The official music video for ‘Now And Then’ is live on YouTube directed by Peter Jackson. TheBeatles.lnk.to/NowAndThen… He describes finding “a collection of unseen outtakes in the vault, where the Beatles are relaxed, funny and rather candid. We wove humour into some footage shot in 2023. The result is pretty nutty and provided the video with much needed balance between the sad and the funny. I realised we needed the imagination of every viewer to create their own personal moment of farewell to The Beatles" Jackson concludes by saying he has “genuine pride” in the finished piece, his first ever music video “and I’ll cherish that for years to come”.

If the rocket which landed in Poland (red circle) was the result of incorrect targeting, the operator may have input the latitude of a target in Kyiv (blue), and the longitude of one in Lviv (blue). I wonder if other missiles have ever landed at the other red circle?

Sam Bankman-Fried created a secret back door in FTX’s system so that he could secretly steal money from the company. Nobody knows where it went. When asked about it SBF said, and I quote, “???” reuters.com/markets/currenci…

TIL about Disney's Handwich. It was designed to be held in one hand and, as Pia rightly pointed out to me, half a sandwich is also designed to be held in one hand.

The sequel to the Social Network - where the Winklevii lose all their money in bitcoin, and the whole metaverse thing doesn't pan out for Zuck, so they're all classmates at Harvard Business School, grinding hard to become Sr. Product Directors at Apple - is going to be so good.

I wonder if any journalist will ever properly understand and report on Climate 200's strategy? If it's about the money, at some point you have to ask, how did Climate 200 donate $5-$6M, and see 6 climate focus independents elected but Clive Palmer tipped in $100M, and got Babet?
Allegra Spender and Monique Ryan lead an eye watering cash splash by independent candidates at the last election. And Kylea Tink was the “top teal” recipient of donations from Climate 200. Story and data from the AEC here smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

There's an old saying in Croatian: I don't know who is drinking and who is shouting.

Elon. Please—for the love of decency—get off Twitter, hand the keys over to someone who does this as an actual job, and get on with running Tesla and SpaceX. You are destroying your credibility. It’s just not a good look.
Yo @elonmusk while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for their app to get bricked when they say something you don’t like? This is what my app has looked like ever since my tweet upset you yesterday. What’s good? Doesn’t seem very free speechy to me 🤔

Masters of Doom is one of my favorite business books: amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Crea… I've recommended it 3x in the last week, so why not recommend it here too. It's the story of what can happen when the right small team gets it right, and what happens when the core spark falls away.

Musk’s new plan to get brands to advertise on Twitter is to publicly “name and shame” the ones that don’t
Replying to @mrddmia
Thank you. A thermonuclear name & shame is exactly what will happen if this continues.

Australia’s grid received nearly 44% of its electricity from renewable energy last week, roughly double the level of five years ago. Change happening fast.

The mining & energy bosses are about the run their advertising campaign attacking Labor for supporting Australian workers getting pay rises. I thought it was a good time to share this 👇🏼

The link between gas and electricity prices in the national electricity market is pretty clear lately as coal becomes less reliable. @abc730 (Source: AEMO.)
