The development of El Niño has progressed rapidly. Waters in the subsurface Pacific Ocean have now reached a gaudy 6˚C (11˚F) above average. This warmth is rising toward the ocean's surface and aligns with projections of a super El Niño later this year.

The upcoming "mega El Niño" could be the strongest since the 1877 event that wiped out 4% of the Earth's population due to heat waves, drought and pestilence. Scientists watching every weather model update are getting "heart palpitations" ❤️

ADVISORY: Petron will implement the following price rollbacks effective 6AM, April 21: Php 3.41/li for gasoline Php 24.94/li for diesel Php 2.00/li for kerosene Thank you.

Nine months ago Katy Perry was getting divorced from Orlando Bloom on a world tour and Justin Trudeau was leaving office with the lowest approval rating in Canadian history. Now they're holding red solo cups at Coachella like two college kids who just met at orientation. The timeline on this is wild. Trudeau resigned January 6, 2025, after his approval cratered to 22%. His own caucus revolted. Trump was calling him "governor." His finance minister quit on live TV. He went from being the face of global progressive leadership in 2015 to a man so politically toxic that 81% of Canadians approved of his resignation. Perry's fall was just as steep. Her album 143 was her worst-performing release ever. She took a Blue Origin flight that became a PR punchline. Bloom didn't show up to the Bezos wedding in Venice and their reps confirmed the split a week later. She wrote "Bandaids" about it. "Hand to God I promise I tried." Then July 28, 2025. Dinner at Le Violon in Montreal. Trudeau shows up to her concert the next day. By October they're kissing on her 24-meter yacht off Santa Barbara. By December, Instagram official from Tokyo. By January, the World Economic Forum in Davos. By April, matching white tees at Coachella watching Justin Bieber while she captions it "heat checkin' these chickens." Two people who were the most famous versions of themselves in their respective fields, watched it all collapse in the same 6-month window, and somehow ended up in the same place at the same time. The timing is so precise it almost feels algorithmic. The part nobody talks about: Trudeau's 18-year-old son Xavier is now getting music career advice from his dad's girlfriend. The kid told interviewers she talked with him for hours about next steps. Perry went from American Idol judge to personally mentoring the former Prime Minister's son. And Trudeau went from G7 summits to vibing in an Alouettes hat at a festival headlined by a guy his girlfriend may or may not have hooked up with in 2012. Second acts in public life are supposed to be quieter. These two chose Coachella.

We are probably underestimating the amount of oil demand destruction already ongoing in South-West and South-East Asia.

Coachella has posted clips of every performer from 2026 so far on Instagram — these are the most viewed: Justin Bieber — 80.6M BINI — 22M KATSEYE — 16.4M Teddy Swims — 5.4M Moby — 4.4M TAEMIN — 4M PinkPantheress — 3.6M Luisa Sonza — 3.5M The XX — 2.7M Givēon & Kehlani — 2.7M Sabrina Carpenter — 1.9M Huge difference in engagement across performances 👀🔥

First artist to do a karaoke set at Coachella. Justin Bieber had to literally YouTube-search the lyrics, play the tracks, and sing his old favorites on the spot. It was really nostalgic moment. "Baby" "Favorite Girl" "That Should Be Me" "Beauty and a Beat" "Never Say Never" "Confident" "All That Matter' "With You" (Chris Brown) "So Sick" ( Ne-Yo) "Sorry" "Where Are U Now"
