Gas prices dropping thirteen cents a liter in one day is news. Diesel falling twenty-eight cents a liter is something Dan McTeague says he has genuinely never seen before. Friday is the day to fill up. The reason it's happening is also the reason it won't last.

A two-week Strait of Hormuz ceasefire knocked eighteen to twenty dollars off a barrel of oil overnight. The market loved it. The supply situation did not change. Two to three months of infrastructure repairs on damaged oil fields and pipelines. Qatar's largest LNG facility in the world offline for five weeks under force majeure and still not producing. A global supply deficit sitting at ten million barrels a day. Countries in Asia running out of stockpiles and refusing to share what little they have left. Jet fuel sitting at $1.96 a liter before tax when it was $0.92 on February 27th.

The pump price on Friday is the best news in weeks. Dan McTeague says don't expect gas under a dollar fifty-five a litre in Ontario until this is actually fixed, and fixing it takes months, not days.

SHIFTHEADS: Dan McTeague Has Never Seen Diesel Fall This Far This Fast

Artemis crew splashdown is at 8:07 Eastern tomorrow and before they come home there is one thing worth sitting with. The Earthrise photograph from Apollo 8 in 1968 is probably one of the most important images ever taken. The astronaut who took it was Bill Anders. He died in 2024. Most people still couldn't tell you his name.

That gap is the whole point. Right now Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen have spent nine days taking photographs that may rival Earthrise. They fixed a broken toilet. Nutella floated through the capsule. Mark Carney called and talked to Jeremy Hansen about maple syrup. These are not abstract heroes. They are specific people doing something that has not been done since 1972, going around the moon and coming home. Bill Anders would have recognized exactly what they were doing.

Say their names. Reed Wiseman. Victor Glover. Christina Koch. Jeremy Hansen. Splashdown tomorrow at 8:07 Eastern.

We Know the Photo. We Never Knew His Name. Not This Time

Athlete social media pressure has changed what it means to be a professional. It used to stop at the rink doors. Now there are dedicated accounts tracking every NHL player's follows and likes in real time, and Nazem Kadri's liked posts are being reported on. The game never ends.

Brenley Shapiro has worked with athletes long enough to know the difference between pressure that sharpens performance and pressure that corrodes it. Criticism of a slump is one thing. Being told to spend less time following people on Instagram is something else. That second kind hits identity and belonging and approval, pressure points that have nothing to do with how you hold a stick. Athletes are not superhuman. They are people managing relationships and trust and family while a global audience watches every move and never turns off. What gets distorted or taken out of context does not disappear. It stays and it gets in their heads.

What they actually want when they meet someone in public has not changed: just genuine human connection. That is still the thing that lands.

Athletes Can't Leave the Arena Anymore. It Follows Them Home

2011 was the last normal year. That's not nostalgia. That's what historians who study decades for a living actually call it. Go find concert footage from that year. Everyone is holding up a drink or a lighter. Nobody has a phone out. It looks like a different planet.

By 2012 the majority of the world's population was addicted to smartphones and scrolling. Spotify launched in 2011 and finished off physical media for good. Charlie Sheen had a public meltdown, got fired, said I am on a drug called Charlie Sheen and took the whole thing on tour. Ed Conroy went. He still isn't sure it was real. Divorce rates went down when smartphones arrived, which nobody predicted and nobody has fully explained. Younger people are now hooking up CD players and saying it sounds different. It does. It has soul.

Fifteen years ago people were just figuring out how to turn an iPhone on. Now they're touching glass in the dark at 3 in the morning. That happened fast. Nobody voted on it.
