  As IceCube surpasses a decade of operation in the full detector
configuration, results that drive forward the fields of neutrino astronomy,
cosmic ray physics, multi-messenger astronomy, particle physics, and beyond
continue to emerge at an accelerated pace. IceCube data is dominated by
background events, and thus teasing out the signal is the common challenge to
most analyses. Statistical accumulation of data, along with better
understanding of the background fluxes, the detector, and continued development
of our analysis tools have produced many profound results that were presented
at ICRC2023. Highlights covered here include the first neutrino observation of
the Galactic Plane, the first observation of a steady emission neutrino point
source NGC1068, new characterizations of the cosmic ray flux and its secondary
particles, and a possible new era in measuring the energy spectrum of the
diffuse astrophysical flux. IceCube is poised to make more discoveries and
drive fields forward in the near future with many novel analyses coming online.
