From airport trips to evenings in Seattle, reliable rail service is making it easier to leave the car at home, offering a daily reminder of why the region must accelerate light rail expansion to communities still waiting for it.

At present, NATO does not have a clear position on the conditions for invoking Article 5, which undoubtedly encourages Russia to continue escalating and testing the limits.

23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules. That’s the amount of heat the oceans absorbed in 2025. A number so huge it’s almost meaningless…until you realise it’s roughly 40× humanity’s annual energy use. The ocean is buying us time. We’re running out of it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Here's a graphic that does a better job of conveying the point than my original post: even by the (insane) standards of the first Trump administration, #SCOTUS is receiving—and granting—a truly unprecedented number of applications for emergency relief from the federal government:
A chart that shows the number of emergency applications filed and granted by the Supreme Court during each presidency dating back to George W. Bush, with the data annualized to show the far-higher frequencies since 2017, but especially during the Trump I and Trump II administrations.

US oil analysts are now forecasting that large parts of the US will experience shock increases in gasoline prices at the pump in the course of the next two weeks, mostly as a consequence of the failure of Saudi Aramco to perform on its September and October delivery contracts due to force majeure.

What does the closure of Saudi-Arabia's East-West pipeline mean for gas prices?
The East-West pipeline closure pinches global oil supply, putting upward pressure on prices, analysts said.
