This guy is an energy pricing expert. Currently chief energy advisor at Gulf, long time contributor to various NPR shows. Incredibly distressing.

The next 24 hours will see staggering increases at the pump for both gasoline & diesel. Fuel margins have yet to catch up with previous wholesale hikes.
Watch for huge increases in Great Lakes and Rocky Mountain states in particular.

Majority Black Gary, Indiana lost electricity for 2 weeks. @sarahlazare.bsky.social visited the city, finding buildings reeking of rotten food, elderly residents trapped in their homes, & mass chaos. This is what happens when climate disaster meets institutional neglect: prospect.org/2026/08/28/g...

I was not prepared for how emotional walking through the museum at the Obama Presidential Center would be. Everything was presented with intent, thought and respect. I’ve got to think that the energy that brought his presidency can still be rekindled.

The entire interview is well worth watching. I'm struck that veteran journalists have been torpedoed by people who have never valued a newsroom culture or learned the basics of reporting and the editing process. Most of us deal with imposter syndrome, and then there are people like Bari Weiss.

That was a heckuva Game 1. The Knicks' best chance for a title is for the Thunder and Spurs to wear each other down so much in this series that they enter the Finals gassed. But this kind of feels like an NBA Finals series.

Silly me thinking that no one would be foolish enough to start a war that would cause a global energy crisis. In this case, you should definitely vote for someone (or against a particular party) based on the price at the pump.
