A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share - even if you're the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you'd be right. 1/6

1. I am obsessively reading and listening to anything about the coming energy transition, it's so fascinating and full of risk/reward. This is a good primer (but behind a paywall) Getting to zero – The first big energy shock of the green era economist.com/leaders/2021/1…

The first big energy shock of the green era

There are grave problems with the transition to clean energy power

I just don't understand why it's taking so long and how we are so far behind.
This is how I perceived the coverage or lack or coverage of the Olympics from @NBCSports - utter crap, so bad compared to their amazing coverage of the #EPL amp.theguardian.com/sport/20… – at Palm Springs, CA

NBC paid $7.75bn for its Olympic rights ... and we got televisual vomit

US viewers have been able to see everything at any given moment while understanding fundamentally nothing about what’s going on

I always read these articles from @TeamOneUSA's CSO @MarkMillerLA. Love the work that he and the team behind at the @thelegacylab is doing in discovering how to launch and or sustain a brand that will last.

The brain is a predictive machine. It produces a model of the world and continuously predicts what will happen next. When our brain’s predictions are not correct, we realize that something is not right and our brain updates. Cc @atomiclogic towardsdatascience.com/towar… – at Los Angeles, CA

Congratulations to the designers who managed to sell through the new iOS icon for @amazon - although on researching it it appears there were some mis steps along the way - best thing about digital is there's always a fix creativebloq.com/news/amazon…

Amazon just fixed its controversial new app icon

There was a rather unfortunate design flaw.

This is so awesome: Love the hidden message in the pattern on the parachute - I did wonder about the pattern of fabric as I watched the video before bedtime last night, now it makes glorious nerdy sense. cc @atomiclogic theguardian.com/science/2021… #daremightythings
