This talk is so dense with gold, I had to keep pausing to make sure I'd fully ingested each nugget.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Ever wondered what powers a solar flare? 💥
Solar Orbiter is finally giving us answers to this long-standing mystery.
The mission caught a 'magnetic avalanche' on the surface of the Sun just before a flare was released.

Journalists everywhere - please, for the love of fuck, stop asking the stupid “how far will you go”, “will you rule out” and “are you prepared to use” questions.
You know what the answer will be.
You’re moving the window on their behalf. It almost looks like goading, at this point.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."
