There's a "your mom" joke to be made about the revolving door behind it, but I'm still on one cup of coffee so this comment sucks.

Direct link to new indictment for those curious. Given the big celebrity ads, plays on both sides of the political aisle, and mountain of evidence showing his drive to hide evidence... I sincerely hope this jackass doesn't get Epsteined.

Context: I’m almost 50 and have worked a LOT of hours/years managing IT.

2022: Learned to enjoy my time, delegate better, and disconnected from work more. Learned how to be more assertive without being a dick. Moved away from endurance exercise and started lifting.

2023: Simplify. Travel, sprint racing, more time with friends. Start planning a career change as I head into retirement.
