My favorite Dad Joke comes from the video game Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. Your player character is at a barbecue, and in one dialogue option, you and a cadre of other dads fire off a stream of dad jokes. "He's un-grill-ievable," they begin. Their children boo and plead for the dads to stop.

Before I left the World Bank in 2015, the Washington based organization organized an event called “Should the World Bank President be a Private Sector CEO?” While this panel generated a lot of animosity and anger, in May 2023, the World Bank chose a Wall Street CEO, Mr. Banga as the new President. It is becoming clearer that poverty reduction, and sustainable development need more private sector and capital markets expertise and tools. And the market is adjusting to this new reality. Similarly, global decarbonization and climate change adaptation, needs to be tackled from the source up with greater private sector leadership. The great work that International Financial Institutions have done together with civil society groups, needs support from oil and gas producers as they have the financial resources and now the market incentives to become part of the solution.

The dairy sends us milk in glass bottles once a week, simultaneously picking up the empty bottles. It's saved us a lot of money at the grocery store, and a lot of hassle for me when I carry the groceries inside.

Antarctica, the vast expanse of ice and snow at the bottom of our world, hides mysteries that challenge our understanding of human history. In 2016, satellite images pointed to an extraordinary anomaly – a formation that some experts suggest could be a man-made pyramid. While mainstream historians argue that ancient humans couldn't have settled this icy wilderness, there's growing evidence to suggest otherwise. French academic Argo highlighted intriguing Polynesian tales that might indicate ancestral links to Antarctica. These narratives, rich with descriptions matching the polar environment, suggest an ancient knowledge of a land believed to be uninhabited for millennia. Moreover, core samples taken by German geologists in 2017 revealed remnants of ancient vegetation, hinting at a much warmer Antarctica in bygone eras.
