The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.

The usual media twunts have come out of the last few days looking pretty foolish. The "close sources" and "insider gossip" aren't working.

Freaking hell man, this soccer ⚽️ match-up with legit major dudes on both sides is epic.

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️
