As we consider military and logistical support for Saudi Arabia, a quick reminder: At least 356 people were executed there in 2025. Since January 2026, at least 134 more have been executed. Many for non-lethal drug offences. Apparently, human rights have strategic exceptions.

This is a 2-page ad from 1962 ExxonMobil* boasting about how they supplied enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glacier EACH DAY. *then Humble Oil and Refining, the company is now known as ExxonMobil
2-page ad from 1962 ExxonMobil (then Humble Oil and Refining) boasting about how they supplied enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glacier each day. The ad text brags, "This giant glacier has remained unmelted for centuries. Yet the petroleum energy Humble supplies converted into energy could melt it at the rate of 80 tons per second!". The image shows glacier ice mountains rising up from the sea, against a blue sky with white clouds.
