KnowledgeMar 2026P2C-006Car Roof Types — A Complete TaxonomyMost people know sunroofs. Few know what separates a moonroof from a panoramic, or why a Targa is structurally different from a T-top.

CultureMar 2026P2C-005Casino de Monte-CarloThe Casino de Monte-Carlo has been standing since 1863. Charles Garnier built it, same guy who did the Paris Opéra. Monaco is smaller than Central Park and this building has been setting the standard for what a casino feels like for over 160 years. Belle Époque ceilings. Chandelier weight.

DesignMar 2026P2C-001Houseplant Standing AshtraySeth Rogen and Evan Goldberg built Houseplant around the idea that everyday objects should be worth looking at. This standing ashtray is a perfect example of that idea. Mid-century lines, walnut and brass, borosilicate glass you can pull out to clean. Table? No need. I wanna grow old with this around me.+
