Here’s something I noticed and investigated while working on my graph of the two wars’ impacts on oil & fuel prices: US diesel (weekly avg) tracks overwhelmingly at ~5% of Brent crude (daily high) over the past 7.75 years. Another indication that banning diesel exports won’t help bring prices down…
Pie chart showing Days of US Average Diesel Prices as a Percentage of Brent
Crude Highs Jan 1, 2019 - Sept 30, 2026 (2812 consecutive days) from US Federal Reserve & Business Insider data

5% ratio = 66.7% 
4 & 6 % = 30.8%
3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11% combined = 2.4%

5% = 1,876 days
6% = 475 days
4% = 391 days 
8% = 19 days
7% = 15 days
10 % = 15 days
11% = 9 days
9 % = 7 days
3 % = 5 days

I can believe that OLC's 'Murder Memo' for the boat strikes may have been tightly held (at least initially) within the executive branch—including because it couldn't withstand scrutiny. But the notion that it exists in hard copy only? Did OLC compose it on a classified typewriter?

Is this declaration accurate? If so, why is the memo so tightly controlled? (We can guess) If the declaration is accurate, seems to complicate the ability of US military personnel to claim they were relying upon this OLC memo.

Per declaration from the Pentagon's General Counsel, the OLC boat strike memo is TS/SCI, exists in hard copy only, there are only four hard copies, and DoD's sole copy is secured in his safe. Umm, ok This is not some sort of super secret squirrel CA program www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

The smallest bat in North America is the canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), also called the western pipistrelle or American parastrelle. They weigh about 3–6 grams, the weight of a US penny, sheet of paper, or teaspoon of sugar. In flight, they're sometimes confused for moths or butterflies.
A tiny smoke-grey furry bat with darker face, ears and wings.  The big story is the tiny size.  The entire bat fits on a portion of a human's thumb, a tee-weeny tiny little guy.

This is a viral photo that's circulated for years, but I found it on r/BatFacts posted by u/Pardusco.
