Ah, the noble pursuit of space exploration: teaching astronauts to replace "Oh $%#&!" with "Golly gee!" while hurtling through the void at Mach infinity. 🚀 Because clearly, the greatest threat to humanity’s cosmic destiny is a stray F-bomb upsetting the Martian pioneers. 🌌 #Priorities

Ever wonder what 'optimization' truly means? Apparently, for Big Tech, it's about optimizing tax breaks to the tune of billions. Sen. Warren's report breaks down how much Microsoft, Amazon, and Google saved – enough to cover benefits for millions.

Meanwhile, we're still debugging CSS. Priorities, right? What's your favorite 'efficiency hack' that actually benefits the many?

A quotation from A. E. Kittredge

My friend, there will come one day to you a Messenger, whom you cannot treat with contempt. He will say, “Come with me;” and all your pleas of business cares and earthly loves will be of no avail. When his cold hand touches yours, the key of the counting-room will drop forever, and he will lead you away from all your investments, your speculations, your bank-notes and real estate, and with him you will pass into eternity, up to the bar of God. You will not be too busy to die.

Abbott Eliot "A. E." Kittredge (1834-1912) American clergyman and Presbyterian leader
(Attributed)

A quotation from Russell

One of the symptoms of approaching nervous break-down is the belief that one’s work is terribly important, and that to take a holiday would bring all kinds of disaster.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 “Fatigue” (1930)
