Working hypothesis: from buzzwords to Amazon workers

▲ Buzzwords

In a headline writer’s dream, Game of Thrones actor Jerome Flynn has joined the advisory board of vegan cryptocurrency start-up VeganNation.

▲ White storks

Two wild white storks are taking a break from delivering human babies to become the first wild pair to breed in the UK for centuries, in Sussex.

▲ Ancient fungus

Fossils in the Canadian Arctic are the remains of a billion-year-old fungus. People wanting to beat the record should check the inside of their fridge.

▼ Genetic tests

DNA-testing firm 23andMe and Airbnb are selling holidays allowing people to “connect with their ancestry”, which is just literal nonsense.

▼ Amazon workers

The internet giant has “gamified” drudgery in its warehouses. Workers can now speed up a virtual car on a racetrack by picking items faster.
