@typesfast Another year, another clogged waterway

5 years ago and yet it feels like a whole different timeline

More than half today's oil price slump now reversed

@gurjota What does that make someone sitting on a bunch of gold?

Anybody sitting on a healthy amount of cash right now is virtually sitting on gold.

HELP! A former colleague who is a video journalist is in an urgent need of a job. He has 25-26 years of experience, including 20 years with a leading television news channel where we worked together. If you can help, or have any leads please DM me and I will put you in touch with him. Many thanks!

We're so cooked

@max_spero_ @kyliebytes The answer is "yes" to each of those three questions

I don't fully understand why the industry is struggling so much. Clearly there is huge demand from both the industry and consumer side. - Companies getting coverage translates into revenue. PR firms are expensive - News gets shared and read a ton by consumers. Headline impressions at least are very high. Is click-through rate down? The advertising model no longer working? Oversupply of reporters and outlets chasing the same stories? Subscriptions are expensive, and my guess would be that the median American has zero or one news subscription, which may be primarily a crossword/recipes subscription. I worry that continued reliance on subscriptions will result in more consolidation over time.

my hot take no one is gonna like is that journalism is criminally underfunded and what does get a lot of attention, and therefore investment, is the tech vertical i would love more crazy stories diving into every corner of our society like exactly what patrick mentions but i dont think the incentives are in place to encourage this kind of work my biggest grievance in my own vertical is the death of internet culture + video game journalism, deemed “not serious enough” which i think is ridiculous there are probably layers to this im not thinking of here, though i think the repliers are probably right too that there isn’t enough drama to cover — but a well funded team of reporters digging into oil & gas companies would be fuckin awesome!

@kyliebytes Who's funding this ? (that last part)

@ssaig Not even in Kerala?

Walking on wet soil in the rain. This does not exist anymore.

@RajaKorman @swarajk_

It would be nice if people remembered this piece of wisdom from the greatest economics tweet in history (and the one I am most insanely jealous of not having written, especially because it was a reply to me).

@EricRWeinstein Have you tried: reuters.com

Is there no place to simply get news on Iran, Israel, the Gulf, US forces and the Middle East? Everyone is cheerleading for something or the other. I want to know what is actually happeing to first approximation. How are you accomplishing this if at all? Thx in advance.

@Birdyword This is actually bullish from a natural capital point of view

It's hardly the most important thing happening in British public life right now, but the clear indication that a country and its governing institutions can't identify a gaggle of historical figures with broad appeal without fear of too much of controversy is quite a sad sign

@moorehn When this is all over, let's plan a trip

I realized I've only seen maps of the Strait of Hormuz and was curious what it actually looks like. It's majestic! It could be a tourist destination

@TheStalwart It's the Citadel of Joes

I still don’t get extreme multidimensional space. How could there be more than three dimensions. Ok time. Fine that’s four. But more than that? Come on.

It’s a country with a billion people man. Even the dumbest idea will have like ten million believers. Generalize nothing. Generalize everything.

@tszzl Jasper Fforde

much of the nature of the world is explained by the nature of bureaucracy and yet - bureaucracy is rarely written about well beyond cliches. the great authors and people who worked in a large organization are generally disjoint. more common in east asian media

@KabirTaneja Someone said it

Turns out oil was the new oil all along.

@Romy_Holland Actual million dollar idea

someone should invent a version of twitter that shows you worse tweets the closer it is to bedtime so eventually going to sleep is actually the more entertaining option.
