US airlines no longer hedge fuel costs. That could hurt margins if Iran conflict lingers U.S. airlines abandoned the practice of hedging against fuel costs long ago. With oil prices surging following U.S.-Israel strikes ​on Iran, they could be looking at a big bite out of their bottom lin...

A thing I learned just now is that US airlines stopped hedging fuel costs. I just... assumed they... still did that? (Apparently EU & Asian air carriers still do?) www.reuters.com/business/ene...

It's not just the last thing I'd delegate; it's the last thing I *write*. The article evolves so much over time! How can I know what I think 'til I see what I say?

the point of LL is to go Mindhunter on your opponent using all available OSINT on them, in the hopes you can maybe win or tie on D because you cannot for the life of you drag out of your memory an answer you *know* you know and will feel colossally stupid for forgetting when you finally see it

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

On top of the concentration camps, kidnapping, and murders, the news now reports ICE is buying microwave tech to kill the car engines of first amendment legal observers. And Democrats are still not even asking to claw back the 2025 budget increases.

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026

Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Really proud of this piece and so thankful to all the sex workers who talked with me while I was researching! I don’t often see this framed as a speech and artistic expression issue but it is: Visa/MC are effectively crowning themselves art directors as they rip sex workers off.

The FBI Is Using AI to Hack Targets AI is a “game changer” for what the FBI calls remote access operations, an FBI official said in response to a 404 Media question on Tuesday.
