I was just listening to this on NPR, apparently one of the reason airfares are going up is because of "crack spread" https://www.npr.org/2026/03/25/nx-s1-5759714/your-next-flight-doesnt-have-to-be-so-expensive-heres-why

Yesterday I went to Glenstone, which is a free art museum in Potomac with an interesting mix of art, nature, and some architecture. https://blog.pagebypagebooks.com/2026/03/visiting-glenstone-museum.html

Curiously, the Charlie Kirk banner is gone from the Department of Education building in DC. The Kirk banner was the third from the right, you can see the empty space in photos. Also the name on the building is damaged and the banner that was above it is no longer there either. Pictures because it happened:
