I highly recommend this book.
American followers can order this now. Out in less than a week.
I’d really appreciate it if they did.

This should settle the Maine vs Nova Scotia debate that @isaiahbishop.bsky.social and @metronorthcapital.bsky.social were waging earlier.
It’s 2026 in Newfoundland. To everyone celebrating across the country tonight: stay safe and have fun. This is the greatest country on earth, and next year, we’ll keep working together to make it even better.

Word of the Lord.
for almost 15 years, i was willing to speak the truth even when it was unpopular. at first they mocked me, threw rocks at me, called me an "old man" who needed to "shut the fuck up." now they take these things as self-evident.

I know, it doesn't seem reasonable to expect an organ concerto from circa 1750 to either rock or roll. Contrary to that, these do, although I am unsure which it is. In any case, as you have every right to expect, Piccolo Concerto Wien does too!🤠

Useful synopsis of 2025 oil.
Happy New Years Eve, oil watchers!

Below you’ll find my reflections on the past year, and, oh, what a year it was. 2025 may very well be the strangest, most head-fake-y year in memory following a stretch of truly historic years in the oil market.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.
