As some of you may know, I use data a fair amount in my journalism. So I'm trying something: When the mood strikes me, I'll do a thread where I try to use data to answer a question I have about the world.

Today's question: why did @netflix cancel #KAOS? For those who don't know, #KAOS is a show where the Greek pantheon still rules in the modern day, and Zeus is Jeff Goldblum in a track suit. Pretty good concept!
After premiering on Netflix on August 29, it garnered generally favorable reviews and a passionate, growing fan base.

As I have been able to on parental leave, I have been monitoring the #LK99 story. Some quick reactions (short 🧵):

For example, at what current would a magnet made of it or derivatives quench? Only now, amid investment in nuclear fusion, have high-temp superconductor tapes found a major market.
