‘Sky is the limit’: Analysts warn oil prices could surge further Energy analysts warned that oil prices could continue to rise in response to the war in the Middle East.

Just imagine where we’d be today if it weren’t for Big Oil’s decades-long campaign to deceive the public about the climate harms of its fossil fuel products and delay the transition to cleaner, safer, and more affordable energy sources.

If a bunch of out of touch boomers didn't rush everyone back to work instead of a hybrid model, the rise in gas prices wouldn't hurt as much.

As temperatures rise aboveground, the number of subway riders reporting uncomfortable heat belowground increases, according to a new study in the journal Nature Cities. This could worsen as climate change, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, makes for a hotter planet.

Women warn European governments on March 8: “We won’t work for your wars” : Peoples Dispatch Women across Europe protested militarization, austerity, and the far-right in massive International Women's Day demonstrations.

60 Minutes. A stopwatch. “Is NBC hiring? Lesley Stahl investigates.”

The Onion’s print ads are the best thing in the newspaper.

A lot going on here, including the "desperate and scrambling" projection, and the made-up claim that we bombed a school because terrorists were using it to launch missiles at us, but remember also that Hegseth thinks the Geneva Conventions are "woke" and biblical law guides his decisions.

Actually, Congress can demand a mental and physical health evaluation of the president. It’s never been done. But the law is clear.

Played with an all woman big band for the international women’s day 😊

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

An etching of a scene from The Ingoldsby Legends, in which three witches fly through an interior on brooms, surprising the occupants, who have emerged in their nightclothes with a candle (on the left) to stare in shock at the scene. The witches are in the act of flying up and out the chimney, and one looks back over her shoulder at the watchers with a smile.
