For those that sleep. It’s been quite the night. A look at WTI as word on coordinated action by the G-7 to release a portion-25%-of its strategic petroleum reserves.

This will not negate demand destruction that has started. #Econ #EconSky

2 MAGAs at a bar, with the barmaid stage right, drying glasses.

MAGA 1: "Trump promised not to get us into any wars, then he goes to war with Iran!"
MAGA 2: "He said he'd release the Epstein files, but instead, he's hidin' them!"
MAGA 1: "And instead of draining the swamp, he's made it his personal fishing hole!"
MAGA 2:" Say! Has he ben playin' us for fools all along?"
MAGA 1: "Naw, it's Biden's fault!
MAGA 2: "Effin' Biden!" (clink their glasses)
BARMAID: (thinks) "And they were so close to joining the real world!"

In the 1850s, before it was denuded by archaeologists and the tourism industry, 420 species of flowers and plants grew on the Roman Colosseum β€” and every single one is catalogued in amateur botanist Richard Deakin's Flora of the Colosseum of Rome (1855): publicdomainreview.org/collection/r...

PS.
Wish I could get my colleagues and you all to have an #LLM edit and rewrite your messages into English. That alone, in saving us from flame wars, would be worth their weight in gold.

Gladys West, Who Got Belated Credit for Helping Create GPS, Dies at 95 The mathematician toiled in obscurity at a naval research center in Virginia for 42 years.

Pausing from all the political nonsense to recognize a civil servant who only received credit at the end of her life for her contributions to the creation of GPS. (Thanks, WSJ, for telling her story.)

Climate change adds 30 extreme-heat days a year to India's coffee farms - Mongabay-India Climate change added an average of 30 extra days of harmful heat annually to India’s coffee-growing regions between 2021 and 2025, according to new data from Climate Central, an independent group of scientists and communicators who research and report on climate change and its impacts. India recorded about 118 days per year (between 2021 and 2025) above 30Β°C, the temperature threshold beyond which the heat harms the coffee plants. Roughly 30 of those days were driven by climate change, the analysis shows. It arrived at this by modelling the number of days each year that would have recorded maximum temperatures below 30Β°C in a world without carbon pollution but were pushed over the threshold due to carbon pollution, representing the coffee-harming days attributable to climate change. India accounts for 3.5% of global coffee production. State-level data highlights the impacts in key coffee regions of the country. Kerala experienced an annual average of 65 additional extreme-heat days linked to climate change. Tamil Nadu saw 43 extra days each year, while Karnataka, India’s largest coffee-producing state, recorded 32 additional harmful-heat days annually. Parts of the northeast also showed rising heat stress, with Tripura recording 47 extra days and Telangana 44. Temperatures above...
