TK_Wharton @tkw.bsky.social · 23/09/2026FYI: if diesel exports banned, refiners will cut runs as domestic demand is less than we produce. Seems fine and will lower diesel price in the near term, but unfortunately, those runs also produce gasoline, Jet-A, and heating oil which could lead to shortages or at least price increases 131

TK_Wharton @tkw.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Looking at the final TD slo-mo and you can clearly see the face-mask penalty pealing Shough back from the goal line. Apparently, missed face mask penalty not reviewable, so they just gave him the TD, LOL. Juwan had a TD though as well 062
