Bloomberg Opinion

Ananda Lewis galvanized and engaged with young people, particularly Black and brown people, intellectually and honestly about the news like no other media personality has been able to do since. Following her death last week, I wrote about how the popularization of influencers, celebrity gossip and misinformation has contributed to disinvestment in journalism among this group - and how they're worse off for it.

With temperatures reaching the triple digits in the US this week ... it’s time to ask: Can men wear shorts to the office? ☀️ 🩳 As workplaces get more informal, some men are opting to show a little leg — and why not? asks Sarah Green Carmichael. Read the column: https://lnkd.in/eb9KeQqm

You may have noticed: it's hot. The heat dome smothering the US this week reminded me of a piece I wrote around this time (and this wet bulb temperature) last summer. TLDR: go ahead, wear shorts at the office. Just no flip flops, please, unless you are a lifeguard. Gift link! https://lnkd.in/e_7CmdHi

The heat dome gripping the US should be a sharp rebuttal to the climate-change deniers running the government. Because as hot as this summer will be, it’s also one of the coolest we will ever enjoy again, says Mark Gongloff. Read the column: https://lnkd.in/eYUYWCir

Weather isn’t climate, and a heat wave isn’t proof of human-induced global warming any more than a snowball disproves it. At the same time, nothing quite focuses the mind on the causes and effects of a hotter planet than Mother Nature covering half of the United States with a giant pot lid, turning up the burner and letting it boil for a while. As hot as this summer will be, it’s also one of the coolest we will ever enjoy again. Just how much hotter and more destructive future summers will become is still in our control. At the moment, we're doing everything in our power to make things worse. Gift link to my column for Bloomberg Opinion https://lnkd.in/d7jvbJXe

Trump's Iran intervention couldn't have gone better, but now comes the hard, non-military part, because there's no one-and-done on the nuclear program. My column for Bloomberg Opinion https://shorturl.at/dSkvI

COLUMN: After the war, the hangover. While hysteria about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz gripped the oil market for the last few days, the reality couldn’t be more different: a wave of Persian Gulf crude was forming. The Northern hemisphere summer, which provides a seasonal lift to demand, is the last obstacle before the glut becomes plainly obvious. Oil prices are heading down – quite a lot.
