Different sizes of oil tankers. A VLCC can carry around 2 million barrels of oil. ULCC between 3 to 4 million barrels. Current price per barrel around 90usd

There's a lag with flight prices because the airlines contract fuel supply for a year at a time, not daily

i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

we have saved daylight

but at what cost

I am in the middle of a line of people reading this library book; staying up late to finish is just a public service 😅

Me, apologetically: I signed up for one of those meal services.
My dad: Well, you've been doing it all yourself for decades.

Three versions of a landscape with a meadow, tree line and barn in front of some hills

My grandmother: What do you call a meal cooked by someone else? Delicious.

When I voted for Biden, it wasn’t because I thought Biden was PERFECT. I knew he would attract a first class team for the agencies. Good people would want to be in his Administration.
Many of the same people would have served under Kamala.
Look at the morons & kooks Trump attracts. It MATTERS.

A lot can change in a year.

A lot more can change in 8 months.

Organize. Donate. Register. Vote.

As I was saying: A great night to consider running for office.

I just told the kids that aging means that instead of statistics you have stories

I need liberals to do the same as MAGA; stop bringing up presidents that are no longer relevant.

We used to share pizza horizontally instead of vertically: one kid liked the crust, one liked the cheese, and I got whatever toppings I wanted 😅

Fascists aren't doing one horrible thing to distract from another.

They are just doing lots of different horrible things because that's who they are.

The very idea that after the last year the US has been through we’re supposed to think some other government is more of a threat

It’s amazing to see Gavin Newsom, Rahm Emanuel, etc running the same playbook that has Labour in shambles here and people refuse to see how it’ll play out just the same.

Gonna be honest.

The books we read when we were young are incredibly important to us.

But…that’s books. Plural.

It buys us margin to let some of them go.

My brain doesn’t know how to process watching the USA women hockey players singing the national anthem wearing their gold medals while Republicans in Washington are trying to take away their right to vote.

Someone told me, "Trump is both a symptom and a cause," which also applies with Hitler

Olympic athletes, some of whom are teenagers, are held to a higher level of expected maturity than the most powerful man in the world.

"free/cheap/non-toxic youth sports" feels like one of those skeleton keys that would have knock-on effects accidentally fix 100 unrelated things about America

or, you know, even if it didn't, at least a bunch of kids would be able to have fun playing sports

Many hugs

All the "don't say gay" crap in schools is always billed as inappropriate for small children, so now that the 10 commandments are mandated in Texas K-12, I'm over here 🍿 🍿 waiting for folks having to explain adultery and fornication. (With apologies to teachers, I know it sucks for you)

Yeah, US Olympians are woke. Deal with it. Sports have always been political — it's just a question of who's speaking out.

Eileen Gu Will Never Be The Traitor JD Vance Wants Her To Be | Defector On Thursday, a certain freestyle skier will clip her boots on and huck herself down the halfpipe in Livigno, to the feverish anticipation of fans in two countries. Though she was born in the United…
