Description
The transient X-ray outbursts of galactic binaries give some of the most spectacular lightcurves seen by MAXI and other monitoring instruments. I will review what these reveal about the accretion flow, and how it links to the transient radio jets. The luminous accretion flow also powers winds, now revealed in exquisite detail in XRISM, and I will speculate on how these relate to the accretion flow, and how we can piece all of this behaviour together into a physically motivated picture.
