Hello! I never use this site anymore. If you want to see the things I very occasionally feel compelled to post on social media, I'm on Bluesky now. https://t.co/WM32hclRSo. See you there.

Global demand for oil just keeps growing.
At the same time, gas and diesel-powered vehicles are getting more fuel efficient, CGEP scholar Christof Rühl tells @Marketplace reporter @TheHenryEpp.
So are other sectors.

For a @Marketplace story, I'm looking to talk to someone who's closely watching mortgage rates -- whether to buy a house or refinance.
If that's you, or someone you know, my DMs are open!
Are you in the market for a new (not used) car, or have you recently bought one?
Were you able to negotiate a lower price?
If so, I'd like to speak with you for a @Marketplace story. DMs open, or email hepp [at] marketplace [dot] org.

The only sports team I'm truly a fan of is the Minnesota Twins. Been rooting for them since I was 7. I was in 9th grade the last time they won a playoff game.
Tonight's a good night. #MNTwins
They did it.
They did it. They did it.
The Twins win over the Blue Jays, 3-1.
They have won a playoff game for the first time since 2004, snapping an 18-game playoff losing streak that stood as the longest in North American history.
Twins fans waited 19 long years for this.

Three entities have bought or made serious plans to buy the former campus of Southern Vermont College since it closed in 2019. Alan Weissman's firm would be the fourth. He wants to turn the place into a luxury resort.

Did your tax refund decline this year, compared to last year? If so, I’d love to speak with you for a @marketplace story today before 1:30 PM ET.

BTV requires landlords to cover relocation costs when their tenants are displaced. After a small fire last week, Joe Handy didn’t, and the city didn’t check to make sure he was.
So one woman walked to a homeless shelter on Monday night. We went with her.

Last year, vinyl sales beat CD sales for the first time since 1987. That’s meant lots of business for record pressing plants. But it hasn’t been an easy ride.

"So even while recent earnings show the banking sector seems to have weathered one storm, Valladares says don’t let that lull you into thinking the economy is in the clear." Thanks @TheHenryEpp@Marketplace for including me in your story. https://t.co/XJkHyBH2Bi
