Neither had I), I’ve come to see the old dad ways a little more sympathetically, and with some measure of recognition. Still, the touchstones of Boomer dad culture have outlived their descriptive usefulness for younger generations. What, we might ask, is dad culture in 2023? Finally, the new dad culture has definitely not found it necessary to put away childish things.

But the eye-catching headline numbers also drew scrutiny from climate trackers and policymakers anxious to see fossil fuel majors show leadership in the renewable energy field. Reuters GraphicsSome of so-called Big 5 majors, especially Europe-based firms BP (BP.L), Shell (SHEL.L) and TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA), already boast major business segments tied to renewable energy. Big exposure to U.S.-based production assets, along with lucrative export streams of oil, gas and fuel were key drivers behind the outsized earnings of U.S. firms. Both firms operate at the front edge of the energy transition in different sectors, and present potentially appealing entry points for majors seeking access to fast-growing specialist areas. As the largest utility company in the United States, the firm is already in the starting line-up for any energy sector discussion.

Even in this golden age of scrambling quarterbacks in the NFL, there isn’t anyone quite like the Chicago Bears’ Justin Fields. He broke the record for quarterbacks with 178 rushing yards in a single regular-season game a couple of weeks ago. One way of measuring Fields’s recent play is through how millions of people track NFL players: fantasy football. Over the past two weeks, he has two of the 50 best all-time fantasy performances for a quarterback. When quarterbacks can run—and Fields does that perhaps better than anyone else in the league—they become fantasy football cheat codes.
