My apologies for the long thin form of it, but an article about this was released early and quickly deleted, but someone grabbed a screen shot of it:

This gives me hope that Earth may some day be able to support intelligent life.

Like 5 years ago I would have been super excited, now I'm just wondering how we gently caress this up.

We'll catch a planetary venereal disease from the first sample return mission.

Venus's upper atmosphere is actually very livable (above the aforementioned acid clouds). There's a band in which you wouldn't even need a suit, just an oxygen tank and a face mask. The Russian probes have also already been considered and a few decades is simply not enough to have generated this much phosphine. When they say there is more than they expect from what we understand of Venus's geology they mean by orders of magnitude, there is way too much phosphine. So either we have stumbled across novel chemistry or a biological process. Either way it's quite the discovery.

Bob Kostas has an opinion about how germ-riddled Russian engineering can be.
