.

Fast forward a couple of weeks to the end of March, and that investigation is complete, and the DA has made a determination of self-defense. That is operating at warp speed for government agencies.

District Attorney Scott Reilly reviewed the case and believed the shooting was a case of self-defense.

Burke County, North Carolina, is about a 75 mile drive northwest of Charlotte.

Self-defense is a human right.

And the slow-moving spread of censorship and totalitarianism coming from the Left.

The slow-motion approach to totalitarianism means that most people don’t realize how we have gone, in the space of about 40 or 50 years, from prohibiting certain beliefs as “racist,” to now attempting to prohibit other beliefs, attitudes and opinions for no reason except that some people’s feelings are hurt.

It is an interesting read.

Cuba’s power grid collapsed for the third time in less than a month yesterday.

The entire country had no electricity with the exception of the places that had working generators.

Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0

The Left loves to go on about how if you own a gun, then you are more likely to shoot someone you know than a complete stranger. They miss the point of that statistic. Rancho Cordova homeowner shoots man during alleged break-in | ABC10

The person breaking into the home, in this incident, is known to the homeowner. That is apparently why he was there, trying to break into the home.

The Sacramento Sheriff and the Rancho Cordova Police Department responded to the 2900 block of Hunt Drive after 9:15 p.m. Thursday night to a report of an adult man trying to break into a home, the agencies' spokesperson said. The homeowner shot the man after he was told to leave multiple times and eventually broke a window to get inside.

The guy who got shot was taken to a local hospital, and when the doctors released him, he was booked into the county lockup.

Rancho Cordova, California, is about a 12 mile drive east of downtown Sacramento.

When the Left drones on about shooting people you know, what they want you to believe is that you will accidentally shoot a friend or a loved one, but the list of "people you know" is actually quite large.

The neighbor you are having a dispute with. The ex-coworker who morphed into a stalker. Ex-girlfriends/ex-boyfriends of you or your partner. Everyone you knew in high school you had an issue with. These are all people you know. They didn't say how this guy knows the people in the home, only that he threatened to kill one of them.

Outside of random crimes of opportunity, such as carjacking, or armed robbery, most issues/problems are going to be with people you know, and have longstanding issues with.

Self-defense is a human right, but I don't know how the district attorney in Sacramento is likely to treat it.
