With 20% of global LNG flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, even threats of disruption have raised EU gas prices by 20%. Europe's refusal to sign long-term LNG deals or develop local hydrocarbon resources is backfiring. Oil and the security of its supply have stolen the media spotlight in the context of the new Middle East war, and with good reason. Ever since Israel first bombed Iran, diesel prices have soared, jet fuel prices have soared, and importers have been troubled. For Europe, the situation is even worse due to natural gas. Europe has been hurt more than others by the diesel price surge because it has boosted its imports considerably over the past years. About 20% of the diesel Europe consumes comes from imports, and a lot of these imports come from the Middle East. The situation is not much different in jet fuel. Europe depends on imports and a solid chunk of these imports comes from the Middle East. What's true of these essential fuels is doubly true of natural gas—even though direct imports of gas from the Middle East constitute a modest 10% of total imports. Yet they constitute a substantial portion of global gas exports, so any suggestion of disrupted supply affects gas prices in exactly the same way it has affected oil prices—and makes a vital commodity less affordable for Europeans.  Europe needs to refill its gas storage caverns for next winter. Even if it cancels the 90% refill rate requirement, it still needs to buy a lot of gas, most of it on the spot market because of that aversion to long-term gas commitments it believes is part and parcel of the transition effort. And geopolitics has made LNG costlier—which will add billions to the refill bill.

Don't blame women. Men are failing spectacularly and it's totally their own fault. In What Is Wrong with Men, cultural critic Jessica Crispin borrows from Michael Douglas movies to dissect how masculinity devolved from Seventies style vulnerability into today's aggressive displays of insecurity. While billionaires like Musk compulsively impregnate women and Zuckerberg learns jujitsu to feel "manly," basement-dwelling incels worship sex traffickers like Andrew Tate. The old patriarchy died in the 1980s, Crispin argues, but men refuse to adapt, expecting the world to revolve around them instead of building female-style support systems. It's the Michael Douglas Trap. From Gordon Gekko's greed to crypto-gambling bros, modern masculinity has degenerated into a grotesque performance of insecurity—and it's getting worse. 1. Modern masculinity is trapped between dead patriarchy and refusal to adapt Crispin argues that traditional patriarchal structures collapsed in the 1980s, but men still expect the world to revolve around them instead of building new support systems like women did. KEY QUOTE: "The world is supposed to adapt to men. Men are not supposed to adopt to the world."2. Billionaire masculinity reveals desperate insecurity despite ultimate success Even the world's richest men obsessively seek validation through physical transformation and procreation, proving that external markers of success no longer provide masculine identity. KEY QUOTE: "Nothing is ever enough anymore. And so that's why you see Elon Musk will never stop having children, never stop fathering children. Jeff Bezos will never have enough money to be satisfied."3. The 1980s created a fantasy of male rejection to mask female-initiated abandonment As women initiated two-thirds of divorces, Hollywood created the "midlife crisis" narrative where men chose to leave, protecting male ego from the reality of being unwanted. KEY QUOTE: "There was this sort of fantasy that was being created at the time of the male midlife crisis, where a kind of, you can't fire me, I quit. Fantasy was being generated."4. Today's male influencers have inverted basic human connection into pathology The evolution from 1970s male vulnerability to Andrew Tate's misogyny represents a complete rejection of emotional intimacy and romantic love. KEY QUOTE: "Andrew Tate does not fall in love, you know, he sexually violates, he's charged with sex trafficking... You can't hold a woman's hand, that's gay. You can have sex with women, that is gay."5. The crisis requires material solutions, not emotional band-aids Rather than teaching boys to cry, society needs to address the gambling-based economy and lack of meaningful work that creates destructive masculine behaviors. KEY QUOTE: "You're not gonna be able to fight against that just by learning how to cry... This is about making sure people have steady employment, making sure that people have study income, making sure the people have health care and community."Nothing explains everything. Not even Michael Douglas movies. But just as women like setting traps, men love stumbling into them. I'm not convinced by Crispin's reading of Hollywood movies. Men have always been making fools of themselves on screen - from Jimmy Stewart in Vertigo to the equally pathetic Douglas in Wall Street. Everything is supposed to be in crisis in America these days: from democracy to capitalism to masculinity. But if crisis means that men (or women) aren't quite sure how to behave around the other sex, then they've been in crisis forever. So I'm unconvinced. No doubt because I'm in crisis.

In the first half of this special two-part webinar replay, Bryan Kortis of Neighborhood Cats walks us through the foundational and intermediate techniques that can make or break a successful Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) effort. Drawing from decades of field experience, Bryan shares tried-and-true strategies for preparing a trapping site, creating effective feeding patterns, and managing large colony trappings with confidence. Listeners will come away with an understanding of the practical tools—like gravity traps, bait techniques, and trap mats—that make trapping more efficient and less stressful for cats and caregivers alike. Bryan also offers valuable seasonal tips, including how to trap safely in winter and how to take advantage of predictable feline behavior. The episode wraps up with an introduction to the monumental post-wildfire trapping campaign in Maui, which sets the stage for Part 2.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses the “Jeitinho Brasileiro” — the Brazilian way of solving problems creatively, often with limited resources. While this ingenuity is a strength, it becomes risky when improvisation turns into standard practice. He shares a story of a glass installer who used chewing gum instead of putty, which worked but became a habit. In projects, this mindset can lead to poor documentation, rushed timelines, and weak planning. Flexibility is vital, but it must not replace structured processes. True project maturity comes from building sustainable systems, not relying on last-minute fixes. Creativity should be embraced, but always directed toward lasting, professional solutions, not temporary patches. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

In today's episode, I'm sharing a powerful and uncomfortable truth: you can be incredibly productive and still be wildly ineffective. If you've ever felt like your days are full but your life feels stuck — this is for you. I'm drawing inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis — a book where the devil teaches his apprentice how to keep someone distracted from living a meaningful, intentional life. One of the strategies? Keep them trapped in their to-do list. Make them believe that daily logistics are real life — and never let them question it. We're talking about: The danger of mistaking motion for progress How the “secondary” quietly replaces the “primary” Why the tasks that feel urgent often aren't important How to reframe your days around what truly matters This isn't about doing less — it's about making room for what's real.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross ​dives deep into a topic that many leaders shy away from: the loneliness of leadership. He opens up about his experiences as a solo founder, the mental and emotional burden that comes with leading organizations, and how success can bring unexpected isolation. More importantly, Ross offers practical and powerful advice on how leaders can build resilience, create support systems, and avoid common traps that lead to burnout and self-doubt. If you've ever felt alone at the top, this is the reminder you didn't know you needed. Key Takeaways and Insights: The Quiet Weight of Foundership Leadership is often glamorized from the outside, but behind closed doors, it can be emotionally and mentally taxing. Founders are expected to always be “on” — delivering, solving, and showing up, even during personal lows. “Being a founder is a gift, but it's also one of the loneliest jobs.” What Makes Leadership So Isolating It's not physical solitude, but the responsibility that isolates leaders. You make decisions that shape careers — sometimes lives — and often have no one to share the burden with. The Trap of Self-Containment One of the biggest mistakes is trying to carry everything alone. Delegating responsibility and building trust with team members can alleviate this loneliness. Four Reasons Leaders Feel Isolated

It's National Martini Day! So join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they look at Israel's ingenious plan to kill many top Iranian military figures as the airstrikes began last week. They also consider President Trump's final push for a nuclear deal with Iran, and Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost openly admitting he wants amnesty and citizenship for every illegal immigrant.First, they break down how Israel's Mossad cleverly exploited Iranian communications to lure top commanders into the same bunker and then made that the first target of the bombing campaign. Jim and Greg can't help but limagine the generals questioning who called the meeting moments before the explosion. Jim says this also confirms his long-standing loathing of in-person meetings.Next, they react to President Trump and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff trying the diplomatic route one more time to get Iran to abandon it's nuclear weapons ambitions. Jim has been less than impressed with Witkoff's performance in the Middle East and Russia so far. He also says it's clear Trump is doing everything he can to avoid a full-scale war with Iran.Finally, they react to Rep. Frost's openly radical proposal to solve illegal immigration by simply granting amnesty and citizenship to everyone here unlawfully. Jim and Greg dissect the political and national security consequences, with Jim arguing this reflects Democrats' ongoing delusion that Americans support their policies but just need them explained better.Finally, they cringe at the absurd but honest call from Rep. Frost to end the problem of illegal immigrants by quickly legalizing them and making them citizens. Amnesty would not only reward the existing lawbreakers but attract many more people to come here illegally. Jim says this is also evidence that many Dems convinced themselves of the delusion that Americans really do love their policies and they only need to communicate them better. Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
